Gritti is an Italian niche house founded in 2011 and known for bold, unconventional fragrances that blend classical perfumery with contemporary sensibilities. The brand emphasizes raw materials and complex compositions that challenge conventional fragrance categories.

Anima opens with a bright, fruity burst of pineapple, apple, strawberry, and citrus notes that immediately establish a fresh, almost juicy character. The heart shifts into a delicate floral territory with jasmine, iris, and rose adding sophistication without sweetness. The base is where the fragrance reveals its complexity, grounding the composition with ambergris, white musk, cedar, patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood. The overall DNA leans woody and amber-forward with a subtle powdery-musky undertone, creating something that feels both fruity-fresh and deeply warm.

This is an unisex fragrance that works best for someone who appreciates nuance and isn't looking for immediate gratification. It's suited to cooler months and evening wear, though the initial brightness could work in transitional seasons. The layering of fruit, floral, and woody elements makes it versatile enough for various occasions. If you gravitate toward The Mystic, The Homesteader, or The Reverie, Anima deserves your attention.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Pineapple
Pineapple
Vivid, tropical, and intensely sweet with a slightly fermented, almost winey quality, pineapple is one of the most assertive tropical fruit notes. It adds an immediate, unambiguous tropical sweetness that can dominate if used too heavily. In moderate amounts it adds a lively, summery energy to fruity and aquatic compositions.
Apple
Apple
Fresh, crisp, and slightly cidery, apple reads as clean and natural rather than candy-sweet. Green apple is sharper and more aromatic; red apple is rounder and juicier. Both add an approachable freshness to florals and fresher orientals, and green apple in particular is a signature of certain classic masculines.
Strawberry
Strawberry
Fresh, bright, and instantly recognizable, strawberry in fine fragrance reads as cleaner and more natural than its candy-version counterpart. Good strawberry accord has a slightly green, leaf-like quality alongside the fruit's sweetness. Used in light florals and fruity orientals where it adds approachable, unpretentious sweetness.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Lime
Lime
Crisper and greener than lemon, with a faint bitterness that keeps it from smelling like a cocktail mixer. Lime zest has a raw, almost herbaceous quality that pairs naturally with aquatic and green accords. It signals freshness and informality, the note of beach bars and gym-fresh colognes.
Plum
Plum
Dark, slightly tart, and warm, plum has a wine-like depth that makes it more serious than cherry or peach. It adds a fruity darkness to oriental fragrances, with a slightly fermented quality that bridges fruit and leather families. Used to add drama and depth to floral-oriental compositions.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Iris
Iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
White Musk
White Musk
Clean, soft, and slightly soapy, white musk is the scent of fresh laundry and warm skin. It's the furthest from the animalic origins of real musk: approachable, inoffensive, and universally flattering. Almost every mass-market fragrance uses white musk as a base, which is why it reads as 'clean' rather than specifically musky.
Cedar
Cedar
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
