Intenso di Ginestra

Sunlit neroli, bergamot and lemon leaf open onto a honeyed broom‑flower heart, enriched with jasmine and creamy tuberose. Vanilla, sandalwood and musk melt into a velvety trail, evoking Mediterranean cliffs in full bloom with an intense yet gently enveloping presence.

Scent Development and Character

A radiant Mediterranean floral built around the honeyed warmth of broom blossom, brightened by neroli, bergamot and lemon leaf, then grounded in a soft, creamy trail of vanilla, sandalwood and musk. The composition moves from sparkling citrus light to a lush, white‑floral heart and a velvety, skin‑like drydown that feels both sunlit and enveloping.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to daytime and early evening wear when its bright citrus‑floral opening and creamy, enveloping base can be appreciated in mild to warm weather. Its intensity and sweetness make it especially fitting for spring and summer, or cool, sunlit autumn days, in both casual and dressy settings. Most at home in spring and summer, with enough warmth and sweetness to carry into mild autumn days; likely less suited to very cold or very hot extremes. Sillage is Editorial estimate: moderate projection with a noticeable aura for the first few hours, then settling closer to the skin while remaining present. Longevity is Editorial estimate: above‑average longevity for a citrus‑floral extrait, typically around a working day on skin with a soft but persistent trail.
