Benessere Fico e Glicine — a fragrance with an Italian character
Collistar Benessere Fico e Glicine is a unisex fragrance released in 2024 as an eau de toilette.
The composition combines juicy fig, spicy facets of coriander and pink pepper, the freshness of bitter orange, the floral softness of wisteria, and a distinctive woody base.
The fragrance was created in the aesthetic of Collistar, an Italian brand that combines a sense of luxury with a scientific approach to beauty.
The house's fragrance line officially appeared in 2008, while the brand's own history dates back to the 1960s.
Notes and olfactory profile
Benessere Fico e Glicine features bitter orange, coriander, fig, precious woods, pink pepper, and wisteria, also known as glicine.
The top, middle, and base notes are not listed separately, so the fragrance is best understood as a cohesive, multi-layered composition.
The opening centers on the citrusy bitterness of bitter orange and the sparkling spiciness of pink pepper.
Green-spicy coriander, soft fruity fig, and an airy floral nuance of wisteria then join the composition.
Precious woods add depth and help the composition retain its composed, elegant character.
Character and sillage
Benessere Fico e Glicine belongs to the fougère and spicy fragrance families, while its notes also reveal citrus, floral, fruity, woody, and spicy facets.
This combination makes the perfume distinctive and full-bodied: its fruity softness is balanced by freshness, pepper, and a dry woody quality.
According to the fragrance listing, its sillage is rated as very strong.
It will therefore appeal to those who enjoy a pronounced perfume presence and want their fragrance to remain noticeable in the air.
Its unisex positioning allows it to be experienced beyond strict gender boundaries: on one person, fig and wisteria may stand out more clearly; on another, the citrus-spicy and woody facets may take the lead.
How to wear the fragrance
Benessere Fico e Glicine can be viewed as a fragrance for occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality and confident style.
Its combination of bitter orange, pepper, fig, and woods is especially well suited to fans of noticeable compositions without excessive sweetness.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the available information.
There is also no information about other concentrations of this release, so it is impossible to compare the eau de toilette with an eau de parfum or an extrait.
Perfume context
The name of the perfumer who worked on Collistar Benessere Fico e Glicine is not provided in the available information.
At the same time, the formula demonstrates a technique characteristic of contemporary perfumery: a naturally rendered fruity fig accent unfolds alongside aromatic greenery, citrus, flowers, and precious woods.
Those drawn to a fresh woody-spicy aesthetic may wish to explore Creed Original Vetiver next.
It does not replicate Benessere Fico e Glicine, but it may appeal to lovers of expressive green, citrus, and woody facets.
