ULTIMA STORIA by Thomas de Mónaco, created by Maurus Bachmann and launched in 2024, inhabits an olfactory space where citrus brightness meets gourmand depth with a distinctly modern sensibility. Presented as an extrait in 50 ml, it offers a refined study in contrast: a vivid opening, a nuanced heart, and a base that feels almost tactile in its texture.
The fragrance opens with the sharp, radiant character of Black Citron, softened by the creamy comfort of almond. From the very first moments, light and softness move together in a way that feels polished and contemporary. At the heart, orris brings an elegant powdery quality, while pear adds a delicate, juicy facet that keeps the composition fluid and luminous. Coffee gives the structure more depth and personality, wrapping the center of the scent in a warm, intimate, slightly addictive aura.
The base extends that impression through materials that shape atmosphere as much as scent. Linen suggests a serene, airy cleanliness, while Clearwood adds a sleek, modern backbone. Saffian Leather introduces a smooth, sophisticated edge, and talc leaves behind a gentle, evocative softness. Together, these notes create a fragrance built on subtle tension: bright yet cocooning, polished yet expressive, comforting yet unmistakably characterful.
ULTIMA STORIA is designed for those drawn to fragrances with identity and composure, scents that communicate emotion through texture rather than excess. Its unisex profile and elegant construction make it a distinctive creation within niche perfumery, offering a contemporary signature for anyone seeking something refined, memorable, and quietly singular.
