L'Extrait de Spoturno 1921
Fragrance notes
Character
Lemon, bergamot, and mandarin orange open with a bright, immediate citrus presence. Orange blossom and rose soften the entry, adding a floral lift that keeps the opening from feeling sharp. Jasmine and ylang-ylang carry the heart with a dense, creamy white floral character, while lavender adds a clean, aromatic edge. Ambergris settles in beside them, giving the center a warm, slightly salty texture that bridges the top and base.
Tonka bean and vanilla lead the base with a rounded, sweet resinous weight. Myrrh and sandalwood deepen that sweetness into something dry and woody, and vetiver adds a muted earthy thread. Civet sits underneath it all, lending an animalic warmth that pulls the composition toward a classic oriental floral profile. The overall impression is a warm, sunlit courtyard where stone walls hold the heat and citrus trees release their oil into the air.
