From FZOTIC: Wonderfully fresh, warm citrus with cool spices and hints of wood, Five Squared offers a modern twist on the timeless allure of orange blossoms. Fresh rosemary and spi ce elevate the scent. As it evolves, warm incense and rich amber emerge, creating a sophisticated interplay of freshness and depth. Tonka bean and a hint of oakmoss add complexity, resulting in an invigorating and comforting scent. Five Squared balances natural brightness with resinous warmth, making it versatile for any season. Bruno's Inspiration: When I set out to revisit Five, my first perfume, I thought I'd just make a few tweaks. But sometimes, fragrances have a mind of their own.Moving back to Tucson, Arizona was like stepping into a time machine. The scent of orange blossoms wafting through the streets transported me back to my childhood. It was as if those memories were beckoning to be bottled.Inspired, I amplified the neroli and orange flower notes in Five's familiar citrus-herb-wood accord. To ground this sunny burst, I added a whisper of tonka in the base. The result was more than a mere tweak - it was a whole new fragrance.As a final touch, I introduced a hint of frankincense. It's like that cool breeze that cuts through a warm day, tempering any overly sweet notes and adding depth.What began as a simple update became Five Squared - a new name, a fresh design, but with the soul of its predecessor. It's my olfactory love letter to the magic of childhood scent memories.
