2014: the world took its first breath of Respiro MONOM. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the amber, east, and musk families. Nicola Bianchi — the creative mind behind this fragrance.
Brand country — Italy. 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 olfactory structure of Respiro evolves as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of MONOM is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Balsamic, Musc, Powdery and Amber forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the notes arrive together with a deep balsamic mood: Ambergris, Frankincense, Iris, Musk and Myrrh. In this case 5 notes act as one voice, creating enveloping resinous depth that reads as cohesive from the start.
The deeper layers are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Ambery, Balsamic, Floral and Musk. It also reaches into Gourmet. At family level the composition sits in Amber, East and Musk.
Taken together Respiro reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
