Maison Gabriella Chieffo Variazione di Ragù is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Luca Maffei. Variazione di Ragù opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Pepper, Cardamom, Clove, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Musk, and Leather. Maison Gabriella Chieffo's Variazione di Ragù carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you're into unapologetically bold spice, you might just find your new obsession, otherwise, it's a bit of a chaotic spice rack.

Given its strong sillage and heady spice-leather profile, it's too much for an office setting but makes a bold statement on a date night. Its intensity means it's not well suited for casual daytime wear or anything physical.

About

Variazione di Ragù opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and orange, quickly giving way to an intense, multifaceted heart of fresh and warm spices. Picture a market stall overflowing with pink pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, clove, and a generous kick of black pepper. The dry-down settles into a rich, earthy leather, underscored by smoky cypriol and a hint of vanilla sweetness, all grounded by a prominent cumin note that adds an animalic depth.
