HERMAN KRÜLL

Here the first brushes with the initials of HK, AK (phonetic) were made by hand. To this day, there are artisans in the factory who know their trade, who know what the best quality and finest finish is for the beautiful woods.

AWARD
The factory has been providing employment for the entire region for many years. There are even third generations of employees working in the company. ACCA KAPPA shows that it has been a good employer in Treviso for decades. For this contribution and the historical value of the company, Elisa Gera-Krüll therefore received a certificate from the city administration.
To be ready for the future, the factory has recently undergone a major renovation. A project that has taken two years, but then it can also be said that Treviso has a pearl in it and Acca Kappa is ready for the next 150 years.
PARTY TIME
On Friday, September 27, 2019, all employees, distributors, and agents from around the world were invited to celebrate this 150th anniversary. A warm welcome in the courtyard of the factory and while enjoying delicious snacks and drinks, a toast was made with the “girls” of ACCA KAPPA. The musical trio and fairy-clad girls with red roses in their long hair made for an extra festive decoration for the evening.
At the place where the machines were, the hall was now decorated with large round tables, beautifully covered with flowers, candles and shimmering glassware. Each table was named after a scent that referred to the scent that you had received upon arrival. As a result, the table was laid out evenly and we sat down with the distributors of Switzerland, Sweden, England and Estonia.
Elisa wanted to give back the feeling of the hospitality she experiences on her business trips. We can certainly say that she has succeeded.

DIASHOW
Een indrukwekkende diashow kwam op het gebouw tot leven; het startsein van de lancering van het nieuwe parfum: Myscent 150. Samen met haar zoontje sneed Elise een meters lange millefuille aan en kreeg iedereen het nieuwe parfum cadeau. Wat was het sprookjesachtig! Een avond vol dierbare herinneringen.
MyScent 150-parfum, the signature of Elisa Gera Krüll; Inspired by her personality is a sensory experience that will probably appeal to anyone who loves Acca Kappa.
The rich and special bouquet first reveals a sparkling bergamot accompanied by incense and Iris absolu; then it melts together through the heat of vetiver, vanilla, benzoin and amber.
Charming and welcoming, it is a very charismatic fragrance, one that you will not forget. The packaging underlines the 150th anniversary: a box in book form that has been specially designed for the event. Readers will find a poem in it that expresses the atmosphere of MyScent 150 in words. (100 ml eau de parfum € 139)
HUMAN AND NATURE
Acca Kappa has been aware of the environment and nature for years and that is why raw materials come from renewable sources or, for example, high-quality plastics are used to make a “turtle” soap box. A shaving set made entirely of recycled material also belongs to the collection.
Over the years, the Acca Kappa collection has grown, but always with an eye to innovation and progress.
Nobile 1942, known for giving their perfumes beautiful names, which are inspired by places or important events in Italy. Pontevecchio is inspired by the bridge of love in Florence, Anonimo Veniziano links to the masked ball in Venice and .. The latest addition to the collection is Il sentiero degli dei, which also means “the path of the Gods” and refers to one of the most beautiful and famous hiking trails along the Mediterranean Sea. A popular one, known for its breathtaking Skyline between Bomerano and Nacelle, where the mountain ridges glide from the Lattari mountains and sink into the blue of the sea towards the island of Capri. Apart from the breathtaking view, this path is also known for its refreshing and floral sensation.
Il sentiero degli dei from Nobile 1942 makes you long for vacation. The radiant and sparkling tones of lemon green leaves are mixed with a bouquet of flowers of rose, jasmine and iris in the heart tones. The base is woody with a hint of amber and tonka bean that form the perfect synergy.
Mainly known from the black gold bottles, AMOUROUD also has a White Collection. For the time being it consisted of WHITE HINOKI (woody / spicy) and LUNAR VETIVER (woody / oriental), but recently there is WET STONE (spicy / citrus).
WET STONE
The sound of water cascading over jagged rocks as it descends,carving it’s way through a frozen landscape, Wet Stone evokes thevisceral power and magnificence of a mountain waterfall. Brisk and invigorating, sea salt, bergamot, and lemon mix in a sparkling top note. The aroma of fragrant wet earth dampened by the spray of churning water. Its minerality and freshness are unmistakable.
In the heart, Wet Stone vibrates with a signature accord. Subtle spices; ginger, creamy cardamom and aromatic sage further revealits complex character. Sensual ambergris, warm Alaskan cedar, bracing vetiver, oud and patchouli, earth and water come together in the base note, an homage to opposing forces, in harmony.
Top: Bergamot, Sea salt, Citron
Heart: Ginger, Cardamom, Sage, Wet stone
Base: Ambergris, Patchouli, Vetiver, Old
Good news for those who love the Nobile 1942 Deluxe Collection! In addition to the fragrances RUDIS, MALIA and 1..1, a new perfume has recently been added, called SHAMAL. Just like the previous scents, SHAMAL is also packed in a handmade leather box.
SHAMAL
There is a moment in the desert that leaves spectators in total ecstasy. It happens when the day makes way for the night and the sky transforms, where shadows are perceived from black to blue and the stars fill the sky to keep the moon company.
You have to admit – it is breathtaking. Unique and irresistible. The pearl fisherman lying on his back and enjoying his view of the starry sky, the stars form his clock.
Pirates can attack at any time, stealing the slender boat, loaded with pearls and cloths, and stealing all its goods obtained with hard work. A dangerous undertaking to transport the goods from Oman to Yemen. The fisherman is lulled by the rippling of the waves, a sound that takes him back to his childhood, caressed by the trade wind that blows, the Shamal, the wind that relentlessly formed – for many years – the dunes in the deserts.
While the Shamal blows, soft and incessant, and brings the smell of dates mixed with burning incense, the pearl fisherman is blessed and tastes some fruit while resisting that temptress, sleep.
He decays to ‘daydream’. The images around his mind take him to far, far away, where nothing is earthly, and everything seems light and fleeting, relieving his body of the fatigue of the day and breathing new life into his mind.
The pearl was formed when a drop of rain reached the bowl under the water and found its way in, turning the water from the sky into a beautiful jewel in the depths of the ocean.
Top: incense, aromatic notes, apple
Heart: Amber and Velvet
Base: Woody notes and Musk
