Torino21
A fresh floral woody gourmand fragrance built around bergamot, lemon, iris, jasmine, amber. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Naxos
Opens with a clean, almost herbal lavender that dissolves quickly into a rich honey-tobacco heart — warm, slightly smoky, with the tonka bean rounding off any harshness. As it settles, vanilla and cedarwood anchor the dry-down into a dense, skin-close sweetness that reads more sophisticated than candy. Projection is generous in the first few hours before pulling into a soft, clinging sillage that lasts well into the next day. Nothing sharp or abrasive; it moves like something expensive — Autumn and winter evenings, for someone who wants gourmand warmth without smelling like a bakery.
