Trussardi
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Yuzu and davana collide in a burst of citrus that's marginally sour, with the rum adding a subtle boozy warmth that prevents the top from feeling shrill. It's energetic and slightly peculiar, catching you off-guard rather than seducing you outright.
As the citrus fades, artemisia emerges with quiet insistence, its herbal-green character tempering the hazelnut's buttery sweetness into something almost culinary—like walking past a patisserie with fresh herbs growing nearby. The composition settles here into its truest self: balanced between bitterness and indulgence.
Leather takes the wheel completely, joined by tobacco absolute in a dry, slightly earthy finale that lasts longer than expected given the modest longevity ratings. What remains is understated and leathery, with faint traces of hazelnut sweetness haunting the base like a memory of the heart phase.
Riflesso Blue Vibe announces itself as something caught between Mediterranean verve and leather-bound introspection. Véronique Nyberg has crafted a fragrance that refuses easy categorisation—it pivots on the interaction between yuzu's sharp, almost aggressive citrus and davana's honeyed, slightly fermented sweetness, creating an opening that feels simultaneously bright and slightly unsettling, like biting into fruit that's just begun to ferment. The rum note doesn't arrive as a typical gourmand sweetener; instead, it adds a subtle alcohol-tinged warmth that prevents the composition from becoming simply fruity.
Where Riflesso Blue Vibe truly distinguishes itself is in its heart, where artemisia's green-grey bitterness plays against hazelnut's soft, buttery roundness. This is an unusual pairing that creates a kind of culinary tension—the herbal note strips away any excess sweetness, whilst the hazelnut prevents the composition from becoming austere or medicinal. Geranium threads through this interplay, adding a faintly peppery, almost soapy character that anchors everything firmly in the fresh-spicy territory.
