Bilbao

The Signature of Bilbao
Bergamot, pink pepper and lavender open bright and uplifting. Coffee, oak and patchouli give the heart a warm, dry depth with a green nuance. Ambrettolide, ambrox, labdanum, liatrix and Laotian oud make the base modern and lasting, with a hint of metal.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Bilbao is one of the most original scents of the house. Lavender and coffee seem an odd pairing, but together they smell like an espresso on a terrace after rain. What remains is a dry, woody oud that feels very modern. October and November are its months, at the office and out and about. For those seeking something bold that resembles nothing else.
