Pheromones

Pheromones from the Italian house Reinvented, composed by Cristian Calabro and released in 2023, is a spicy floral with a resinous, musky base. People describe it as spicy and floral in equal measure; about two thirds also find it woody or resinous, and a third musky or citrusy.

Bergamot gives the opening a bright, slightly bitter lift, and pink pepper, cardamom and saffron follow with a warm, aromatic, slightly leathery spice. The heart pairs rose, full and slightly sweet, with jasmine, warm and rich, and orris root, which adds a cool, powdery softness. Elemi brings a fresh, lemony-peppery resin, and labdanum a rich, leathery amber. Sandalwood and vetiver give the base creamy and rooty woods, cypriol a smoky, earthy depth, vanilla a hint of sweetness, and musk a warm, skin-like finish.

Pheromones is worn by anyone. Its warm, spiced floral character suits autumn and winter and evenings, and it should appeal to someone who likes rose and saffron with resin and musk behind them.
