Montecristo

You stand on the rugged cliffs of Montecristo, where the sea wind stings and the rocks shimmer under a fierce sun.

Air hums with heat and spice—honey melting over stone, wild herbs crushed beneath your steps, and a whisper of smoke curling from some hidden fire. Helichrysum blooms nearby, its golden heart both sweet and bitter, echoing the island’s wild grace. Beneath that brightness lies a darker pulse—resins, oud, a touch of animal warmth—like secrets kept too long in the sun. It feels sacred and untamed, a memory of salt on skin and lost legends in the wind.

Please Note: Extra Virgo samples are not filled to the top of the vial.

Extra Virgo's fragrances are formulated by H.H. Alex Postiglione, Prince Ne Min Gy of Limbin, grandson of Princess Yadana Nat Mai, Goddess of the Nine Jewels and heir to the last king of Burma. Postiglione was born in Florence and studied art history there, and spent a life cultivating a passion for plants and anthropology. All of the house's fragrances are made at the Castle of Montecucchi in Florence, chief among the family sanctuaries around the world where materials are grown and sourced.

Each one runs between seventy and eighty percent natural material, ages at least three months before blending, and cures another month before it is bottled by hand. The signature flacon is Italian crystal under a black Carrara marble cap. Continuing the family legacy passed on by Princess Yadana Nat Mai, Postiglione is involved with humanitarian and environmental projects aiding Myanmar, its natural biosphere and its people.
