Gritti
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The grapefruit and pink champagne accord catches first, bright and celebratory, yet the coconut immediately begins its smoothing work, softening those citric edges into creamy brightness. The blackcurrant adds unexpected depth, a subtle dark fruit note that prevents this opening from becoming purely frivolous.
By the second hour, the powdery heliotrope and jasmine have established a delicate floral territory, creating an almost cosmetic dryness against your skin. The rose seems almost withdrawn at this stage, letting the amber and musk begin their quiet emergence beneath, whilst the powder accord becomes the fragrance's most prominent character—almost like skin warmed by perfume rather than perfume on skin.
What remains after four hours is largely dependent on skin chemistry, but typically a creamy, amber-musky base punctuated by faint raspberry sweetness and vanilla. The fragrance becomes increasingly intimate here, barely projecting beyond arm's length, settling into a skin scent that feels more like a natural second layer than an applied fragrance.
Tutù Blanc is a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts—a delicate confection masquerading as sophistication. The opening salvo of grapefruit and blackcurrant arrives with effervescent charm, almost mimicking the pop of pink champagne bubbles, yet the coconut immediately softens these bright fruits into something creamier, more indulgent. This isn't a citrus fragrance; it's citrus filtered through a silk veil of tropical warmth.
What's most intriguing is how Luca Gritti deploys the heart notes. The heliotrope—that almondy, vaguely sweet floral—doesn't compete with the jasmine but rather wraps around it, creating a powdery halo that feels more cosmetic than botanical. This is fragrance as a finishing touch, something applied after lipstick, not before. The rose sits beneath this powdery blanket, softened into abstraction, barely asserting its traditional floral voice.
