Earlier this year I became acquainted with the Italian Maitre Parfumeur Maria Candida Gentile and her Classic Collection. Her independent quality of creating perfume delighted me and I was looking forward to more. In April she sent us the descriptions of the four fragrances which make up The Exclusive Collection. I was very interested in these new fragrances because unlike the fragrances which made up The Classic Collection she would be using only a few well-chosen notes to realize her vision this time. I am coming to appreciate how much harder it is for a perfumer to have depth and contour when only using a very few notes, The Exclusive Collection is an example of what the skill of a Maitre Parfumeur can do with just a few notes.

Thanks to Maria Candida Gentile we have a reader’s choice draw for 15mL of any one of The Exclusive Collection.
