L'Erbolario Ginepro Nero is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Ginepro Nero opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Grapefruit, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Cedar, Pink Pepper, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Benzoin. L'Erbolario's Ginepro Nero carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a fresh, woody aromatic that frequently draws comparisons to Terre d'Hermes, though it certainly holds its own. It's a fantastic everyday scent that's often described as a 'guilty pleasure' due to its quality-for-price ratio and undeniable appeal.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange

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

Imagine a brisk walk through a juniper forest, the air crisp with bitter orange and grapefruit. This scent opens with a zesty, slightly sweet citrus burst, quickly leading into a heart of aromatic juniper berries and dry cedar. A touch of pink pepper adds a modern edge. The journey settles into an earthy, mossy base of vetiver and patchouli, softened by a hint of benzoin, creating a sophisticated and enduring woody experience.
