Gritti Venetia – Damascus

The next stop in the olfactory diary is Damascus: one of the most important cities of the Ottoman Empire, which appears repeatedly in Alvise Gritti's travel notes. Damascus smells of spices, of the color of the countless markets, of chaos, of passion. An unexpected meeting, love at first sight. He, she, the scents of opium in the air. Heat.

Luca Gritti revives the secrets of the past with a fiery and intoxicating fragrance, built on the sweet accord of Sicilian orange and the notes of cinnamon, myrrh and neroli, supported by the depth of patchouli.

MAIN ACCORDS: Orange from Sicily, myrrh from Ethiopia, amber.
