Composed by Santi Burgas
The year is 1992, the deck is hot, and the coastline changes from Valencia to Palermo. SANTI BURGAS Egnaro is not an abstract "scent of the Mediterranean," but rather the memory of a child standing for hours on a ship, observing what the wind carries from the land.
Valencian orange and Calabrian bergamot open the perfume, bitter, juicy, and sunny. Anise brings a cool sweetness, while ginger adds a sharper, livelier jolt.
The citruses don't remain a neat cologne. Civet beneath them introduces a warm, animalistic tension, like a body warmed by a long day on deck.
Santi Burgas himself signs the composition and links it to the journey from Valencia via Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, and Naples to Palermo. The sea is a witness in this story, but it is not explicitly listed as a literal aquatic note.
Australian sandalwood and amber later smooth out the anise, citrus, and civet. The scent becomes warmer and creamier, like the evening air after the sun loses its strongest intensity.
Egnaro is not a fresh marine perfume with a hint of salt. It is orange, anise, and civet on warm sandalwood — the Mediterranean remembered from the deck before you knew that memories could have a scent.
