South of 5th – Extrait de Parfum

ADAMO – a niche perfume label from the Milan area that translates coastal places into bottles in its Costiera Collection: Cap Cana, Miami, Cape Town – black-and-white packaging, made in Italy. South of 5th is by Hamid Merati-Kashani and stands for Miami at golden hour.

South of 5th smells of sea breeze and sunscreen summers – aquatic, fresh and framed by serious woods. Pink pepper, sea accords, neroli and Siberian pine open, Damascena rose, nutmeg and tuberose sit in the heart, and beneath them Indonesian patchouli, Virginia cedar, Haitian vetiver and a trace of praline.

South of 5th belongs to spring and summer and to the day – a genderneutral fragrance for warm hours by the water, but also for the office when you want to keep the sea in your head.

What makes South of 5th special to us is that the sea does not smell of laundry detergent here: salty freshness meets pine, cedar and vetiver, and the praline gives the whole a quiet, sun-warmed sweetness.
