Contessa

Contessa, a Regal Floral Vanilla

Contessa is a warm, opulent floral from Italian niche perfumery. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot before a rose and ylang-ylang heart settles over vanilla and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Moresque built Contessa as a regal, luxurious floral, rich and refined. The idea was aristocratic elegance, warm and sophisticated.

That warm richness is its appeal. The bergamot keeps it bright, the rose and ylang-ylang make it opulent, and the vanilla and amber give it warmth. Our interpretation follows that same luxurious path.
