The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Alfa by Mendittorosa is a fragrance that balances the tension between warmth and freshness. Amélie Bourgeois crafted this Oriental Spicy scent with an aromatic opening that gives way to warm spices and woody notes, creating a complex interplay of metallic undertones and musky depth. The powdery base adds a soft touch, while the oud brings a rich, smoky complexity that grounds the composition.
Apply Alfa lightly to pulse points; its aromatic opening is bright but fades within an hour. The warm spices and oud base continue to unfold throughout the day, making it ideal for a long-lasting yet subtle presence.
