Smeralda and the Art of Translating the Mediterranean into Fragrance

Smeralda is a fragrance conceived as a place rather than an object. It captures a specific atmosphere - the crystalline light of the Mediterranean, aromatic winds brushing sun-warmed woods, and the sensual calm of endless horizons. Inspired by the mythic aura of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda, this Extrait de Parfum translates landscape into emotion, and emotion into scent.

From the very first moments, Smeralda unfolds with an expansive, almost cinematic clarity. Citrus notes gleam like reflections on water, sharpened by aromatic herbs and a subtle alcoholic warmth that suggests conviviality and ritual. There is movement here - a breeze carrying salt, foliage, and spice - yet everything remains balanced, composed, and precise.

As the fragrance evolves, its heart reveals a more contemplative soul. Woods, florals, and ambered nuances interlace in a layered architecture, evoking sunlit stone, shaded terraces, and the slow passage of time. The presence of tobacco and iris introduces refinement and depth, while soft spices warm the composition without overpowering it. This is not excess, but cultivated richness.

The base of Smeralda anchors the experience in sensuality and permanence. Leather, resins, and incense create a lingering trail that feels intimate and enveloping, like evening settling over the coast. The drydown is elegant and persistent, leaving behind a signature that is confident yet never intrusive.

As an Extrait de Parfum, Smeralda offers impressive longevity and projection, but its true strength lies in its harmony. It is a fragrance that feels equally natural on skin and in memory — unisex by nature, refined by intention. Rather than following trends, it asserts a timeless Mediterranean identity, where luxury is measured in light, air, and emotion.
