Gritti Super Nova Extrait
Description
Gritti Super Nova is a cold, metallic-mineral extrait built to feel like standing in open space. Created by Luca Gritti for Gritti Venezia (launched 2024), it opens with a blast of mineral and ozonic freshness before gunpowder and a resinous "oud" facet add smoke and warmth against a backdrop of ambergris and cashmeran. Reviewers describe it as a sterile, beautiful coldness, sharing DNA with famous mineral-metallic fragrances but without the harsh, clinical edge some of those wear.
Scent Character
- Woody: 34%
- Fresh: 22%
- Spicy: 11%
- Sweet: 11%
- Marine: 11%
- Smoky Mineral: 11%
Translation: a woody-fresh core dominates, with the fragrance's "oud" reading here as gunpowder-smoke and warm mineral facets rather than true agarwood, a marine sparkle up top and ambergris-cashmeran warmth underneath round it out.
