The Sniff on Daymon:
“A cosy sense of safety and comfort is imparted from the base of the fragrance, from the sandalwood and tonka bean elements, and the scent lowers to a purr on the skin after a couple of hours.” Read the full review.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and unhurried conversation, when you want warmth rather than projection. It feels most natural on a soft sweater or bare skin in a dim room, where the powdery iris and sandalwood can read as calm, sensual, and quietly self-possessed.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its sandalwood, iris and tonka can bloom without becoming heavy. Apply lightly: one to three sprays is enough, since the scent sits close and develops into a soft, comforting skin scent with modest diffusion.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like woody perfumes with a powdery, musky edge and a gentle, intimate finish. It will appeal to those drawn to refined sandalwood, iris and tonka compositions that feel sensual, understated and slightly unconventional.

The nose
Luca Maffei. Maffei is known for polished, contemporary compositions that balance clarity with texture, often giving niche fragrances a supple, wearable structure without losing character. In Daymon, his hand is evident in the smooth sandalwood base and the airy powder of iris and tonka, which create a soft, enveloping trail rather than a loud statement.
Collaborators
Stefania Squeglia shaped the concept and narrative, framing Daymon as part of Mendittorosa’s animal-welfare commitment and its poetic “Odori d’Anima” universe. Luca Maffei translated that brief into the fragrance itself, developing the composition in close dialogue with the brand’s artistic direction.
Mendittorosa’s story
Mendittorosa is a deeply personal Italian house built around storytelling, symbolism and emotional resonance. Founded by Stefania Squeglia, it treats perfume as an intimate, almost spiritual object: cruelty-free, small-batch, unisex and designed with strong visual identity as well as scent.
Daymon’s concept
Daymon was created as a fragrance with a charitable purpose, tied to Mendittorosa’s support for animal welfare and its broader anti-cruelty message. The brand describes it as a joyful, enigmatic spirit, a kind of voiceless guide that carries an inner star, and the composition was developed over roughly two years in Milan.
Extra info
Daymon is presented as part of Mendittorosa’s animal-welfare project and comes with the brand’s distinctive totem-style bottle presentation. The house notes that lid designs vary, so each bottle arrives with a different surprise creature.
