Roger Pellegrino

France Born 0 Cacharel

Based on his credited work, Pellegrino often balanced complex florals and woods with sharp, vivid top notes. In Anais Anais he introduced a bright blackcurrant facet on a white-floral and woody base, while masculine creations like One Man Show and Armani Eau pour Homme emphasize aromatic-citrus freshness over structured woods and moss, giving his fragrances a clear, assertive yet refined character.
