Gritti · 2018 · EDP
Adèle
Oriental
Sublime elegance. Harmony. The silk of petals brushing against skin. The delight of contrasts. Sensual expression. Caress. Shadows of intoxicating flowers. Light. Passion. New splendor. Inspired by Gustav Klimt’s iconic “The Lady in Gold” portrait, Adèle reinterprets the smell of osmanthus petals. Golden and intoxicating, it creates a creamy exotic bouquet enriched with soft, milky shades of white flowers and narcissus. The first White Collection’s perfume to explore the enveloping feel of rich florals.
