Chantilly, from Gritti was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is Luca Gritti. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Melon, Orange, and Strawberry, middle notes of Apple, Coconut, Currant Leaf and Bud, and Floral Notes, and base notes of Musk, Powdery Notes, and Vanilla.
Chantilly is an intensely sweet and tropical summery scent with an assorted array of different fruits all fighting for attention. The main thing I’m picking up on is the strawberry and melon, with the citruses resting in the background. From here, a powdery coconut and vanilla sets in which is joined by a juicy apple which leaves you with a scent that is both dry, powdery and sweet, yet also juicy and refreshing. As there is no raw material to be derived from strawberries and apples, these have to be recreated synthetically which I feel in this case could have been done better. Overall the scent smells pleasant, but it comes across much more synthetic and a bit cheaper than the others I’ve tried from this line. A nice fragrance, but nothing exciting or particularly interesting in my opinion.
