About

Penthouse Larvotto kicks off with a sharp botanical hit from violet leaf and coriander, brightened by bergamot. The heart introduces a spicy rose, adding a bit of edge before settling into a warm, creamy dry-down. Dominant patchouli anchors a sweet, amber, and vanilla base, creating a rich, opulent aroma with a distinct oriental leaning.
