The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
My Diamond belongs to Pascal Morabito's Gemstone collection, a series inspired by the world of precious objects and fine jewelry. The name sets an expectation: this should feel cut and polished, not composed of rough edges. The fragrance delivers on that premise by opening with lilac and magnolia, then moving through a heart that feels less like a bouquet and more like the memory of holding something treasured. The overall effect is one of refined elegance, with each note chosen to reinforce the sense of something precious and carefully selected.
The note structure follows a clear progression. The top trio, lilac, magnolia, limewood, share a green undertone that gives the opening its distinct character. From there, the heart introduces violet and tuberose, which are both flowers known for their powdery, slightly waxy character. Nutmeg adds a subtle spiced warmth that prevents the heart from becoming too sweet. The base features iris root, which is naturally powdery and mineral in quality, and paired with vanilla, it creates a finish that feels clean and complete.
The evolution
Lilac arrives first. Magnolia follows within minutes, carrying a faintly citrus edge that lifts the opening into something lighter. Limewood grounds the duo with a subtle woody undertone that gives the top notes stability. By the twenty-minute mark, violet and tuberose take over the conversation, creating a transition from the bright opening to a more powdery character. Carnation adds a clove-like warmth while nutmeg provides subtle spiced warmth that lingers. Iris becomes more prominent as time passes, shaping the composition toward its driest phase. Musk and vanilla arrive last, wrapping the drydown in warmth and softness that stays close to the skin. On fabric, the vanilla persists into the next day, leaving a soft trace.
Cultural impact
My Diamond emerged as part of the Gemstone collection, which includes other scents named after precious stones and objects. The naming strategy draws from the world of jewelry and precious objects, positioning these fragrances as something to be collected and treasured. The collection offers an alternative to more commercial florals, with a focus on understated elegance. While the exact release date remains unspecified, the scent represents a distinct approach to florals within the luxury fragrance landscape, appealing to those who seek something beyond typical fragrance conventions and appreciate the finer details of composition.
