Variazione di Ragù

by Luca Maffei

Maison Gabriella Chieffo Variazione di Ragù is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Luca Maffei. Variazione di Ragù opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Orange, settles into a heart of Pepper, Elemi, Saffron, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, Cashmere Wood, and Musk. 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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

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.
