Spirito Fiorentino
by Tiziana Terenzi
Spirito Fiorentino presents a bold, unisex fragrance that leans heavily into the Baccarat Rouge 540 DNA while offering a denser, more masculine reinterpretation. The opening features a boldly medicinal, rubbery, and slightly acrid tone reminiscent of a dental office or fresh bandages, driven by saffron, birchwood, and earthy leathery accords. This initial phase is intense and polarizing—some find it confrontational or unpleasant, while others appreciate the layered complexity and raw power. After about 30 minutes, the fragrance evolves into a smoother, richer profile where saffron softens into a warm, sugared ambergris base, enhanced by subtle notes of leather, sandalwood, and oakmoss. The scent remains deep and aromatic, with a significant drydown that brings forward a creamy, spicy, and slightly animalic sophistication. It is highly long-lasting and projects with moderate to strong sillage, making it ideal for evening wear and winter months, though some find the intensity overwhelming in crowded spaces.
