Lorenzo Pazzaglia Esco Pazzo Extrait
Description
Esco Pazzo, Italian for "I'm going crazy", is Lorenzo Pazzaglia's 2018 extrait de parfum built around persistence: the house describes the scent as one that eluded the perfumer for a long time before it finally came together. That tension shows in the finished fragrance: a spicy, aromatic-fresh opening of artemisia, cypress, citrus, and pepper that sharpens into a herbal heart of mate, lavender, geranium, cedar, and saffron, before settling into a smoky, leathery base of musk, amber, tobacco, and ambergris. It's a scent with a temper: playful in name, serious in execution.
Scent Character
- Sweet: 27%
- Fresh: 23%
- Woody: 19%

- Tobacco-Leather: 8%
- Spicy: 8%
Translation: a sharp, spicy-fresh opening gives way to a warmer, sweeter woody base, with a smoky tobacco-leather undertone rather than any true agarwood.
