A quiet cove
I wouldn’t have guessed a single note of this just by smelling. Pineapple? Orange? Flowers? Are you kidding me? This cannot be true. It’s definitely a synergy – a picture you cannot pick apart to basic colors.
I perceive it as a unisex summery fragrance, it has something about it that smells like salty sea breeze with a touch of iodine and dry towels bleached in the sun, with tiny pieces of seaweed stuck in the pile. It communicates relaxed feeling and invites you to listen to your body: enjoy smells, sounds, and physical sensations while being lazy like a cat on a window sill. At the same time, it has a fresh and invigorating side. Yes, this is a beach.
Apparently, “Gumin” is a diminutive from Guglielmo – the name of the house’s founding father to whom the scent is dedicated, but maybe also a word play on “gamine,” so it’s either a calm and caring masculinity or cheeky and confident femininity – take your pick. Yet I like to think that it’s a name of some mythical youth who lives in the cave by the sea, dives for pearls, and collects seashells.
