BRIONI ECLAT

FRAGRANCE FAMILY: Amber, Citrus

TOP NOTES: Grapefruit, Olibanum, Pink Pepper

HEART NOTES: Patchouli, Rose

BASE NOTES: Musk, Ambroxan, Sandalwood

Founded in Rome in 1945, Brioni established a reputation as the sartorial destination for the discerning Italian gentleman. The brand still make exquisite suiting and casual menswear, but their fragrances are also well worth investigation. Rather like a fine two-piece Brioni suit, Eclat is elegant, beautifully assembled and bound to elicit admiring glances.

The opening is designed to evoke the dazzling morning light – a sharp bite of juicy grapefruit blended with cool pink pepper, while frankincense brings its subtle, citrusy, resinous facets. A heart of Turkish rose and patchouli adds finesse and the dry-down combines creamy sandalwood with musk and the amber, woody, skin-like tones of ambroxan. A luminous, well-proportioned fragrance that will appeal to any sharp-dressed man.
