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.

Notes: Helichrysum, Honey, Propolis, Laotian Oud, Cinnamon, Spices, Incense, Cistus, Civet, Castoreum, Oak Moss

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

Extra Virgo is a niche perfume house created by H.H. Alex Postiglione, Prince Ne Min Gy of Limbin, a member of the Burmese royal family whose creative direction is deeply rooted in his passion for plants, history, and spirituality. Based in Florence, Tuscany, where Prince Alex was born and studied art history, the brand formulates small-batch perfumes at the family estate of Montecucchi, drawing inspiration from “secret gardens” and botanical sanctuaries cultivated around the world. Extra Virgo treats fragrance as a sacred craft and a form of “forbidden botanica,” using high concentrations of natural materials to create resinous, sensual compositions that aim to connect the wearer with nature, memory, and a sense of primordial elegance.
