Trussardi My Name: A Buyers’ Guide for Pakistan & the Gulf

Released in 2013, My Name by Trussardi has become a reference point for EDP fragrances in the Powdery, Floral family. This guide cuts through the noise: performance data across five climate zones, pricing in PKR and AED, and a clear verdict on whether it belongs in your collection.

A delicate and elegant powdery floral, evoking a sense of refined cleanliness and understated luxury.

Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and My Name is no exception. The opening salvo presents Heliotrope and White Violet, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of My Name emerges: Lilac, Musk and Arum Lily. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Vanilla and Amber anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory My Name leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Powdery, Floral, making My Name a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility

Longevity (7/10): My Name delivers strong longevity for EDP. On most skin types expect 5–8 hours. A midday touch-up is rarely necessary but can extend the experience on special occasions.

Sillage (6/10): My Name projects at a social distance, noticeable without overwhelming. Application to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — maximises projection without overwhelming the room.

Versatility (8/10): My Name is a genuine all-rounder — at ease at a Jumu’ah, a boardroom meeting, or a late-night dinner. From casual daytime to formal evening, it adapts without feeling out of place.

Value (7/10): Pricing at PKR 15,000 feels appropriate for what you get — neither a bargain nor an overreach.
