Areté joined the Gritti portfolio in 2015. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the leather family. From the Discontinued collection; released as eau de parfum.
Brand country — Italy: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 Areté evolves as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Gritti 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. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Amber, Leather, Spicy and Alcoholic add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect spicy sparkling first notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Cinnamon and Labdanum.
In the middle phase you detect Leather accord and Whisky keeping a soft suede direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Balsamic and Leather. The framework further includes Drinks, Ambery, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the scent maps to Leather.
Taken together Areté sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
