Of all the islands in the Tuscan Archipelago, Montecristo is undoubtedly a shore to be conquered. This rocky, untamed and almost impenetrable place of hidden treasures and unspoilt nature inspired us to create Altrove, a woody, masculine fragrance for men who find their true essence in the most solitary and mysterious places.
The fragrance offers a strong, vibrant handshake of juniper and cypress, introducing scents of the wildest plants that grow where the wind never smooths but sculpts. The aroma of iris then refines the composition, leading to heart notes blending the floral scents of jasmine and rose with the earthier aromas of leather and tobacco, as the fragrance ventures into the deeper, more mysterious part of the Island of Montecristo.
The base notes emerge, warm, full-bodied and almost ancestral, vigorous but never overpowering, nuances of Mediterranean maquis resin intermingling with incense and a slightly bitter tang of arbutus berries. The resulting fragrance is deep, woody and masculine, rooted in nature at in its truest form, with that same aura of mystery as the island that inspired it.
Continue the Altrove journey with our Bath and Body products
A horizon to head for, an island to explore, ‘another place’ that calls you: the journey that began with the scents of this Eau de Parfum continues with our complementary Bath and Body range, leaving the same fragrant footprint on the skin and becoming part of the wearer’s essence.
In our Altrove Bath and Shower Gel, the notes of timber and resin emerge gradually and naturally, enhancing your cleansing ritual with a soft lather for a pleasantly refreshing experience. A light, gentle texture caresses the skin, slowly releasing the nuances of Altrove, foreshadowing the depth of the eau de parfum and preparing the body for the next stage, namely moisturising.
Enriched with the same olfactory notes as the Bath and Shower Gel, our Moisturising Body Cream prolongs the sensation of a soft, soothing embrace, penetrating deeply into the skin. A light, fluid texture enables our Moisturising Body Cream to absorb quickly, endowing the skin with lasting nourishment. These faithful travelling companions accentuate and intensify the fragrance of the Eau de Parfum, which remains on the skin as a true and constant presence.
