Vita Nova

Vita Nova, released by Farmacia SS. Annunziata in 2021, is led by spice, with a musky layer and smaller gourmand, woody, resinous and amber touches.

The name means new life, and the scent has a sharp, energising character. Juniper brings a crisp, gin-like greenness, and black pepper, pepper and pink pepper a dry, tingling heat. Cloves and caraway add warm, slightly medicinal and aniseed-like spice, and elemi a peppery, lemony resin. As the spice settles, cedar gives a dry, pencil-shaving woodiness, vanilla a soft sweetness, and white musk and musk a clean, smooth finish.

The profile suggests autumn and spring, daytime and the office, as well as cooler evenings when a crisp, spiced scent fits. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes peppery, aromatic spice with a clean musky base, and who prefers dry, bright warmth over heavy sweetness or smoke.
