Legends abound of the remarkable skill of Italian violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, the greatest violinist of his time. He was so singularly talented that the story goes that he was playing a new composition at a nobleman's villa one evening, a piece commissioned by the nobleman to draw a pretty woman's affections. Paganini played beautifully, surrounded by admiring listeners, until one of the strings on the instrument snapped. Undaunted, Paganini continued to play without missing a note, and a second string snapped. He continued without interruption, to the amazement of everyone around him. Surely he could not continue? But then a third string snapped, and still Paganini continued to play, completing his performance on only the one remaining string on the violin. Awestruck, the listeners broke into thunderous applause, and the legend of Niccolò Paganini grew.

But in his later years, when asked by a biographer about the story, Paganini revealed the truth: the piece had been specifically written to be played on successively fewer strings, and it was Paganini himself who broke each one as he played, dazzling his audience in the process.

For Paganini's Violin, we have composed a fragrance built on multiple variations on a single note, all playing together into one unified, singular whole. The smell of clean skin after a hot shower, interlaced with fruity undercurrents and tea, Paganini's Violin is one of our most unusual experiments, and decidedly an in-house favorite. We know you'll love it too.

Soft hearts was a better base. Boring fragrance.

This is almost unscented to my nose. I pick up something vaguely cakey like a cookie dough candle smelled from across the room when sniffing the puck. I did not detect any evolution or complexity when lathering. I did not like the fragrance. The omnibus base is ok. I thought the soft hearts base was better at producing a creamy lather. This is more polarizing than I expected.

The Omnibus base rocks and the scent is stellar.

The new base is super slick with great cushion, and very easy to lather. The scent is right up my alley, I am guessing it is ambroxan, neroli, musks and light florals that creates a clean just out of shower experience. Jump all over this before it's gone. I may order another soap and balm so I am never without.
