The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Myspritz arrives in 2026 from Italian fragrance house Rosae Virtus, with Lorenzo Orlandi Berti and Luca Maffei identified as its creators. There’s no verified account of a specific inspiration behind the name, so the composition itself does the talking. Rhubarb, pink grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon blossom establish a crisp, sparkling opening, while rose and blackcurrant bring a floral-fruity middle. Cedarwood, musk, vanilla, and patchouli give the result a darker floor. It feels like brightness with somewhere to land, opening with lively citrus and gradually settling into a warmer, more textured blend.
The interesting part is the shift from sharp fruit to grounded woods. Rhubarb and grapefruit bring tartness, bergamot adds polished citrus, and lemon blossom keeps the opening airy. Blackcurrant makes the heart darker and more tactile, while rose softens the fruit without turning the composition into a conventional floral. Cedarwood and patchouli pull everything toward the skin, then vanilla and musk round the edges. The result is fresh with a warm shadow underneath, rather than citrus alone.
The evolution
Myspritz starts with a lively burst of rhubarb, pink grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon blossom. The first impression is cool, bright, and slightly tart, like citrus peel caught in morning air. As the heart develops, blackcurrant adds a darker fruitiness and rose introduces a soft floral center, making the scent feel less like a citrus splash and more like a finished composition. Later, cedarwood and patchouli bring structure, while musk and vanilla leave a smoother, warmer trace. By the time it settles, the brightness is still present, but it sits closer to the skin with a gentle woody sweetness. The opening gradually softens as the floral and fruity notes take over, then gives way to a composed drydown of woods, patchouli, musk, and vanilla.
Cultural impact
Myspritz brings together fruit, citrus, rose, woods, patchouli, musk, and vanilla in a composition that moves from brightness to warmth. Its appeal lies in the contrast between the lively opening and the darker, more textured base, offering a clear point of discovery for the fragrance. The interplay of pink grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon blossom gives the first impression a sparkling quality, while blackcurrant and rose add depth through fruit and floral notes. As the composition settles, cedarwood, patchouli, musk, and vanilla create a softer finish that keeps the earlier brightness in conversation with a warmer woody trail.
The House
Rosae VirtusRosae Virtus is an Italian fragrance house built on botanical expertise and rose cultivation. Founder Davide Dalla Libera, a trained botanist, established the brand in 2023 and debuted at Esxence, leveraging a family connection to Novaspina, a dedicated rose farm. This vertical integration sets the house apart: the same hands that cultivate roses also translate their scent into wearable perfume. The core collection centers on four seasonal Rosa expressions, each named for the time of year in Latin. The house later expanded beyond rose with Greenade and Purpluie in 2025. Rosae Virtus occupies a distinctive position in contemporary perfumery by treating the garden as the primary creative partner rather than a source of aromatic raw material alone.
The Creator
Claudio ZuccaZucca favors a hands‑on approach, blending natural extracts with synthetics in equal measure. He often begins with a single note—such as Madagascar vanilla or Tuscan cedar—and builds layers that reveal themselves over hours.
