A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bergamot ignites first, a sharp citric flash immediately subdued by that striking rosemary-eucalyptus-lavender trinity that smells distinctly pharmaceutical, almost invigorating like stepping into a very expensive apothecary. The green accord dominates completely—spicy and herbal simultaneously—with zero warmth or sweetness to soften the blow.
As the opening's brightness settles, patchouli emerges with quiet authority, introducing earthiness and subtle leather undertones whilst the geranium adds a peppery, almost carnation-like quality that keeps proceedings angular and intellectual rather than romantic. Rose and sandalwood bloom softly beneath, providing structure but never indulgence.
The composition becomes increasingly woody and mineral, the cedarwood taking prominence as musk settles into the skin, creating a dry, slightly powdery finish that's altogether more whisper than statement. What remains is considerably lighter than the opening suggested, fading into a faint herbal-woody residue.
Casafutura arrives as a crisp slap of medicinal greenery—rosemary and eucalyptus conspiring with lavender to create something that smells less like a fragrance and more like you've just crushed aromatic herbs between your palms. The bergamot adds brightness, a citric sparkle that refuses to soften the austere character of those top notes. What distinguishes Casafutura from a straightforward herbal cologne is the patchouli lurking beneath, which begins its subtle work almost immediately, grounding the herbaceous freshness with earthy intrigue. The geranium and rose are present—you catch their spicy-floral whisper—but they're not here to romance you. Instead, they sharpen the composition, adding a peppery dimension that prevents this from becoming simply another clean, linear scent.
This is a fragrance for those drawn to complexity over comfort, to the austere rather than the sensual. It's unisex precisely because it refuses gender conventions: there's nothing soft or powdery here, nothing designed to please universally. The sandalwood and cedarwood base emerge gradually, providing structure rather than warmth, whilst the musk keeps everything anchored and slightly skin-like. Wear Casafutura when you want to inhabit a botanical interior—perhaps a modernist home with grey concrete walls and potted herbs on industrial shelving. It's the scent of someone thinking clearly, moving purposefully. Not a fragrance to make an entrance; rather, one that reveals itself to those close enough to pay attention. It demands an appreciation for restraint.
