Odor profile: dry, sophisticated and fun fantasy note reminiscent of the classic cocktail, useful for dry and refreshing fragrance compositions

Martini is an alcoholic cocktail made with gin and vermouth, with an olive or a lemon twist. Martini is prepared by pouring all of its ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes, mixed, strained and served without ice in a chilled cocktail glass. This classic cocktail glass has a cone-shaped bowl placed upon a stem above a flat base. The olive or a strip of lemon peel are used as a garnish. Recipes similar to contemporary martini were first appeared in bartending guides of the late 19th century. During the 1970s and 80s, martini was regarded as an old-fashioned drink, but it recently came into fashion again, along with an explosion of its new versions.
