Il Profvmo
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bright mandarin and grapefruit burst forth with an almost startling citric tang, the pink grapefruit's slight bitterness immediately hinting at what's brewing beneath. Within moments, you catch the first whisper of green coffee—not roasted, but fresh-ground—mingling with the citrus's zesty sharpness in a fresh, almost herbal embrace.
Geranium's peppery spice emerges as the citrus settles, creating a sophisticated bridge between the fruity opening and coffee's darker intentions. Cyclamen adds a delicate, slightly soapy lift whilst jasmine contributes a soft, creamy undertone, the florals working collectively to maintain the fragrance's green, unsweetened character without veering into powdery femininity.
Coffee takes centre stage with its subtle bitterness and earthy depth, the geranium's spice lingering as a supporting note. The composition becomes increasingly minimalist and intimate, settling into a skin scent that smells distinctly like the inside of your wrist rather than the air around you—green, faintly aromatic, quietly persistent rather than commanding.
Café Vert arrives as a deliberate contradiction—a fragrance that refuses the comfort of definition. Silvana Casoli has constructed something genuinely uncommon: a green coffee scent that doesn't merely sprinkle roasted bean over florals but rather builds its architecture from the tension between them.
The citrus opening (mandarin and pink grapefruit) establishes brightness, yet this isn't the cheerful sweetness typical of fruity fragrances. There's a tart, almost astringent quality—the grapefruit carries a slight bitterness that whispers of the green coffee's presence even before you consciously register it. It's as though you're catching the scent of freshly ground beans wafting through a sun-drenched kitchen.
