By the editors · 2 min readItaliano Nero is a six-note Mediterranean masculine with a fougère backbone pared down to its essentials. Bergamot and lemon open brightly, the citrus crisp and unadorned. Lavender joins cypress in the heart, a classic pairing that gives the composition a clean, cool, slightly resinous character — more architectural than floral.
The dry-down brings amber and patchouli, softening the crispness into a warm, earthy finish. There are no distractions here: no gourmand sweetness, no aquatic notes, no heavy woods. What remains is a study in restraint, a scent that does its job cleanly and departs without fuss. Best suited to informal settings where a light hand is preferable.
