17 Rosso Extrait de Parfum 100 ml

17 Rosso

“17 Rosso” – the explanation for this mysterious combination of number and colour lies in Florence´s system of postal adress: red – “rosso” – house numbers signify commercial locations as opposed to private residences. If you want to pay Roberto Ugolini´s workshop, Via dei Michelozzi 17, a personal visit you´ll need to say “17 rosso” to the driver – otherwise you could easily end up somewhere completely different. Once you’ve mastered this charming Florentine hurdle, you’ll find yourself in front of the inconspicuous doors of a shoemaker between an osteria and a café. The world of the traditional craft that presents itself to you here is as fascinating as the door is simple. The finest materials and artistic ingenuity are paired together by a passion for the exceptional. Roberto Ugolini stands for uncompromising quality and an extravagant Italian style, second to none. Cherished worldwide, the master has become one of the greatest bespoke shoemakers of his generation.

17 Rosso  – the Scent
17 ROSSO embodies a passion for extraordinary craftsmanship like no other fragrance. To emphasise this, 17 Rosso also has an exceptionally high aromatic oil concentration of up to 30%, making it an extrait de parfum.

As with all of the scents in the collection, the concept was originally developed by Herbert Stricker; realisation in this case lay with perfumers Christian Calabrò and Maurizio Cerizza.

Your expectation of an impressive scent is already heightened by the head notes: fruity white peach stands out from among them, surrounded by leathery-seeming saffron, cool mint and green raspberry leaves. Added to that is fruity cananga oil from the tropical plant cananga odorata, also known as ylang-ylang. The heart reveals itself through rich damask rose, fruity and spicy pink pepper as well as notes of peony, all of which have been rounded off with peppery nasturtium. Balsamic styrax resin, sweetly floral ambrette seeds and woody amyris form the base together with vetiver and cedar wood.

17 ROSSO is a truly unisex scent. The vial has been lacquered in a stimulating metallic red, matching this wonderful house number in Florence.
