Mendittorosa Nettuno is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Amélie Bourgeois. Nettuno opens with Cyclamen, Pink Pepper, Nutmeg, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Carrot Seeds, Leather, Vetiver, and Iris. Mendittorosa's Nettuno carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Nettuno is a polarising, ethereal iris-leather with a unique, 'spacey' quality. Some find it a masterpiece, others a pricey miss. Definitely not a blind buy - sample it first to see which side of the fence you fall on.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and refined character make it suitable for office wear, especially given its 'inoffensive' and 'clean' aspects. The sophisticated iris-leather is elegant enough for formal events, but its slightly 'cold' and 'distant' nature means it's not ideal for a romantic date.

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

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

Nettuno opens with a vibrant, spicy burst of pink pepper and ginger, given an unusual floral-green lift by cyclamen. The heart unfolds into a delicate, airy rose, subtly powdered by iris, before settling into a sophisticated base of soft leather, earthy vetiver, and a touch of boozy warmth from rum. Clean musk and carrot seed add a unique, slightly sweet and powdery nuance throughout.
