Description
Rosendo Mateu Nº9 is a masterful composition of contrast and harmony — where spicy top notes meet a heart of soft florals and warm tobacco, all anchored by a sensual base of musk, vanilla, and leather. Rich, refined, and quietly powerful, this is a fragrance that stays close yet leaves a lasting impression.
The opening is luminous and bold: cardamom and pink pepper bring brightness and energy, balanced by elemi resin and a citrus touch that add clarity and modern elegance.
At the heart, osmanthus unveils its velvety, fruity-floral warmth, while orris brings a powdery sophistication reminiscent of violet petals. Safranal adds a luxurious leather nuance, weaving into the creamy floral tones with depth and texture. Then comes tobacco — rich, smoky, and sensual — grounding the fragrance in warmth and maturity.
The drydown is enveloping and elegant: vanilla adds gentle sweetness, musk brings softness and sensuality, and iris delivers a powdery, woody finish that lingers on the skin like a tailored memory.
