Dolomiti Cortina 1224 — a 2010 fragrance that needs no introduction. Perfumer Andrea Marcoccia left a distinct mark on this composition.
Italy is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Dolomiti Cortina 1224 — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Dolomiti is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Cortina 1224 comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Floral, Fruit and Spicy.
From the first breath you sense fresh floral first note: Floral Notes. Exactly this 1 note shapes romantic softness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the middle phase you notice Fruit note keeping a tempting fruity direction. In the base the structure settles through Spices, reinforcing a amber-spicy trail.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Floral, Fruit and Spicy with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary Dolomiti holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
