Roberto Ugolini - High Heel White

Although today heels are conventionally associated with ladies, White High Heel is actually a versatile fragrance that can be worn equally by men or women. Elegant and intoxicating, graceful and forceful, this scent experience is a study in contrasts that never loses its artfully delicate and subtle edge. Mingling citruses with powdery florals, the resulting fragrance is impactful without being overwhelming, offering a unique opportunity, especially for men, desirous of standing out in a nuanced way.  

White High Heel has at its opening galbanum, an intense green smell with the slightest whiff of invigorating turpentine. Concurrent fresh citrus notes and a touch of spice then lead to a dignified floral heart that elevates and refines the fragrance, with a mossy, spicy tinge that prevents an overly-feminine air. Finally, soft, redolent base notes, including subtly sweet warm vanilla, mingle with luxurious patchouli, frankincense, and precious woods that clearly mark this fragrance as unisex.

Defined largely by its delicate dignity, this fragrance is sufficiently unobtrusive for work environments but thanks to its depth is, on social occasions, a generally better fit for intimate and formal events. In particular, this fragrance has proven to be a favorite at weddings. Although named for a lady’s shoe, the White High Heel can be easily worn by men, especially with lighter applications that allow for a harmonious mingling of its spicy, mossy, green, and floral elements. Its medium sillage and longevity, however, means that it can be worn in heavier amounts to emphasize its decadent, exotic base notes.
