Sideris

Sideris opens with a stately procession of resins—frankincense, myrrh, and labdanum—their smoky sweetness tempered by the medicinal edge of saffron.

Exultat

Olibanum smoke opens cool and lemony-resinous, lifted by lime's sharp green zest and the rounder sweetness of orange.

iri·amb·smo·woo

Maria Candida Gentile · 2012

Burlesque

Blood orange provides a tart, slightly bitter opening that fades quickly, making way for a heart of iris and rose.

amb·swe·coc·van

Profumi del Forte · 2008

Vittoria Apuana

Orange opens bright and juicy, sweetened almost immediately by coconut's milky lactonic warmth that pushes through within the first minute.

cit·swe·hon·yel

Maria Candida Gentile · 2010

Hanbury

Lime and orange open the composition with a bright Mediterranean citrus burst — the lime sharper and slightly bitter, the orange rounder and sweeter.

Yazemeenah

Sea salt opens crystalline and sharp, spraying a fresh brine that immediately feels sun-baked rather than aquatic.

cit·war·fre·woo

Maria Candida Gentile · 2009

Gershwin

Black pepper, lemon, and grapefruit make a dry, citrus-led entry — the pepper keeps the opening from reading sweet, giving it a slight mineral edge instead.

hon·lac·woo·swe

Maria Candida Gentile · 2014

Syconium

lav·mos·woo·ros

Maria Candida Gentile · 2012

Luberon

Lavender opens in full Provençal bloom—purple, herbal, and almost medicinal in its clarity.

her·fru·lea·aro

Maria Candida Gentile · 2012

Gentile

Basil arrives cool and green, almost medicinal in its clarity—not the sweet Italian basil of pesto, but something sharper, more herbaceous.

gre·bal·whi·amb

Maria Candida Gentile · 2012

Lady Day

whi·amb·fre·war

Maria Candida Gentile · 2014

Leuco

Honey introduces a thick, syrupy sweetness that feels warm and slightly animalic, creating an opulent opening.

her·gre·aro·mar

Profumi del Forte · 2008

Tirrenico

Bergamot opens cleanly and quickly, more structural than citrus-heavy.

gre·ros·flo·fre

Maria Candida Gentile · 2016

Rrose Sèlavy

amb·cit·hon·aro

Maria Candida Gentile · 2014

Kitrea

Honey dominates the opening, thick and waxy, pressed by lemon’s sharp zest and bergamot’s faint peppery edge, creating an edible citrus-amber glaze that feels almost sun-warm.

aro·woo·amb·ros

Maria Candida Gentile · 2015

Elephant & Roses

Thyme opens with a green herbal freshness that is slightly medicinal and aromatic in character.
