Giardini di Toscana Christos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Silvia Martinelli. Christos opens with Amber Xtreme, Bergamot, and Incense, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Pink Pepper, and Vanilla. Giardini di Toscana's Christos carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast of an amber-incense, not for the faint of heart. If you want to smell like an ancient church filled with peppery smoke, or a 'rich orthodox person', then Christos might be your spiritual guide. Otherwise, probably steer clear.

Given its beast mode longevity and sillage, Christos is far too overpowering for an office setting. It's best suited for formal evening events or cold-weather dates where its unique intensity can be appreciated rather than overwhelming.

About

Christos opens with a potent blast of pink pepper and incense, quickly joined by the modern punch of Amber Xtreme, which some find quite synthetic. A dark rose and earthy patchouli emerge, adding depth to the rich, warm amber, balsamic labdanum, and benzoin. The drydown settles into a comforting, though still intense, blend of vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and lingering smoky facets, with that pepper note stubbornly staying put.
