The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Michel Almairac, Brioni Eau de Parfum Essentiel is a sophisticated composition that marries the freshness of bergamot and cardamom with the warmth of tonka bean and ambergris. The standout note here is tomato — an unusual choice that adds an unexpected layer of green freshness to the aromatic base. This juxtaposition creates a fragrance that feels both modern and lasting, much like Brioni's approach to tailoring.
This fragrance has a strong initial burst with its tomato and bergamot notes, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The patchouli and sandalwood base will develop over time, making it best suited for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet distinctive presence.
