Brunello Cucinelli Ricordo
Ricordo is a 2025 fragrance by Brunello Cucinelli, an Italian brand that combines understated luxury, meticulous attention to quality and an emotional approach to everyday rituals.
The fragrance is released in a perfume concentration, or extrait, which gives its scent an especially rich and deep character.
The release belongs to the Incanti Poetici collection — “poetic enchantments”, where perfume compositions express moods through distinctive materials and contrasting combinations.
Ricordo continues this concept, offering not just a fragrance but a sensual image that gradually changes on the skin and leaves a memorable impression.
The fragrance’s character and scent profile
Ricordo is positioned as a unisex fragrance: it feels equally natural on women and men, adapting to the skin’s temperature and each wearer’s individual way of wearing fragrance.
Its character combines spicy freshness, woody density, soft florality and a subtle gourmand sweetness.
The composition opens with expressive coriander, which gives the top notes a sparkling spiciness and a light green dryness.
It then becomes rounder: coconut softens the woody accord, sambac jasmine adds a creamy white-floral nuance, while Akigalawood emphasizes the fragrance’s modern, textured character.
In the base, Ricordo becomes warmer and deeper.
Cashmeran creates a soft musky-woody sensation, cedar and patchouli form a dry framework, while vanilla adds a velvety gourmand touch to the composition.
As a result, the fragrance feels multifaceted: it is not limited to sweetness or woodiness, but balances a spicy opening, a creamy heart and a warm trail.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place in the brand’s style
Ricordo was created by perfumer Jordi Fernández. His work emphasizes the idea of a modern unisex fragrance in which distinctive materials are brought together in a cohesive, elegant and instantly recognizable composition.
For Brunello Cucinelli, this release is important as a continuation of the brand’s fragrance line and the Incanti Poetici collection.
Ricordo reflects the brand’s signature affinity for understated luxury: it is expressive without trying to be loud, unfolding gradually and leaving an impression of refinement, warmth and rich texture.
Longevity and wearing recommendations
Ricordo is said to have very strong sillage, making it suitable for those who enjoy a noticeable and long-lasting fragrance.
The extrait is especially fitting for cool weather, evenings, formal occasions and situations in which you want to emphasize your individuality.
Specific recommendations for applying this release to skin and clothing have not been provided.
Given its high concentration and very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal number of sprays, applying the fragrance to pulse points and adding more gradually if needed.
The composition may last longer on fabric, so it is worth considering the material and the desired intensity before applying it.
