About This Fragrance
Muschio Oro is a reinterpretation of the noble essences that have defined much of perfumery's history, from the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. A floral and musky construction recounts the refinement and kaleidoscopic world of the apothecary's art. The top notes feature a skillfully calibrated bouquet of white flowers; the heart continues with ylang-ylang, neroli, iris, and lily of the valley, portraying a floral nature between powdery and luminous; the base rests on vanilla, tonka bean, cedarwood, and musk.
Scent Profile
The fragrance opens with a radiant bouquet of white flowers, then unfolds with exotic ylang-ylang, luminous neroli, powdery iris, and delicate lily of the valley. As it dries down, creamy vanilla and tonka bean meld with cedarwood and musk, creating a warm, golden, and deeply sensual trail.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
This fragrance suits a wide range of occasions, from daytime to evening, especially in spring through autumn. Its elegant and refined character makes it ideal for special events or when you want to leave a lasting impression. The warm musk base creates an intimate aura, perfect for close encounters. Best worn from spring to autumn, particularly on cool spring evenings or autumn dusks when the warm, enveloping musk shines. Sillage is moderate to soft, creating an intimate presence that is noticeable up close but not overpowering. As an Eau de Cologne, longevity is moderate, lasting approximately 4-6 hours on skin. The musky and woody base tends to linger longer.
