Scentinela The Escential is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Gaël Montero.

This one's a proper all-rounder and a solid choice for everyday wear. Don't expect fireworks, but it's reliably pleasant, if a touch too polite for some.

About

The Escential opens with a burst of zesty mandarin and sea air, lifted by a subtle hint of pink pepper that keeps things interesting. It quickly settles into a floral heart dominated by elegant rose and creamy gardenia, with a touch of peony adding a fresh, dewy sweetness. The base grounds it all with warm amber, earthy patchouli, and a unique, slightly green fig tree note, rounded out by smooth tonka and a clean musk. It's a nicely balanced blend, leaning fresh and floral throughout.
