I love coming across luxury brands that I was unaware had a perfume collection, and that’s what happened with my recent in-store trip to ETRO.
Founded in 1968, ETRO is an icon of Italian style known for its eclectic designs. From funky bags and purses to eye-catching scarves and sunglasses, they have created something with flair.
The ETRO perfume collection is also varied. Via Verri is a romantic powdery floral; Udaipur is a magnolia delight; and Rajasthan is an exotic blend of spices and musk.

Vicolo Fiori Eau de Parfum is a poetic fragrance reminiscent of a blooming garden in the heart of Milan, fresh and vibrant.

Fresh and floral, Shantung Eau de Parfum, named after the luxurious silk fabric, mirrors the texture’s elegance and richness in its composition.
Fruity tangerine, blackcurrant, and lychee are soon overtaken by a bouquet of rose and peony in the heart. Cashmere, musk, and smoked cedar add depth.

My top pick overall is ETRO White Magnolia Eau de Parfum. Lemony magnolia and citrus work so well together, plus it smells similar to Creed Aventus for Her!
