Menestrello
Fragrance notes
Character
Menestrello offers a bright, tart opening where cranberry and cassis meet the resinous lift of elemi. Ambrette adds a soft, musky glow that keeps the fruit from feeling sugary. As the scent settles, lavender brings a clean herbal touch while benzoin and Cambodian oud introduce a deep, smoky resinous character. Cypriol grounds the heart with an earthy, slightly metallic edge. The base reveals red maple and cedar, lending a dry, woody sweetness that blends with patchouli and a returning wave of ambergris. It smells like walking through a sunlit forest where fallen leaves meet fresh berries and warm resin on tree bark.
This is a fragrance for someone who enjoys contrasts. It balances tart fruit with heavy oud and balsamic notes without losing its aromatic clarity. The mood is confident and creative, suited to a daytime setting where you want a scent that feels both natural and complex. It works well when you are outdoors or in a bright studio space, surrounded by fresh air and natural light. Menestrello fits the person who wants a woody scent that retains a playful, fruity sparkle from morning until the moment the sun begins to set.
