Gritti
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Lemon blossom cuts through with almost astringent clarity whilst almond warmth blooms simultaneously, creating an immediately unsettling but compelling discord—waxy citrus against soft nuttiness with green palm leaf threading between them like a plant finding cracks in stone.
The vanilla and creamy notes soften the initial sharpness considerably, with tiare emerging as a caressing floral that finally resolves the tension between almond sweetness and citrus brightness, settling into something almost milky and intimate against the skin.
White musk and sandalwood emerge with pale luminosity rather than dark grounding, the fragrance becoming increasingly powdery and skin-like, fading to a faint creamy-floral blur where longevity struggles to maintain definition.
Siracusa arrives as a peculiar collision between almond-forward gourmandise and Mediterranean brightness—a scent that feels simultaneously edible and atmospheric. The almond note doesn't play the familiar pastry role; instead, it anchors itself against lemon blossom's waxy, slightly bitter florality, creating an opening that's almost savoury, reminiscent of marzipan left in the sun. Palm leaf introduces a subtle herbaceous green that prevents the composition from tipping into full dessert territory, adding dimension where sweetness might otherwise become cloying.
What emerges is a fragrance caught between two identities: a creamy, vanilla-forward sensuality wrestling with the sharp citrus-floral architecture underneath. The tiare here functions as a creamy bridge rather than a heady floral declaration—it softens the almond's slightly sharp edges and threads through with the vanilla to create something altogether more intimate and skin-like than the opening suggests. This is not a performance fragrance; it's rather introspective, content to hover close to the body.
