Will Be LoveGourmand Vanilla Eau de Parfum

Will Be Love by Epicò is a gourmand, vanilla and milky unisex niche eau de parfum.

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 bergamot, mandarin and milk cream

Bergamot and mandarin open bright and sunny, then the milk cream immediately establishes the milky note.

A heart of coconut, caramel and elemi

Coconut and syrup peach bring the creamy fruitiness, while caramel and vanilla bring the cooked sugar. And elemi comes to cut through.

A base of ambergris, patchouli and tonka bean

Ambergris brings its saline minerality, patchouli its earthiness, and vanilla and tonka bean their roundness. Musk establishes the skin effect.

The house's touch

Elemi in the middle of desserts. This lemony and peppery, almost medicinal resin has no business being between a caramel and a syrup peach — and that is exactly why it is there: it cuts through the sugar. The ambergris in the base, saline and mineral, plays the same role. Without these two materials, the composition would be a confection.

For whom, for what occasions?

Gourmand, vanilla and milky, this eau de parfum is for those who love enveloping milky notes. It gives its best in the cold season, from day to night, worn equally well by women as by men.

With Will Be Love Epicò, two dry materials prevent a dessert from being one.
