Ponte Etereo opens with rain-drenched soil and bitter cacao before settling into smoky birch tar, dried chamomile, and dark patchouli. Created by Meo Fusciuni in collaboration with Tracy Tsefalas of Fumerie Parfumerie, this scent recreates the mood of an Oregon forest in late autumn. Sichuan pepper and cypress add a cool menthol edge to the opening, while cade oil and cedarwood ground the heart. On skin, animalic suede and warm amber soften the damp earthiness, keeping the dry-down grounded. Wear it on chilly overcast November afternoons when you want a quiet, woody scent that hugs close to your wool coat. Show less
