Monserrat

Monserrat by FZOTIC is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Monserrat was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Bruno Fazzolari. Top notes are Pink Grapefruit and Carrot Seeds; middle notes are Apricot, Green Leaves and Jasmine; base notes are Wet Plaster, Ambergris and White Musk. Monserrat is fruity and bright, yet also warm, burnished and sensual. It opens with a fresh burst of green citrus, and features an accord of musky grapefruit laced through with soft green notes. Carrot seed lends an apricot aspect, while light jasmine adds floral qualities to the whole. Monserrat was created for the exhibition New Work at Jancar Jones Gallery, Los Angeles. It appeared in the gallery without a title, designated instead by a daub of paint on the label. It has now been named Monserrat after the oil color, Montserrat Orange. The paintings feature grounds that include tints of off-white or pale luminous green and the overall palette employs dusky oranges and ochres. I was thinking of worn and repainted urban walls; I was also thinking of fresco painting—which is the origin of the fantasy note "wet plaster."
