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.

About

Cala Rossa opens with a brisk, almost bracing herbal blast of mint and eucalyptus, immediately conjuring a clean, open-air sensation. As it settles, the comforting, slightly camphoraceous tones of lavender emerge, softened by the delicate, honeyed sweetness of immortelle. A green, slightly spicy fennel note weaves through, grounding the composition with an earthy Mediterranean scrub vibe, rounded off by the subtle, resinous warmth of labdanum. It's a scent that feels both ancient and remarkably modern.
