A slice of Milan in a feast that lasts
Panettone comes from Milano Fragranze, a niche fragrance house dedicated to capturing the essence of Milan through olfactory storytelling. This particular creation was developed by the same perfumer who created Gris Charnel for BDK...
The star of the show here is bitter orange, which confidently persists throughout all stages of the fragrance. It’s accompanied by a subtle ginger and a standout buckwheat note, giving the composition a textured, cozy edge. Vanilla makes an appearance too - not cloying or overly sweet, but more like by adding depth without stealing the spotlight.
The resulting combination is a remarkably realistic portrayal of a freshly baked high-end panettone from a pasticceria. And as an Italian who's lived in Milan and indulged in plenty of authentic panettone, I can confirm: they’ve nailed it.
I first tried Panettone a few months ago when I received a sample. Even with just one spray on my hand, the scent lingered for nearly the entire day. That performance (and the scent) convinced me it was worth a full bottle. Yesterday, I finally got it, and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.
This morning, I sprayed it at 7:30 AM, and 12 hours later, it was still projecting at arm's length. For a gourmand fragrance, good projection is not uncommon, but Panettone will keep radiating for hours.
Milano Fragranze doesn’t just excel in scent but in presentation too. The blu Savoia (a colour associated with Milan) bottle is elegant, with a magnetic cap and a pressurized sprayer that delivers an even mist. For a niche fragrance, the pricing is reasonable, making this a good value for its quality.
Panettone is a perfectly unisex gourmand that manages to be both unique and versatile. If you’re a fan of edible fragrances or just want something that doesn’t smell like everything else out there, this one deserves your attention.
10/10 – Perfetto!
