Macrame
Gritti Macrame Eau de Parfum 100ml is the quiet one, a fragrance built to be worn rather than discussed.
It opens on bergamot, bitter and green, with pear beside it giving a cool juicy sweetness and apple blossom adding a light, slightly green floral freshness. None of it is loud. The whole top is designed to be easy.
The heart keeps that tone. Rose is soft and clean rather than jammy, and redcurrant adds a tart red fruit sparkle that keeps the flower from settling into anything formal. It is a bright middle and a short one.
Underneath, musk does most of the work, soft and skin like, with amber providing a gentle resinous warmth and patchouli adding just enough earth to stop the composition floating away. Eight materials, arranged for comfort.
That makes it a genuinely useful fragrance rather than an exciting one, and those are harder to find. At eau de parfum strength it lasts a working day while staying within a polite radius, which means it can be worn in close company without anyone having an opinion about it. The composition is also forgiving of a heavy hand, which cannot be said of much at this strength. An extra spray makes it a little warmer rather than a problem for the people around you. Compositions built for comfort are often dismissed, usually by people who do not have to sit next to anybody.
It leans feminine, suits spring and daytime, and works for offices, travel and ordinary weeks. Luca Gritti composed it. It is a sensible choice for a first bottle from the house.
Gritti is a small Italian house run by the family whose name it carries, with Luca Gritti composing every range himself since he took the business on in the early 2000s.
