Strictly Private

Baldessarini Strictly Private is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Strictly Private opens with Basil, Juniper, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Vetiver, Resin, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Amber, and Vanilla. Baldessarini's Strictly Private carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent - either you'll be swimming in its classy, creamy vanilla-rose embrace and wondering why it's not niche, or you'll be reaching for the nearest shower gel. Either way, it's certainly not 'strictly private' in its impact.

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile, but the warm, sweet, and sensual amber-vanilla-rose profile leans more towards evening and intimate settings. While some find it suitable for work, its richness means it's best reserved for formal events or date nights where its seductive qualities can truly shine.

About

Opens with a lively pop of pink pepper and fresh bergamot, given an aromatic edge by basil and juniper. This soon melts into a heart of rich rose, deepened by earthy vetiver and patchouli, with a resinous warmth building. The drydown is a luxurious, sweet affair of creamy vanilla and warm amber, underpinned by smooth cedar, creating a sophisticated and sensual aura.
