Plinius by Misenum is a fragrance for women and men. Plinius was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Paolo Romano. Top notes are Pepper, Rose, Anise, Lemon, Grapefruit, Bergamot and Sea water; middle notes are Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Seaweed; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli, Ambergris, Tonka Bean, Cedar and Musk. Pliny the Elder is our most precious source of the ancient fragrance recipes. We decided to dedicate a perfume to him evoking not so much his role as the first great naturalist in history, but rather that of admiral of the most important Roman fleet of his time: the Classis Misenensis.The perfume is a marine concept while maintaining the Regality of the role. It combines the fresh and spicy notes as two essential characteristics of Pliny, his duty as an admiral and his love for nature.
