Gritti 19-68

19-68 EDP by Gritti A Year That Changed Everything

Launched in 2019, 19-68 EDP is a vibrant, complex, and deeply evocative creation from the Venetian niche house of Gritti, composed by the house’s founder and perfumer, Luca Gritti. An Oriental Floral fragrance for men, 19-68 takes its name from one of the most turbulent and transformative years of the twentieth century a year of revolution, creativity, and the breaking of every convention. The fragrance reflects that spirit entirely: bold, multi-layered, and impossible to reduce to a single impression, it is a fragrance that refuses to be defined by the rules of its category.

The Scent Journey

• Top Notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper and Cassis. A vivid, sparkling, and gently spiced citrus opening of extraordinary brightness. Calabrian bergamot the world’s finest aromatic and luminous, tangerine warm and juicy, grapefruit effervescent and slightly bitter, pink pepper adding a gentle, rosy warmth, and cassis deep and slightly tart, giving the opening an immediate richness that signals something more complex to come.
• Middle Notes: Lavender, Magnolia, Rose, Vetiver and Patchouli. A beautifully layered aromatic-floral heart of genuine sophistication. Lavender clean and herbal, magnolia soft and velvety, rose adding a classic floral richness, vetiver earthy and smoky, and patchouli dark and resinous five notes that together create a heart of extraordinary depth and character, the aromatic freshness of lavender balanced against the dark earthiness of vetiver and patchouli in a way that is entirely distinctive.
• Base Notes: Ambergris, Tonka Bean and Musk. A warm, radiant, and deeply skin-close drydown. Ambergris warm and oceanic, amplifying the fragrance on the skin with its prized, radiant quality, tonka bean adding a warm, coumarin-sweet creaminess, and musk leaving a clean, lasting trail that carries the warmth and complexity of the entire composition for hours.

19-68 is Luca Gritti at his most ambitious and most layered thirteen notes across three stages, each chosen with precision, each contributing something essential. The lavender, vetiver and patchouli heart is the masterstroke: a combination that gives 19-68 its distinctive aromatic-earthy character and makes it genuinely unlike anything else in the Oriental Floral category.
