Rialto

Tropical fruit, but for the grown and sexy. Rialto smells expensive, high quality, well blended and niche- an evening head turner! Correct Notes (Per Gritti): HEAD: Bergamot, Saffron, Mango HEART: Taïf rose, Iris, Tropical fruits BASE: Amber, Oud, White musk This opens very sweet, fresh and fruity. To me, the saffron comes out with the florals in the mid and really brings sophistication and intrigue. I don’t find this to be powdery on my skin and I can easily wear it in the heat of summer. The oud and saffron together give me the impression of soft worn-in leather. The musk maintains a clean feeling. There is a *slight* animalic nuance between the oud and musk, like warm skin, that gives Rialto a super sultry date night edge.

Bought the fragrance (I’m a man) after sampling, beautiful stuff. I can smell the fruitiness from the mango, the saffron, and the rose on the opening, dries down to a light oud and slightly musky scent. It’s definitely unique and a great tropical oud scent.. I live in Indonesia where the weather is hot all the time and I wore it in the afternoon or evening with no problem at all. Pros: - Unique tropical smooth oud scent - Has a mass appeal factor - Great longevity - Smells expensive & classy Cons - Can be too sweet if oversprayed - High retail price point - Oud is pretty light Overall, beautifully done by Gritti.

Love at first sniff. This was a blind buy for me so I can't yet soak to performance. This smells like xerjoff more than words and even more like Montale Craxy in love. This has a candy like sweetness that I'm falling in love with without being too sweet. Gives off a middle eastern vibe, the oud is light and wearable. If you like scents like Rose's Musk, More than words and Crazy in love you'll enjoy this!! Can't wait to see how it wears!

This is powerful. I oversprayed, and that was a mistake as it irritated my nose. I noticed then that there was a ton of sharp musk (think Erba Pura type musk) and oud which made it lean masculine to me. A max of 2 sprays will do. With that said, this is one of the best things I ever smelled as long as I use it lightly. The mango, oud, & saffron mix together perfectly. The air holds on to this.

The cypriol oil in this is too prominent to my nose and causes me not to reach for it often. Layered this with Ambre Superfluide by Les Eaux Primordiales today and it was magical! It toned down the cypriol oil dramatically but I'm still getting that mango-y oud but in a much warmer way.
