Rosso Rubino
Rosso Rubino by Giardini di Toscana is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon and sweet orange, moves into rose, red berries and cocoa and dries down to coumarin, pink pepper, patchouli, cashmeran and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
Dry-down
- Coumarin Hay, almond and vanilla in one molecule. The heart of every fougère.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
