Coreterno - Catharsis – Eau de Parfum

CORETERNO CATHARSIS Eau de Parfum

The sacred noise within – a perfume like emotional alchemy

CATHARSIS by Coreterno is not just a fragrance. It is a force of inner transformation – a spicy, woody niche perfume that burns away what no longer serves you. Created in 2019 by Luca Maffei, one of Italy’s most visionary perfumers, this Eau de Parfum invites you to experience perfume not as ornament, but as metaphysical energy. CATHARSIS is a ritual of fire and skin, a scent that opens like a long-forgotten manuscript – heavy with mystery, ancient symbols, and the echo of something greater.

The opening is sharp and stirring: clove and nutmeg collide in a volatile flash, spiked with a fleeting drop of neroli – the citrus-floral light that vanishes as quickly as it appears. The heart deepens, darkens: saffron, dry and golden, unfurls next to whiskey accords, which hum with complexity and heat. Ylang-ylang and rose bring an intoxicating elegance, balancing the bitter and the soft, like smoke rising from sacred paper. In the base, CATHARSIS reveals its true nature – profound, tactile, bold. A trio of oud, guaiac wood, and cedarwood forms a dense, velvety structure. A leather accord, rich and animalic, wraps around everything like a second skin. It’s not just long-lasting – it’s immersive.

This is a unisex niche fragrance for souls who crave contrast – who don’t seek harmony, but embrace the divine friction between shadow and light. It’s a scent that screams and soothes, like a hymn of wild freedom. CATHARSIS is not for everyone. But it is for you.

The artist behind the scent – Luca Maffei

Luca Maffei, son of a perfumer and one of the most respected names in contemporary perfumery, crafted CATHARSIS with his signature duality: heritage meets rebellion. With awards from the Art and Olfaction Awards and Accademia del Profumo, his work is known for capturing emotions, memories, and psychological states through scent. CATHARSIS is a testament to his ability to build contrast with grace – a fragrance that is both brutal and beautiful.

Coreterno – eternal hearts, sacred rebellion

CORETERNO, founded by Michelangelo Brancato and Francilla Ronchi, is not a fragrance house – it is a movement. With roots in Rome, Coreterno combines punk romanticism, sacred imagery, and artistic resistance into a world of perfume, poetry, and symbolism. Every scent is a manifesto. Every flacon a talisman. Brancato, with a background in typography and visual art, creates perfumes that speak – in whispers, screams, or prophecy. CORETERNO means eternal heart – and CATHARSIS is its blazing pulse.

At scent amor, we offer you more than just a fragrance – we offer olfactory transformation. CATHARSIS is made for the moment when silence breaks, when something deep inside needs to rise and roar.
