Lorenzo Pazzaglia | Gin fusion | Extrait de Parfum
Ginfusion is an extraordinarily vibrant, multi-dimensional aromatic-citrus fragrance from the Italian niche house of Lorenzo Pazzaglia. Composed by the chef-turned-perfumer himself, this fragrance completely redefines the boundaries of fresh, boozy scent profiles. It shatters the stereotype of typical fleeting summer colognes or basic, linear "gin and tonic" freshies by presenting an intricately detailed, ultra-concentrated blend. The scent opens with an explosive, mouthwatering canopy of bracing gin accords, sharp lime, bittersweet orange zest, and a brilliant, frosty splash of exotic yuzu. It shifts smoothly into a highly sophisticated heart where crisp green tea leaves and earthy mate tea collide with the herbal refinement of tarragon, lemongrass, and warming ginger. The composition then anchors itself on an exceptionally smooth, deeply magnetic baseline of precious cedarwood, vetiver, cardamom, and rich amber, ensuring the bright, boozy sparkle never fades into thin air.
