No. 13 Ulivo degli Iblei
Fragrance notes
Character
Olive tree opens this composition with a green, slightly bitter freshness that feels close to the bark and the leaf rather than the fruit. It is dry and aromatic, steering clear of anything edible or oily. The note gives the fragrance an immediate natural character that sets it apart from sweeter green scents.
Freesia and iris form the heart, with the iris lending a soft powder that sits against the floral transparency of the freesia. The combination stays light rather than lush. Powdery and violet accords become noticeable here, adding a gentle cosmetic touch that keeps the floral side restrained and clean.
Sandalwood anchors the base with a smooth, creamy wood that warms the powder and the green olive top. Earthy and warm spicy accords round out the drydown, giving it a grounded feel without turning heavy. The wood supports the earlier notes instead of dominating them.
The overall impression is woody, floral, powdery, and quietly earthy. It suits someone who enjoys iris and sandalwood done with a dry, aromatic twist. Those looking for a bright citrus or a sweet gourmand should look elsewhere. The scent closes on a steady sandalwood note.
