Styletto
Styletto opens with the crisp authority of a classic fougère — citrus (lemon, mandarin, bergamot) and lavender meeting cleanly, the rosemary adding a green edge that anchors the brightness without dampening it.

By the editors · 2 min readStyletto opens with the crisp authority of a classic fougère — citrus (lemon, mandarin, bergamot) and lavender meeting cleanly, the rosemary adding a green edge that anchors the brightness without dampening it. It's the kind of opening that defined a generation's understanding of masculine fragrance.
The heart reveals its sophistication: tarragon, wormwood, and coriander create a sharp herbal complexity rarely encountered in contemporary releases. Geranium softens the edges without sweetening the profile. For a 1985 release, the herbaceous construction here is unusually assertive.
The base returns to classical territory — oakmoss, patchouli, and amber, the unmistakable foundation of the fougère family. Austere and assured, it rewards patience.
