About Aperol
Scent Profile
Aperol presents a vibrant, bittersweet citrus character, dominated by zesty bitter orange and mandarin. It is complex, featuring aromatic herbal nuances (suggesting gentian or cinchona), a subtle warm spice, and a balancing touch of soft vanilla sweetness, resulting in a bright, invigorating, and unique olfactory profile.
Use in Perfumery
In perfumery, the Aperol note is almost exclusively used to evoke the essence of the popular Italian cocktail, the Aperol Spritz. It serves as an opening note that provides a bright, refreshing, and distinctive start, often blended with other citrus and herbal materials to create a lively and memorable composition.
Did You Know?
Aperol is an Italian bitter apéritif created in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers, Luigi and Silvio, in Padua, Italy, after seven years of experimentation. Initially a local treasure in Northern Italy, it is valued for its low 11% ABV and bittersweet profile, which includes gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona.
