V-40 | Inspired by Born In Roma Uomo

Salt, sage and vetiver. Inspired by Born In Roma Uomo.

A mineral, lightly salty opening with violet leaf adding a green, almost metallic sharpness. In the heart, sage and ginger make it spicy and warm. The base is dry wood with vetiver. Modern and clean without becoming sporty.

How it develops

Mineral notes and salt open cool and stony — like a rock by the sea — with violet leaf drawing a green, faintly metallic, cucumber-like sharpness through them. The heart brings warmth without sweetness: sage, herbal and hay-like, and ginger, lightly spicy, together the bridge from cool to warm. The base is dry and well-groomed: wood notes and vetiver, earthy and green, holding the minerality of the opening to the end. Stone, herb, wood — no sugar in the whole fragrance.

Who it's for, and when

Four seasons, from the office to the evening. For anyone who wants to smell fresh without citrus or sweetness. Looking for fresh and modern with pepper and more presence, see S-50. Want marine and light instead of mineral and dry, A-20 is the summery neighbour.

How to wear it

Two to three sprays on neck and wrists, on moisturised skin. Don't rub. Vetiver loves fabric — one spray on a shirt lasts until evening.
