Sea breeze, lavender and pine in a vivid aromatic accord
Gritti Black Preludio Eau de Parfum captures the feeling of open horizons, southern heat and a breeze moving across the sea. The fragrance belongs to the aromatic and musk family, with a marine, fougère character that feels calm at first, then more vivid and restless. It suits men who appreciate classic cologne codes with a more expansive, coastal atmosphere, and it carries itself well from daytime wear into warm evenings.
- an aromatic, marine fragrance
- daytime and warm evening wear
- crafted for men
Composition of the fragrance:
Fresh lavender opens the scent with a clean aromatic edge, brightened by zesty sicilian lemon and airy sea notes. The composition then brings creamy sandalwood, resinous pine and dry tobacco, adding depth and a coniferous accent that sharpens the whole composition. Mineral ambergris, soft musk, and saline algae leave a textured trail that feels breezy, calm and quietly intense.
Story of the fragrance:
Gritti Black Preludio Eau de Parfum reflects the emotion of exploring new lands and horizons, shaped by a sense of freedom and curiosity. It stands as the perfumer’s homage to first seaside memories connected with diary notes of Alvise Gritti’s debut on the shores of the Ottoman Empire. This contrast of peace, heat, wind and mystery gives the fragrance its distinctive atmosphere.
