Colonia Essenza

Notes

Top notes

• Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
• Orange Sweet, sunny peel with a rounded, juicy glow.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Grapefruit Juicy, bitter-sweet and slightly sulphurous, with a clean sparkle.
• Neroli Honeyed, fresh and a little bitter: orange blossom with a clean, citrus-edged sparkle.
• Petitgrain Green, woody and slightly bitter, taken from the leaves and twigs of the orange tree.

Heart notes

• Rosemary Resinous, piney herb with a clean, medicinal sparkle.
• Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
• Clove Hot, sweet and medicinal, with a warm, dry spice.

Base notes

• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
