The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
4 Dillo Alla Luna arrived in 2022 as part of UERMI's Solaro Collection, with Pierre-Constantin Guéros composing its bright green-spicy character. Its name and stated collection idea point toward sunlight, while the note pyramid turns that inspiration into something more polished: grapefruit and bergamot meet juniper berries, then cypress and rosemary sharpen the center with black pepper. Vetiver, amber, and guaiac wood lend a darker register, making the result less like a poolside snapshot and more like sunlight filtering through trees. Nothing about it needs to shout. It works through contrast, keeping the citrus crisp while the woody base adds quiet depth.
The composition becomes interesting because its brightness never behaves like a simple citrus accord. Grapefruit brings a juicy, lightly bitter edge, while bergamot adds polished lift. Juniper berries, cypress, and rosemary give the opening a green, aromatic snap. Black pepper interrupts that smoothness with a dry, almost savory jolt. The base is equally grounded: Haitian vetiver and Madagascan vetiver bring earthy structure, while guaiac wood adds a smoky-woody shade and amber softens the edges without turning the scent sweet.
The evolution
At first, the fragrance is all movement and sunlight. Bergamot and grapefruit lift the first impression, with juniper berries giving it a cool, aromatic edge. The heart introduces more structure as cypress and rosemary bring a herbal, resinous quality, then black pepper adds a brief flicker of heat. As the scent settles, the citrus recedes and the woody materials take over. Guaiac wood makes the middle feel shaded and lightly smoky, while Haitian vetiver and Madagascan vetiver keep the base earthy rather than plush. Amber remains as a soft glow underneath, preventing the drydown from becoming severe. After several hours, the fragrance reads less like fresh citrus and more like skin, leaves, and polished wood, with a restrained warm trail that stays present without taking over.
Cultural impact
4 Dillo Alla Luna belongs to UERMI's Solaro Collection, described as chic, colorful, sparkling, and like four summer poems in a liquid form. Its composition combines crisp citrus with herbal notes and a polished woody base. Bergamot and grapefruit create the bright opening, while juniper berries, cypress, rosemary, and black pepper add a green, aromatic middle. Haitian vetiver, Madagascan vetiver, guaiac wood, and amber shape the warm drydown, giving the fragrance a clear movement from freshness to grounded woods.
The House
UERMIUERMI is an Italian niche perfume house that treats fragrance like a wardrobe of moods. Founded by Luca Uermi in the alpine resort of Courmayeur, the brand opened its first boutique at the foot of Mont‑Blanc and introduced an “olfactive wardrobe” concept that lets collectors mix and match scents for any occasion. Each launch carries a plus/minus symbol that hints at a dual personality, and the line has grown to include more than a dozen distinct compositions, from the denim‑inspired OH Denim Extreme to the vintage‑evoking 70's Mood. UERMI’s approach blends minimalist design with a focus on high‑quality ingredients, offering a quiet alternative to louder luxury houses.
The Creator
Pierre-Constantin GuérosGuéros’s style blends classic French structure with an adventurous use of modern synthetics. He often starts with a clear base—cedar, sandalwood or leather—then introduces unexpected accents such as metallic ionics, lab‑grown ambergris or rare resins from Madagascar.
