Etro New Tradition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2002. New Tradition opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Etro's New Tradition carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

New Tradition is a mixed bag for sure. Some find it a beautifully blended classic, while others can't get past its retro, even dated, vibe. If you like your scents with a touch of old-school spice and florals, you'll probably love it; otherwise, steer clear.

About

Opens with a bright, clean burst of lavender and citrus, quickly ushering in a heart of potent, warm spices and rich florals. Carnation and clove are prominent, alongside a creamy rose, iris, and ylang-ylang. As it settles, an earthy patchouli and vetiver emerge, softened by a clean musk, creating a scent that feels both traditional and subtly intriguing. It's a journey from vibrant freshness to a warm, classic spicy-floral base with woody undertones.
