Edizione Reale 2018
Fragrance notes
Character
Edizione Reale 2018 opens with a bright spray of mandarin orange, citron, and bergamot. Grapefruit adds a tart edge while neroli brings a clean, orange-flower freshness. Cardamom and pink pepper introduce a gentle heat that keeps the citrus from feeling flat. The start feels immediate and uplifting, suited to a morning where sunlight hits a paved courtyard and the air is clear.
The heart settles into jasmine and gardenia, supported by cyclamen, rose, orange blossom, and freesia. The white flowers create a soft, slightly dewy texture that sits close to the skin. Rose adds a faint powder, while freesia keeps the mix airy. It moves from the sharp opening into a rounded floral middle that feels composed rather than crowded.
Patchouli and frankincense anchor the blend with a resinous, earthy weight. Moss and cedar bring a green, dry character that balances the vanilla and tonka bean. Sandalwood and cashmere wood add smooth wood, while musk lingers underneath. The base feels warm and slightly aromatic, with the vanilla present but not sweet enough to dominate the resin and wood.
The overall impression is a citrus-forward floral that gradually deepens into a woody, resinous finish. Mandarin and bergamot lead at first, then jasmine and gardenia take over before patchouli, frankincense, and moss shape the dry stage. The materials shift from fresh to warm without losing their clean start, and the frankincense continues to rise through the softer woods
