Gritti · 2019 · EDP
19-68
Aromatic
Cheerful spontaneity. Italian spirit. Unique style. A sparkling mix of elements. Fantasy. Tradition and innovation. Origins and future. Olfactory “self-portrait”, entitled with the perfumer’s birth date. The classic cologne structure is enhanced with pink pepper shades and the astringency of black currant. The nuances of grapefruit and tonka beans give the fragrance an additional dynamism, essential for Luca Gritti himself.
