A trip back home to Tuscon, Arizona inspired the latest release from Bruno Fazzolari’s brand, Fzotic. According to the perfumer, the visit proved inspirational for him: ‘… the aroma of blooming orange flowers around town kindled childhood memories.’ He had recently revisited his original fragrance, Five, now ten years old, planning to make ‘a few subtle tweaks’. Instead, he increased the quantities of neroli and orange flower accord, added tonka in the base, plus frankincense to offset the sweetness, and created a completely new fragrance: Five Squared.
According to the brand:
FIVE SQUARED merges tradition and innovation, infusing the classic citrus-herbs-wood accord with a refreshing twist while defying norms with its impressive longevity.
Five Squared contains notes of red mandarin, grapefruit, rosemary, neroli, orange flower, petitgrain, spices, amber, incense, oakmoss and tonka bean, and is available via the brand’s website.
