by Milano Fragranze
Naviglio by Milano Fragranze is a crisp, soapy aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of laundry being washed in a Milanese canal. It opens with a bright citrus and aromatic lift from bergamot and neroli, layered with a green, peppery freshness and an elegant lavender-petitgrain core. The heart is clean and airy, with a watery, green undertone that evokes both river water and wet limestone, creating a sense of natural freshness. The dry down reveals a subtle musk and woody cedar, lending a quiet warmth that softens the initial soapy sharpness without diminishing its clean character. While it leans to the masculine in note profile, its unisex rating and moderate sillage make it accessible across gender lines, particularly for spring and summer wear. The scent performs remarkably well—longevity consistently exceeding expectations for an eau de cologne, often lasting well beyond 8 hours. It feels as though it was crafted with the intent of being both truly refreshing and memorable, achieving a balance between artistry and wearability that sets it apart from typical soap-like fragrances.
