Monreale - More Than (a) Perfume


Inspired by the reality of the moment and also from ancient cultures, the new fragrance brand "Monreale" conveys the knowledge of elegant perfumes by creating memories. Monreale Parfums has Thomas Tsavdaridis as its creator.

The new fragrance brand evokes the beauty of Monreale Cathedral (completed in 1267) in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy. Considered emblematic of the Arab-Norman style, Monreale Cathedral has a relatively simple and austere exterior that leaves you unsuspecting of the wonder hidden inside. Once you cross the threshold, you're in for a formidable surprise - one of the wonders of the medieval world: 6,340 square meters of Byzantine mosaics and Arabic ornamentation are spread across the ceiling and walls of the Cathedral, leaving you speechless. This is said to be the most significant area covered with Byzantine mosaics in Italy. This gigantic Byzantine mosaic, surreally beautiful and perfectly preserved, is the main tourist attraction of the small Sicilian town of Monreale.

Thomas Tsavdaridis - appreciating the long history of Monreale Cathedral, moved by the impressive coexistence of Byzantine art and the Cathedral's Norman, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture - decided to name the perfume line he created after the small Sicilian town of Monreale, a few kilometers south-west of Palermo in the so-called Conca d`Oro (Golden Valley).

For the launch of this fragrance brand, the launch publicity material was filmed inside the Monreale Cathedral as well as in its courtyard. According to the script, the two protagonists arrive at the cathedral and, fascinated by its exterior beauty, enter inside. Here they are guided by a beam of light and have a sensory experience associated with perfume. Then, waking up in a hotel room, they wonder if it was all a dream or reality.
