Fragrance information:
Sugar Daddy — an energetic fougère fragrance
Antonio Maretti Sugar Daddy is a men's eau de parfum from the Prestige collection.
This expressive fougère fragrance opens with citrus and spice, develops into a cool aromatic heart, and settles on a rich woody-amber base.
This release is created for those who enjoy distinctive compositions with character and are not afraid to make a statement.
The Antonio Maretti brand represents a new wave of independent Italian perfumery.
Its aesthetic is built around bold combinations, vivid presentation, and the desire to turn fragrance into a personal experience. Sugar Daddy embodies this approach beautifully: it smells confident, dynamic, and contemporary.
The exact release date of the fragrance is not specified in the available data.
Character and development
In the first few minutes, Sugar Daddy comes across as fresh and sparkling: citrus energy quickly blends with the spicy facet of cardamom.
Then the composition becomes cooler and greener, revealing the aromatic purity of lavender and mint, the light airiness of lotus, and the juicy nuance of grapefruit.
As it develops, the freshness softens and gives way to a warm amber-woody base.
Sandalwood adds creamy smoothness, vetiver brings dry earthy austerity, while bergamot maintains transparency and keeps the base from becoming overly heavy.
The result is a contrasting fragrance that is simultaneously invigorating, composed, and sensual.
Notes, concentration, and sillage
The top notes are cardamom and blood orange. The heart features grapefruit, lavender, lotus, and mint, while the base combines amber, bergamot, sandalwood, and vetiver.
Olfactively, the fragrance brings together amber, aromatic, citrus, floral, green, spicy, and woody facets.
Sugar Daddy comes in an eau de parfum concentration and has very strong sillage.
It is therefore especially well suited to those who value a noticeable presence and enjoy a fragrance that lingers in the air after they have left.
No precise dosage recommendations for skin or clothing are provided; given its high projection, it is wise to start with a small number of sprays and adjust the intensity according to the weather and occasion.
The perfumer and when to wear it
The fragrance was created by Christian Calabrò.
His work with contrasting fresh citrus, green nuances, spices, and a warm woody base makes Sugar Daddy more versatile than a classic heavy amber fragrance.
It works well in the evening, for a date, at a party, or during the cooler season, when its rich sillage unfolds to especially striking effect.
The fragrance is marketed as masculine, but its fresh citrus-aromatic nuances may also appeal to those who choose perfumes beyond strict gender boundaries.
Sugar Daddy is worth trying for fans of expressive fougères, where clean freshness gradually transitions into a warm, confident, and subtly seductive scent.
Similar fragrances
For further exploration of a similar mood, consider The Spirit of Dubai Bahar, Pal Zileri Pal Zileri, and Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme (2010).
They may also appeal to lovers of fresh citrus accords, aromatic greenery, and a refined woody base. Sugar Daddy, however, stands out for its particularly powerful sillage and pronounced amber finish.
