‘I fly
In an intergalactic space
Where gods are dancing…’
From "Neptune’s Flight" by Marco Pesatori, astrologer & poet
***
Nettuno is a frozen rose floating amid nebulous musks, blue ginger, translucent blooms and soft embracing leather. Powdered particles of earthy iris and vetiver drift like ash over this perfumed flight of fate and stellar protection.
Perfumer: Amelie Bourgeois.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close quarters and slow motion, where its powdery iris and soft leather can settle into the air like a pale haze. It feels most natural in an intimate evening setting, when the wearer wants something reflective, slightly strange and quietly magnetic rather than overtly polished.
How to wear
Best worn with restraint in cooler weather, where its musky, woody and powdery facets can unfold without losing shape. One or two sprays are enough to let the rose, ginger and iris drift softly from the skin; in warmer air it stays more translucent, while in cold it turns denser and more leathery.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to powdery leathers, iris-driven compositions and fragrances that feel abstract, contemplative and slightly cosmic. It suits a taste for niche perfumery with a soft edge, where floral notes are filtered through musk, vetiver and a restrained animalic warmth.

The nose
Amélie Bourgeois is a French perfumer known for compositions that balance texture, contrast and a strong sense of atmosphere. Her work often moves between airy florals, musks, woods and spices, with an instinct for making abstract ideas feel tactile on skin. For Nettuno, she shapes Mendittorosa’s Neptune-inspired brief into something both delicate and structured: rose appears as a frozen shimmer, while iris, vetiver and leather give the fragrance its powdery, mineral depth. The result fits her talent for elegant, modern compositions that feel intimate rather than loud.
Collaborators
Stefania Squeglia, Mendittorosa’s founder, developed the concept as a personal take on contemporary astrology and worked closely on the brief, shaping the fragrance around the imagery of Neptune, cosmic dust and a planetary mirror. Marco Pesatori’s poem “Neptune’s Flight” provided the poetic point of departure for the scent’s mood and symbolism.
Mendittorosa’s story
Mendittorosa treats perfumery as art object and symbolic language, building handcrafted extraits around natural materials, ritual imagery and carefully developed narratives. The house favors originality over mass appeal, with each fragrance conceived as a layered talisman rather than a conventional commercial release.
Nettuno’s concept
Nettuno belongs to Mendittorosa’s Talismans Collection and was created as a celestial interpretation of Neptune, filtered through contemporary astrology. The fragrance grew from Marco Pesatori’s poem “Neptune’s Flight” and from Stefania Squeglia’s idea of a personal, symbolic mirror of the soul, with the brief centered on cosmic dust, duality and astral guidance.
Extra info
Nettuno is part of Mendittorosa’s Talismans Collection and is presented as a “sensual symbol of astral guidance.” The bottle is hand-decorated with a cosmic mirror motif, reinforcing the fragrance’s Neptune-and-reflection theme. It remains in production.
