The origins of this popular men's shoe model are not entirely clear, but are said to date back to a Earl of Derby who had very specific requirements when it came to footwear. According to tradition, his high instep was responsible for the development of a more comfortable, closable version of the classic shoes available at the time, which were more suitable for him. This marked the birth of a true all-rounder that can be worn with elegant, casual and even sportier outfits.
The Derby fragrance creation by Roberto Ugolini is now also in keeping with this spirit. A universally wearable perfume that makes a confident olfactory statement on any occasion. It is precisely this wonderfully adaptable quality that is responsible for the choice of black for the bottle.
The first step and thus the beginning of the seductive fragrance journey is like a real kick of refreshingly herbaceous spice. The striking combination of cardamom and basil leaves is primarily responsible for this lively start to the top note. And as we continue on the aromatic journey to the heart note, surprising and welcome companions await us. Cinnamon bark, caraway and myrrh follow the predetermined path more deeply and gradually lead us on a delightful stroll to the base note. On the gradually discernible journey towards the horizon, we are greeted by increasingly noticeable green patchouli and the finest cedarwood. ‘Derby’ by Roberto Ugolini is the reliable navigator for the stylish and goal-oriented man.
