Gritti · 2024 · EDP
Monica
Floral
Fifteen years ago, Luca Gritti created a special fragrance for Monica, his lifelong partner, radiant muse, and the force that inspires him every day. An intimate gesture, never meant for release – until now. Monica’s peonies soak up the sun and breeze, holding secrets for two within their petals. Touched by the spring breath, they gently kiss the peachy cheeks, murmuring romantic words to the jasmine, blending with its honeyed and creamy notes. Hints of lychee add a fruity freshness to the mix and steer it toward a light woods and soft white musk base.
