19-68 - 100ml

Created as an “olfactory self-portrait” titled after Luca Gritti’s birth year, 19-68 celebrates the spontaneity, imagination, and cultural legacy that define the perfumer’s artistic identity. Blending fantasy with tradition, the fragrance reflects the dual movement between origins and future, paying homage to cherished memories and the evolving landscapes that continue to inspire him. As part of the Black Collection, it translates character, travel, and time into an elegant, contemporary narrative—refined yet quietly assertive, crafted to leave a deliberate and lasting impression.

The composition opens with a luminous cologne structure infused with dynamic accents. Sparkling Calabrian bergamot and green mandarin provide crisp brightness, while the astringent depth of blackcurrant and a touch of pink pepper sharpen the aromatic profile. The heart introduces a tranquil yet textured blend of lavender, rose, and vetiver, grounding the freshness with polished sophistication. In the base, ambergris, musk, and tonka bean create a warm, smooth, and subtly sensual trail. Energetic and well-balanced, 19-68 embodies modern Italian elegance with a distinctive personal signature.
