Gritti Monica is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Luca Gritti. Monica opens with Fruity Notes, Peony, Apricot, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Musk, Sandalwood, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Vanilla. Gritti's Monica carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a divisive floral-fruity scent. Some call it an ethereal, feminine dream, others find the opening harsh and a bit 'designer' for its price. If you can get past the initial litchi blast, it might just be the delicate yet powerful peony you've been searching for.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Monica opens with a vibrant, almost overpowering burst of litchi and juicy apricot, quickly joined by a prominent, sweet peony that dominates the fresh floral heart. As it settles, creamy sandalwood and a soft, clean musk emerge, grounding the fruity lightness. The dry-down reveals a subtle warmth from amber and woody notes, with a whisper of vanilla, settling into a gentle, lasting embrace.
