2012: the world took its first breath of Spice Shot Francesco Vitelli. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the spicy and east families. It was created by perfumer Francesco Vitelli.
Germany is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Spice Shot Francesco Vitelli unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
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 scent of Spice Shot is built as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Francesco Vitelli comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Spicy, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the composition sits in East and Spicy.
When the structure is mixed the notes arrive together with a warm spicy mood: Black Pepper, Cardamom and Vetiver. Here 3 notes sound as one coherent layer, building warm spicy pulse that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary Spice Shot reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
