Archetipo by Mendittorosa was launched in 2017 as a Woody fragrance for both women and men. Luca Maffei crafted this scent with the intention of blending earthy and smoky elements, creating a distinctive olfactory experience that is both warm and invigorating. The composition opens with a fresh spicy note from pink pepper, which contrasts beautifully against the woody base notes like balsam fir and vetiver. Incense adds a subtle hint of spirituality, while black amber provides depth and richness.

Application Tips
Archetipo's balsam fir and vetiver notes develop over time, so it’s best applied lightly at first. Give it an hour to fully settle on your skin before deciding if you need another spritz. This fragrance projects well but stays close to the body, making it ideal for cooler evenings.
