At its best in Fall and Spring, a shade more by day than night.
Antiqua by Antiqua Firenze is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Antiqua was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Enzo Galardi. Top notes are Basil, Pepper, Nutmeg, Bergamot and Juniper Berries; middle notes are Osmanthus, Black Pepper, Jasmine, Cedar, Lavender and Rose; base notes are Amber, Tobacco, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Musk and Thyme. This fragrance embodies the very essence of the brand’s philosophy, from which it proudly takes its name. Timeless and free from any defined era, it draws from ancient perfumery traditions and embarks on an inspired, artistic journey. Pepper, the undisputed king of spices, leads the composition, blending its bold character with the green sharpness of Basil, while lively Lemon adds a sparkling, citrusy vivacity. At the heart, a bouquet of Osmanthus and Jasmine blooms, subtly punctuated by peppercorns, weaving intoxicating accords with fleeting, animalic whispers. A floral sweetness emerges, tinged with notes of apricot, sultry honey, and refined spicy nuances. The dry down reveals fervent amber notes and the dry, leathery touch of Tobacco Leaves, which soften into a delicate suede as Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood release their sensual, voluptuous warmth.
