The new BANKSIA fragrance, inspired by the wild Australian flower of the same name, completes the Lifestyle collection, which is known for using rare materials for diffusers and complex bouquets in fragrances.
The exotic banksia flower plays a fundamental role in the food culture of the aborigines of Australia. During the period of development of the inflorescence, banksia produces a significant amount of nectar, which attracts insects. When the flowering period ends, the cones, rich in larvae, are used by the natives of the mainland as a source of protein.

The spicy woody aroma of BANKSIA is revealed through notes of Australian eucalyptus and grapefruit, which turn into more floral shades of monoa oil, frangipana and boronia. In addition, the aroma has an intense aftertaste with echoes of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver and banksia nectar.

Banksia cones are rarely used in crafts or design - due to the risk of extinction of this type of plant and the difficulties in processing them. But the masters of Locherber Milano managed to find an approach to the material, making it a truly exclusive version of their original cork.

The design of the diffuser is inspired by the lands of Australia: the opaque glass bottle of a rich dark brown color in the world is imbued with purple - that is the shade of the banksia flower. The cork has an exquisite detail — a copper ring that protects it from the final drops of aromatic water. The image is complemented by a jacquard label with a texture reminiscent of a banksia cone.
