Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
The house of Olivares & Ribero gifted the world with Ebano & Forza in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance — Carlo Ribero.
Produced in Italy, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Ebano & Forza Olivares & Ribero — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
If fragrances could speak, this one would say: 'You made the right choice.' The official website of Olivares & Ribero — http://www.thebathhouseshop.com.
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 composition of Ebano & Forza is built as a living composition, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Olivares & Ribero is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
In the first seconds you detect petal-airy opening note: Rose. This 1 note shapes the effect of a living bouquet that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the heart you detect Labdanum and Rose holding a deep balsamic direction. At drydown level the line is anchored through Oud and Patchouli, extending a warm vetiver trail.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Balsamic, Floral and Wood with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Floral, Balsamic and Wood.
Overall Ebano & Forza holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood through real development.
