Profumi notturni · Mantua
Silk, after dark.
Seven perfumes composed for the evening and the hours after it, poured and labelled on Via Pomponazzo.
How Vellanotte wears
Close as silk. Still there at dawn.
Every perfume is poured at 20 to 24% concentration and blended to sit near the skin: you notice it when someone leans in, not across the room — and it is still on your collar the next morning.
Eau de parfum and attar oil · ten to fourteen hours on skin · two days on wool
The wardrobe
A perfume for every hour after eight.
From a cold iris for the first drink to a smoke of olibanum and suede for the walk home. Each bottle is 50 ml, poured in runs of three hundred, and comes with a 2 ml sample of another perfume so the next choice is already on your skin.

Top notes
The bright, volatile part that greets you and leaves first: bergamot pressed in Reggio Calabria, lemon zest and a pinch of pink pepper. It is the reason a perfume smells different on the card than on the wrist.

What the perfume is really about, once the citrus has gone. In Ventiquattro the heart is sea salt, a little Damask rose and orris — soft, mineral, a skin rather than a bouquet.

The heaviest molecules, which hold everything above them and stay in a scarf for days: white musk, a trace of olibanum smoke and vetiver from Haiti.

Choose by the mood, not the name.
Every Vellanotte perfume belongs to one family. Start with the one you already reach for, and the finder will show you how deep to go.
