A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Italian blood orange hits with startling immediacy—tart, almost astringent—whilst bitter orange and lime establish a sharp citrus triad that feels almost piney in its dryness. Basil emerges quickly, green and peppery, creating a fresh-herbal opening that's neither fruity nor floral, but distinctly botanical.
Petitgrain and juniper solidify the composition's architectural clarity; the juniper especially adds an unexpected dryness that prevents sweetness from creeping in, whilst petitgrain brings subtle floral whispers without softening the angular character. The citrus begins to blur slightly, becoming less distinct individually, though the overall freshness remains adamant.
Rum absolute surfaces as a warm, almost spiced undertone that suggests caramel and oak without genuine sweetness, settling onto a vetiver and ambroxan base that's distinctly dry and slightly powdery. The fragrance becomes increasingly minimal and close to skin, a faint herbal-citrus memory with woody undertones that persists gently rather than projects.
Alba sui Navigli captures that precise moment when Milan's waterways catch the first light of dawn—crisp, verdant, and suffused with citrus brightness. Sylvie Fischer has constructed a fragrance that feels less like a perfume and more like an olfactory postcard of Northern Italian morning rituals.
The initial impression is one of aggressive freshness: Italian blood orange arrives with genuine tartness rather than the candied sweetness most citrus fragrances default to, whilst bitter orange deepens the effect into something almost medicinal. Basil cuts through with herbaceous precision—not the heavy, cooked basil of kitchens, but rather the green snap of leaves brushed in passing. Lime adds acidic definition, preventing the composition from ever feeling soft or diffuse.
