PUNK MOTEL

Punk Motel is the unisex eau de parfum by Coreterno, the Italian house conceived in Rome in 2015 and launched in New York under the artistic direction of Michelangelo Brancato, signed by perfumer Luca Maffei and launched in 2019. A floral, powdery musk with an unmistakable salty touch, inspired by a lonely road lit by neon lights.

The Fragrance

Punk Motel comes from the image of a deserted road, of neon lights blinding in the dark and cars piercing the night like bullets. It is the soundtrack of a life lived without compromise, between forbidden dreams and unspoken desires: a rebellious fragrance that doesn't ask for permission and doesn't go unnoticed.

How It Evolves on Skin

Punk Motel opens with the light of bergamot and the velvety freshness of white rose, a bright, almost candied entrance. The heart introduces the fragrance's most recognizable trait: salicylates, which give a slightly salty nuance, never marine, like the wind blowing from the sea across the desert. The base is soft and enveloping: musk and vanilla round off the composition, while ambrette seeds add a powdery, sensual note, for a powerful and long-lasting accord.

Who We Recommend Punk Motel To

We recommend Punk Motel to those who love musky, powdery fragrances but are looking for something more original and bold than usual, with a recognizable signature. It is versatile in every season, for day and evening, from the office to nights out. Unisex, it looks great on both him and her.
