A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Pear and white blossoms rush forward with almost effervescent brightness, magnolia's creamy texture immediately anchoring what might otherwise feel too airy. The florals refuse delicacy, instead presenting as lush and slightly honeyed, whilst the woody base begins its persistent whisper from the first spray.
The fruity character softens into something more nuanced as grapefruit blossom's zesty aroma emerges, cutting sharply against cyclamen's powdery warmth. Teakwood and cedarwood become increasingly prominent, creating a subtle woody dryness that transforms the fragrance from fruity-floral into something altogether more architectural—pear flesh against grain.
Ambrette seed and vanilla settle into a soft, peppery sweetness that never quite turns gourmand, whilst oud and patchouli build a mineral, earthy foundation. White musk wraps everything in a barely-there skin scent, leaving behind a abstract memory of fruit trees growing beside cedarwood—intimate rather than imposing.
Legni Fruttati announces itself as a peculiar hybrid—one foot planted in the orchard, the other in a timber yard. The opening salvo of pear and white blossoms arrives with genuine luminosity, magnolia lending a slightly waxy, almost creamy texture that prevents the florals from becoming wispy. This is where the fragrance's central tension emerges: there's a deliberate friction between the fruit's juicy immediacy and the woody skeleton underneath, which refuses to be merely supporting cast.
What makes Legni Fruttati genuinely intriguing is how its fruity accords (100%) don't surrender to sweetness—instead, they sharpen against the grapefruit blossom in the heart, creating a subtle citric tang that cuts through the cyclamen's powdery grip. The pear persists with unexpected stamina, its flesh-like quality contrasting beautifully with the increasing prominence of teakwood and cedarwood. This isn't a fruit fragrance masquerading in floral dress; it's an intentional pairing of orchard and forest, each insisting on equal dialogue.
