Gritti Duchessa Extrait

Description

Gritti Duchessa Extrait evokes a powerful woman travelling the spice road: ripe black cherry and saffron blossom over a heart of cocoa and clove, finished with almond, brown sugar, and iris. Launched in 2020, it's a fruity-gourmand with real spice underneath, built to feel warm and intoxicating rather than sweet and simple.

Scent Character

Sweet: 33%: brown sugar and almond give the base its marzipan-like warmth.
Floral: 25%: jasmine and white blossoms soften the fruit.
Fresh: 17%: bitter orange and blood orange zest brighten the opening.
Spicy: 17%: saffron and clove add real bite to the heart.
Woody: 8%: iris rounds out the base.
Translation: a spiced fruity-gourmand that opens tart and citrusy before settling into a warm, marzipan-and-spice dry-down.

Fragrance Pyramid

Top: Black Cherry, Marzipan, Bitter Orange, Blood Orange Zest, Saffron Blossom
Heart: Jasmine, Clove, Cocoa, White Blossoms
Base: Almond, Brown Sugar, Iris

Performance

Strong performance across the board: expect 7+ hours of longevity with sillage that projects noticeably for the first few hours before settling into a rich, warm skin scent.

Best Occasions & Season

Built for fall and winter evenings. The spice and cocoa want cooler weather to really shine, and the overall richness makes this a night-out fragrance rather than a daytime one.
