Fabbrica Della Musa Piccadilly Hero Extrait

Description

Piccadilly Hero is cherry-and-praline sweetness over a smoky base of tobacco and leather. Released in 2025 by Fabbrica della Musa and composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani, it pays tribute to London street style, from Piccadilly to Carnaby Street, and comes in a magenta bottle with a gold cap. Pear, orange blossom, apple, praline and cherry open it; violet, Egyptian geranium, lavender, Sri Lankan black tea and a solar floral accord form the heart; and pink pepper, sandalwood, guaiac wood, vanilla, leather, Balkan tobacco, saffron and patchouli fill the base. Reviewers describe it as bold and charismatic, fruity at first and smoky-warm by the end.

Scent Character

Translation: a floral heart with leather and woods close behind. The leather share is real leather and tobacco in the base, not oud. Fruit and praline sit on top, and saffron and pink pepper add a little heat.
