From the "Book of Secrets of the Ars Mirabile Profumatoria" by the Most Wise Magistra Caterina De' Medici
"I, Caterina De' Medici, was born in Florence on 13 April 1519, and since I was a child I was in contact with the world of perfumes, thanks to the friars and alchemists of our court, who created wonderful essences by distilling them from herbs. This was how when in 1533 my family sent me to marry the Duke of Orleans, the next king of France, I couldn't help but bring with me my world, the things I was most attached to, and, above all, my personal perfumer , Renato Bianco. After a few days of my arrival at the French court, I was overcome by such discouragement seeing the rudeness of the people around me that I asked Renato for help, eager to rediscover that clean, fresh, childish scent that I felt away from this mephitic and smelly aura that smelled around me. He created Alma Blanca, and it was salvation for me."

Ars Mirabile
Over the centuries the activity of creating perfumes became increasingly complex, transforming into a truly marvelous art, an Ars Mirabile Profumatoria, until Caterina De' Medici linked her name to it imperishably over the centuries, as its creator, inspirer and patron, raising it to sublime levels. The Ars Mirabile fragrances are inspired by Caterina's life and the secrets of this art that she cultivated and guarded for years.
