There is much to be said about the allure of the complex—the innate intrigue that wraps any object of perplexity. Truth be told, it is in the pull of the unknown that there is attraction. It is in the intricate that there is interest. A complex persona doesn’t reveal everything at once. And when she does choose to uncloak her character, there are always two sides, multiple stories, and infinite nuances.
Such is Greta—the layered persona that is Gretchen Barretto: actress, singer, icon of beauty; indeed, a caster of spells, with her luxurious yet pared back style.
So, too, is Greta—the fragrance: Gentle and sophisticated at once, wrapping senses both in a subtle and intense way. Its sensational, sparkling and natural top notes are played out through a powerful mandarin scent in harmony with brilliant spicy accords of cardamom and coriander. The heart introduces jasmine with a spicy rhythm of nutmeg and woody-spicy cypress, which impresses with elegance and sensuality. The base uncovers notes of oak, mineral amber and musky accords, which warm the composition, giving a delicate, luxurious bottom layer. Inspired by Victorian design, an exquisitely designed filigree motif bottle nods to old world glamour and seals in the curious concoction, laying claim to the complex scent inside. At P348, the potent potion transforms any woman into one as transfixing as Gretchen—a thought that might strike a few women’s fancy this holiday season.
Such was the mystique that enveloped a stunning launch at the Trinoma Activity Center on December 10. Corset-clad, masked models entrancingly removed their elaborate attire, making way for Greta, who emerged in a cloud of smoke—a goddess in her own right. Indeed, this is the pull of Greta: a public figure, a shared mystery—yet in all instances, a picture of timeless elegance.
