GitanoWoody Amber Eau de Parfum

Gitano by Epicò is a niche woody, amber and spicy eau de parfum, unisex, with a free-spirited temperament.

Perfume as a narrative

Epicò Parfum is an Italian house founded in 2018 by Federico Gucciardi, an artist born in Bologna and recognized as "the poet of perfume". The name says it all: Epicò means "story". Each fragrance is born from a story that Federico writes himself — pages of emotions, dreams and memories that he then translates into accords, into "liquid verses" — and each perfume is accompanied by this short text, which reveals the soul of the fragrance. "Every drop is a word," he says, "every perfume is a chapter of our story." After years of artistic studies and a career in the great Italian beauty houses, he now composes with Fabio Bernardi and Giulia Brigliadori. The black bottle bears a handmade antique copper label made by artisans, which makes each piece slightly different. 100 ml bottle.

An opening of Bulgarian rose, cistus and cardamom

The Bulgarian rose opens wide and honeyed, the cistus brings its leathery resin and the cardamom its camphor spice.

A heart of oud, cypriol and patchouli

The oud establishes its woody depth, the jasmine a discreet whiteness. The cypriol essential oil, the cedar and the patchouli darken the composition.

A base of leather, amber and guaiac

The leather and the animalic notes settle boldly, the amber and the sandalwood bring warmth, the guaiac its dry smoke. The trail is powerful.

The house's signature

Cypriol between oud and leather. This Indian root — nagarmotha — is smoky, earthy and leathery: placed in the heart, it makes the hinge between agarwood and the leather of the base, so that the transition is continuous rather than abrupt. The bold animalic notes complete the placement of this perfume outside the consensus.

For whom, for what occasions?

Woody, amber and spicy, this eau de parfum is for those who embrace powerful and animalic fragrances. It gives its best in the evening and in winter, worn equally well by women as by men.
