A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Lemon zest and basil collide in sharp, herbaceous clarity, with lotus's cool florality softening the bite. Within moments, you're standing in a sunlit herb garden, the citrus asserting itself with a slightly austere, vegetal quality that prevents any suggestion of generic "freshness."
The olive blossom emerges with quiet grace, its creamy, almost soapy character anchoring the composition whilst jasmine absolute adds a whisper of traditional floral beauty. The green accords deepen, and the fragrance settles into a contemplative phase where it becomes more intimate, less interested in projection than in creating a personal aromatic envelope.
Musk and amber establish themselves with skin-like softness, benzoin contributing subtle sweetness and powder. The fragrance becomes a tender, creamy second skin—barely perceptible beyond arm's length, but deeply present to the wearer, lingering as a faint herbal-amber whisper that persists rather than projects.
Fiore d'Ulivo arrives as a calculated contradiction: a fragrance that promises Mediterranean luminosity whilst whispering something altogether more introspective. Angéline Leporini has crafted what amounts to a study in restraint—a scent that refuses to project itself upon the world, instead creating an intimate olfactory conversation between wearer and skin.
The lemon zest opens with genuine brightness, all bitter pith and aldehydic snap, but it's immediately tempered by basil's peppery green undertones and lotus's cool, slightly aquatic presence. This isn't the cheerful citrus of a summer fragrance; it's the austere aroma of an Italian monastery garden at dawn, where clarity mingles with contemplation. The olive blossom heart is the composition's true masterstroke—a note rarely seen in fine fragrance, possessing an almost creamy, almost herbal character that sits between florality and verdancy. It prevents the jasmine absolute from becoming predictably sweet; instead, the two notes create a conversation about green florals, with the jasmine contributing warmth and the olive blossom insisting on mineral restraint.
