Maria Candida Gentile Cinabre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Maria Candida Gentile. Cinabre opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Davana and Rose, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Benzoin, and Opoponax. Maria Candida Gentile's Cinabre carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly divisive rose; some find it a masterful, deep, spicy floral, others can't get past a perceived 'old lady' vibe or even an 'ashtray phase'. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's a stunner.

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.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for evenings out and dates, where its complex character can be appreciated. While some find it too potent for the office, a light application could work; it's generally too rich for casual or sporty wear.

About

Cinabre opens with an invigorating, almost sharp burst of pink and black pepper, electrified by fiery ginger. This spicy prelude soon yields to the star of the show: a rich, dark rose, often described as velvety and deep. As it settles, a warm, resinous base of opoponax and benzoin emerges, softened by a touch of vanilla, creating a powdery and sophisticated drydown that lingers beautifully.
