Antonio Croce Straordinaria

Gender:

Female

Segment:

Lux perfumes

Fragrance information:

Straordinaria Antonio Croce arrived in 2017 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the east and wood families. The author of this composition is Paolo Terenzi, and that explains a lot. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, leather, and wood groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of floral, gourmet, and citrus can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Concentration — perfume extract: exactly what it needs to be.

Made in Italy, backed by a long and proud tradition. Straordinaria Antonio Croce — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

The scent of Straordinaria evolves as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Antonio Croce comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Gourmet and Leather. The framework further includes Spicy, Wood, Aromatic and Balsamic. At family level the composition sits in East and Wood.

At the opening of the pyramid you detect piquant warm top notes: Camphor, Cardamom, Lemon and Rose.

In the central layer you meet Geranium, Guaiac wood, Gurjun balsam, Leather accord, Nagarmotha and White Cedar holding a structural woody direction.

The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Gourmet without random overlap. Additional accords such as Floral, Musc, Wood and Leather enrich the profile without taking over.

Overall Straordinaria reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.

Persistence

The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage

Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Gender

This scale depicts gender focus and demonstrates how the brand positions the fragrance - as masculine, feminine or universal.

On the skin

The optimum amount of atomisation on the skin is the balance at which the fragrance reveals itself in its entirety and sounds its best.

Where is the best place to apply the fragrance?

The best places to apply a fragrance are the areas where it will reveal itself most fully and create the most vivid impression.

On clothing

The optimum amount of atomisation of the fragrance on clothes, at which it reveals the best quality of the fragrance.

Associations

Perfume associations are the emotions and images that pop into the imagination when you perceive its unique notes and accents

Effect

Fragrances can attract attention and evoke positive emotions, others can leave neutral, and others can cause negative associations and repel people.

Intensity

The intensity of a fragrance is like its ‘volume’, the degree of intensity and strength with which it is felt around you or on the surface.

Packaging quality

Perfume bottle packaging quality is about protection and aesthetic appeal, including strength, reliability, design and materials. High quality ensures the safety and security of the product, a good first impression and attractiveness
