Chantilly

Chantilly is the flagship reference of Gritti's White Collection.

— The opening is a basket of summer fruits: strawberry, melon and bergamot. Melon is rare in modern perfumery — watery and sweet, it gives an impression of juicy freshness straight away.

— The heart is milky: apple, coconut and blackcurrant flower. The coconut is not sun cream: it is a fresh, milky coconut that thickens the fruit without weighing it down.

— The base is soft and enveloping: vanilla, powdery notes and musk.

A spring and summer fragrance, for daytime, feminine and very easy to love. It is the kind of fragrance you notice on someone else and ask the name of.

A word about the house: Gritti Venezia is an Italian house, and the whole White Collection is composed by Luca Gritti, the founder himself — not by a subcontractor.

Worth knowing: it is very close to Tutù Blanc from the same collection, which shares the coconut, the apple, the blackcurrant and the vanilla. They are two variations on one idea, not two discoveries. Three sprays.

— The opening is unexpected: lime, bergamot and candy floss. The lime cuts through, the candy floss shows the colours — this will be sweet, and it is owned from the very first second.

— The heart is the subject: jasmine, rose jam and powdery notes. “Rose jam” is the accord of cooked, sweetened rose you find in Turkish delight and Middle Eastern pastries.

— The base is classic: vanilla, musk and amber.

An autumn and winter fragrance, for the evening, feminine and very gourmand.

Composed by Luca Gritti, released in 2018. Two sprays.

Neroli Extreme is the most sunlit of the Grittis, and the most frankly unisex.

— The opening is dazzling: orange blossom, citrus and marine notes. Neroli — the flower of the bitter orange tree — is one of the most expensive materials in natural perfumery: it takes a tonne of flowers for a kilo of essence. Here it is treated fresh and green, not candied.

— The heart is vegetal: musk, galbanum and woods. Galbanum is an extremely green resin that smells of cut stem and bud — it is what keeps the orange blossom from turning sweet, and it is what makes this fragrance nervy rather than well behaved.

— The base is soft: amber, vetiver and vanilla.

A spring and summer fragrance, for daytime, genuinely unisex — neither masculine nor feminine, which is rare and deliberate.

It belongs to the I Turchesi collection, different from the White Collection, and it is the oldest Gritti in the selection: released in 2017. Three sprays.
