Verde Respiro

Verde Respiro is not just a perfume; it is a sensorial experience that seems to want to stop time. Launched in 2026, it is included in the Giardini Di Toscana catalog as a tribute to the wild but orderly nature of the Mediterranean scrub, managing to balance botanical freshness and an almost mystical depth. The fragrance opens with a lively contrast. The Blackberry is not the caramelized one from the pastry shop, but a fruit picked unripe, sour and juicy, made even more sparkling by the Bergamot. It is a beginning that "shakes" the senses, like a gust of fresh wind in the early morning. The heart is the true manifesto of the Aromatic Woody genus: Clary Sage: Gives a herbaceous and slightly bitter facet. Lavender: Cleans the composition, giving a feeling of cleanliness and timeless elegance. The Fund: An Enveloping Land What makes Verde Respiro memorable is its evolution. As the top notes fade, a complex, layered base emerges. Oakmoss and Patchouli create an earthy and moist carpet, almost like the undergrowth after the rain. However, the magic happens thanks to Ambergris and Iris, which give a powdery and mineral texture, while a very light touch of Vanilla rounds the edges without ever becoming sweet. Silvia Martinelli has created an intellectual fragrance. It is a perfume that speaks of freedom and a return to the origins. If you love fragrances that smell of trampled grass, dew and wet earth, but don't want to give up a touch of modern refinement, Verde Respiro is a must-buy. In short: It is the ideal perfume for those who want to "wear nature" without appearing banal. A perfect balance between the harshness of the forest and the softness of the resin.

This scent is like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. Truly. I do not have anything like this in my collection, and that is saying a lot because my collection is not small. It is almost indescribable, but I will try. The clary sage, lavender, bergamot, and vanilla come together in a way that feels both unexpected and seamless. It smells clean and refreshing, yet at the same time somehow scrumptious, beautiful, and completely captivating. There is an airy brightness to it, but also a softness that pulls you in and keeps you there. I just adore this scent. I recently purchased Oro e Miele thinking that would be the star of the show. And while I do love the honey note in that one, this completely stole the spotlight. This is, in my opinion, their masterpiece. It is that good. Unbelievable, honestly. And yes... a full bottle is absolutely in my future. Update: I paired this with Oro e Miele. 5 people either stopped me to let me know how good I smelled or wanted to know what I was wearing. My mother is absolutely sick of my perfume obsession, but she LOVED this pairing. 10000/10

What is this sorcery? :)))) As a hardcore GdT fan, I had to order the 3 new releases and based on notes alone, I expected to like/ be ok with this one. But this is not the type of perfume you just "like". This is something I have personally never smelt before in my entire life!!! The scent is hard to describe. It is definitely green, but not like a damp forest (no Margiela vibes), more like an apothecary filled with dried leaves, spices and aromatic concoctions, all wrapped in a cozy, warm, moderately sweet vanilla layer. The sage is fantastic, potent and complex. The oakmoss is present, but not overwhelming, just complimenting the entire potion and making it more multi-faceted, more sophisticated. There is a slight medicinal note, but somehow it manages to be powdery and intriguing, not harsh, not synthetic, just very unexpected. This is a UNIQUE perfume, the kind that stops both women and men and make them ask what on earth are you wearing. For me it definitely goes straight to my top 5 <3

Bought a sample based purely on the notes but WOW I agree with previous poster, this is like nothing in my collection! Between myself & OH we must have 50-60 FB plus testers & decants but nothing like this! Verde is apt as the initial hit is very green & then alchemy happens- Fresh sweet fruity citrus but it's a subtle sweetness not sickly in the slightest. We already have Celeste, which lasts all day & a sillage that fills a room. Had planned on Bianco Latte but just never got around to it & the same with Almafolia but my OH will take a turn with this tomorrow & I can definitely see a FB in the near future- it's that good.

In my opinion, Giardini's new collection is really bold. I've tried all 3 new scents and they are all very special. Verde Respiro is basically a more resinous, aromatic, woody scent. The blackberry really makes it crazy and is needed. There is also a hint of menthol in the scent, but that may just be my nose. Overall, it is a very natural scent, a mix of special notes and a quality appearance! :)
