Ultima Storia

A dark, smoky, almost bitter lemon, smoothed by almond. It is bright but deep. You can tell the quality straight away.
At the heart, warm pear and coffee soften the acidity. Everything becomes gentler, cosier. Iris adds a light powderiness. This is when the fragrance reveals its true nature: it is not about freshness, it is about sophistication.
In the base, leather arrives discreetly. Not aggressive, just there. Talc and linen add a cleanness, like fresh laundry. It is warm, powdery, sensual.
This is for the summer when you really want to look like someone. Versatile, wearable all day, timeless. No beach clichés, just Italian elegance in a bottle.

Thomas de Monaco is an independent perfume house founded in 2020 in Zurich by its eponymous creator, a Franco-Swiss artistic director and photographer. For more than twenty years, Thomas de Monaco shaped the visual language of the world’s leading luxury houses, Dior, Hermès, YSL, Armani, Cartier, and Rolex, while working in Paris, New York, and Zurich. It was his discovery of the Helmut Lang collection that marked a true turning point: a contemporary line, imbued with a subtle retro spirit, that continues to influence his work today. Perfume thus became another medium, the only one where the final image is not delivered by the creator but is constructed entirely in the wearer’s imagination. Based in the heart of a former Gustave Eiffel factory in Zurich, the house crafts its fragrances using artisanal methods, free from industrial constraints. Each fragrance is developed in close collaboration with perfumer Maurus Bachmann, under the creative direction of Thomas de Monaco. This is the essence of the house.” A designer house built on the conviction that fragrance is not simply worn, it complements the wearer.
