The second fragrance takes us to Hieronymus Bosh's "garden of earthly delights" exhibited at the El Prado museum in Madrid. This triptych is considered a masterpiece of surrealism for its complex symbolism: humanity is represented, according to the Christian doctrine of the Middle Ages, with all its vices and perversions in a satirical representation of the sins of men.
On the external panels, visible when the triptych is closed, in the upper part God appears in the act of creation: the world is represented as a transparent sphere. Upon opening, the triptych reveals its grandiose beauty.
The table which inspires the second fragrance of Paradiso Perduto is the central one, where pleasures and love are represented: exotic animals to represent lust, a multitude of naked figures, some in erotic abandon, others in the form of a chrysalis, they are fed by birds that carry cherries and strawberries in their beaks, fruits with aphrodisiac properties.
In the third panel the scene transforms into a demonic concert: musical instruments become means of inflicting suffering and pain.
An olfactory representation of the contrasts present in the triptych.
