Rubini Fundamental (2023) | 2ml Sample

White grapes and cold iris in a room of old leather.

Bergamot, mandarin and a Soave grape accord lead into iris butter, clary sage, lavender and beeswax, then the whole thing turns powdery and dry over leather, cacao, vetiver and Atlas cedarwood.

Perfumed by: Cristiano Canali

KSI Take: The grape accord is the reason to try this, and it is nothing like a fruity note, more like wine spilled on a cold stone floor. Iris sceptics will still find it rooty and austere rather than pretty, which is precisely the point.
