Patina – Extrait de Parfum

Roberto Ugolini – Herbert Stricker's fragrance line, inspired since 2019 by the workshop of Florentine bespoke shoemaker Roberto Ugolini.

Patina is sweet, fruity and golden-warm. Mango and honey open juicy, joined by ylang-ylang and cedarwood, iris, gurjun balsam, guaiac wood and myrrh meet at the heart, before vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood settle into a soft, ambery base.

Patina is at its best in autumn and winter, by day and by night. The unisex scent is an extrait with 30% perfume oil for anyone looking for a warm amber with a fruity twist.

We like how Patina takes a classic amber and gives it a surprisingly juicy side with mango – all fruit at first, then more and more warm amber over time. Just like the patina on a good leather shoe: it builds slowly and gets more beautiful with every wear.
