๐ฒ The Inspiration: The Pine Grove
Behind the beach, the pine forest begins. Chinotto Cypress Forest mixes the citrus groves with the scent of pine needles and resin. It is woody, green, and deeply masculine.
๐งช The Olfactory Architecture: Green Wood
Chinotto provides the spark, but the main body is Cypress and Pine. It is resinous and sticky. Hints of Juniper and Cardamom add spice. The base is dry Cedarwood and Oakmoss.
๐ฟ Raw Material Sourcing: The Forest
-
Cypress Oil: A classic Mediterranean tree with a dry, amber-like scent.

๐ญ From the Perfumer's Diary
"This smells like a hike in Tuscany. The heat of the sun on the pine needles, the distant smell of the sea. It's rugged and beautiful."
