Launched in 2016 by Moresque, Contessa is a fragrance crafted by perfumer Andrea (Thero) Casotti that weaves together an intricate blend of spicy and sweet notes. Star Anise and Nutmeg create a warm, inviting aroma at the top, while Pink Pepper adds a subtle zing. The heart blooms with Ylang-Ylang, Rose, and Jasmine, offering a floral bouquet that is both delicate and rich. At its core, Vanilla and Tonka Bean mingle with Ambroxan and Musk to create an enveloping warmth that feels like a soft, comforting hug.

Application Tips
Apply Contessa in moderation — two sprays are enough to capture its full complexity. The spicy top notes fade quickly, but the warm base lingers for hours, making it perfect for a cozy evening at home or a quiet afternoon.
