"The day came when, during a horse tournament, my husband, Henry II, King of France, was hit by the splinter of a lance and died, after days of agony. Over time I had truly fallen in love with him and his loss it was a great pain for me. I found myself having to govern France, and facing wars, struggles and power intrigues that tried to attack me on all fronts from which I don't know what dark depths of hell came to court Nostradamus. Dedicated to the magical arts, mysterious and indecipherable servant of the devil, Nostradamus was feared and hated by my court, but he helped and inspired me in my activity as queen, often showing me the path to follow. He gave off a perfume that reached your chest. like a shock, disturbing and unforgettable, my perfumer Renato Bianco was naturally fascinated by it and transferred it to one of his most successful creations, calling it Lato Oscuro."

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.
