By the editors · 2 min readRosso Pompei opens with a sharp grapefruit flash that makes the white florals feel sun-bleached rather than sticky. Tuberose and magnolia carry the heart with a creamy, full-throated body, joined by jasmine and lily-of-the-valley that keep the bouquet buoyant. Ambergris threads through the floral heart from underneath, salted and warm, so the perfume never reads strictly soliflore.
The drydown lands on sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli — a quiet wood-and-earth base that gives the white florals somewhere to settle. The overall effect is sun-on-stone — bright at the top, mineral underneath — long-lasting and softly projecting. Works year-round but reads most natural in warm weather and outdoor evenings.
