Tulipano Nero
Fragrance notes
Character
Tulipano Nero is a fragrance for the person who wants to be wrapped in a golden, resinous blanket when the air turns crisp and the sky stays grey for days. It is built for those quiet afternoons when you pull a heavy cardigan over your shoulders and the world outside the window feels muted. The opening of bitter orange and artemisia is a bright, fleeting greeting that quickly steps aside to let the heart take over.
The middle notes of ylang-ylang, rose, neroli, geranium, cinnamon, and nutmeg create a spicy, yellow floral bouquet that feels dense and textured. The cinnamon and nutmeg provide a warm, aromatic heat that sits close to the skin but announces itself clearly when you move, ensuring the scent is perceived by those nearby without overwhelming the immediate space.
As the hours pass, the drydown reveals the true argument of the composition. Myrrh, benzoin, vanilla, Haitian vetiver, and Mysore sandalwood form a balsamic, woody foundation that lingers on the fabric of a scarf or the cuff of a sleeve. This base is sweet and amber-heavy, yet the vetiver keeps it grounded so it never becomes a simple sugar rush.
The vanilla and benzoin melt into the sandalwood, creating a resinous trail that stays with you through a long day of indoor reading and evening walks. It is a scent that demands a certain stillness to be appreciated, thriving in moments where you can lean into the warmth of the blend and notice how the myrrh interacts with the remaining traces of rose, leaving a complex, golden impression on the skin
