Panettone

Panettone, released by Milano Fragranze in 2021 and composed by Mathilde Bijaoui, is a citrus gourmand inspired by the Italian festive cake. Citrus leads, with spice and sweetness at about half that strength.

The opening is zesty and warm: mandarin orange and bitter orange give a candied-peel brightness, ginger a lively spice, davana a boozy, fruity note and carrot seeds an earthy, slightly powdery undertone. The heart is boozy and golden, with rum adding a sweet, spirited warmth, immortelle a honeyed, slightly curry-like note and marigold a bitter herbal edge. The base is vanilla and buckwheat, which bring a creamy sweetness and a toasted, bready, cereal-like warmth, like the cake itself.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, some long lasting, and a mostly moderate sillage. It is voted for winter and autumn and is worn equally by day and night. It suits the festive season, cosy gatherings and cold days, and it is worn by anyone who likes candied citrus and baked sweetness.
