$243.09

Petitgrain over a amber base.

Petitgrain and Amber for year-round wear.

The Scent

Gritti Because I'm Free opens soft and petaled, leading with Petitgrain for its first impression on the skin. It unfolds into a heart of Almond Blossom, Banana Flower and Candied Fruits, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It settles to a base of Amber, Caramel and Vanilla, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
