Ultima Storia – Extrait de Parfum

Thomas de Monaco – a perfume house from Zurich that calls itself “True Artistic Niche” and thinks of every scent as a work of art.

According to Thomas de Monaco, Ultima Storia is a boundless declaration of love to Italy – its warmth, its people and their stories. Black lemon, almond and roasted coffee open sunny and gourmand, pear, orris and Clearwood lie in the heart, and saffian leather, talc and linen give it an elegant, clean base. Thomas de Monaco and Maurus Bachmann combined six citrus essences from Italy, Spain and Mexico.

Ultima Storia suits summer and travel, espresso in the morning and aperitivo in the evening – and, according to the brand, the whole year too.

What makes Ultima Storia special to us is its staying power: a citrus scent that doesn't vanish after an hour but, according to the brand, lasts over eight hours. Il Cuore d'Estate – the golden heart of summer.
