A modern chypre that avoids nostalgia
Rather than referencing traditional chypre structures, Gritti Black Decimo eau de parfum strips the idea down to its essentials. The fruit accord is clean and defined, the woods are dry and controlled, and the overall composition avoids excess sweetness or heaviness. It feels engineered rather than embellished.
- fruity chypre fragrance
- clean fruit notes with dry woods and soft leather accents
- precise, minimal and contemporary
Composition of the fragrance:
Red currant and pineapple provide a crisp, slightly tart opening, supported by bergamot. Birch introduces a dry, smoky tone, while patchouli adds depth. Rose remains subtle within the structure. Musk, ambergris and vanilla create a smooth, understated finish.
Story of the fragrance:
Within Gritti’s Black Collection, Decimo stands apart for its restraint. Luca Gritti approaches the composition with a reductionist mindset, focusing on clarity and proportion. The result is a fragrance that feels deliberate, almost architectural in how it is constructed.
