Eau de Parfum

A quiet morning on the piazza. Rich espresso and warm pipe tobacco greet an orange glow from the sunrise. Men working the shops unfold cold cafe chairs. Pigeons coo in awe. They yearn to smell just as you do. They envy Bell’Antonio.

“An excellent synthesis of coffee and pipe tobacco, warm but not too sweet. The note of coffee is that of roasted beans, redolent, with a hint of espresso. It is successfully paired with an understated dry pipe tobacco note. The overall impression is that of an abstract gourmand, dry and rich, but also light. Bell’Antonio stays linear throughout on my skin, with discreet but discernible sillage, and excellent duration of over eight hours.

As it is unusually low key and not bombastic, it can be worn several days in a row - a great ‘comfort scent’. Even though sillage is soft, others will notice it on you in close quarters. Bell’Antonio is defined by its gentle elegance, it does not smell synthetic at all, and is very refined. It does remind me a bit of Fumerie Turque, but is more cosy and inviting.” — freewheelingvagabond, Fragrantica
