By the editors · 2 min readTulipano Nero opens with lily of the valley and bergamot — a classic pairing that reads as clean, green-white, and immediately elegant. Bergamot provides citrus brightness without sharpness, and lily of the valley lends its characteristic fresh, slightly dewy floralcy.
Ylang-ylang and rose meet in the heart. Ylang's creamy, slightly rubbery richness contrasts with the classical cleanliness of rose, and the combination creates a fuller, more opulent floral character than the opening suggests.
Vetiver and myrrh in the base are an unusual, slightly dark pairing. Vetiver's earthiness and myrrh's balsamic-incense quality add gravitas, preventing the floral composition from floating too high. The result is a floral with a dark, resinous grounding.
