Italian
I'm a perfume-smelling grouch (after all the failures in Douglas and drugstores) and was amazed when the first sniff of a perfume in a natural cosmetics store in Passau only triggered an instant "oh my God!" of attraction (there's no such word, I know...) and deep olfactory satisfaction.
I'm still trying to figure out what triggers it for me, it's a very deep base note that hits deep with me, maybe the moss? (Moss is in the fragrance, not musk, the fragrance description is (still?) incorrect.)
Anyway, I then smelled all the scents there (including the store owner's favorite, Vaniglia e Zenzero) because I thought maybe they're all just that good. All very different and ok
(on my arm at some point I can't tell the difference between the ginger vanilla and 2 samples: Vanille Insensée and by Rabanne); also the (sold out there) Pistacchio (something to layer - only with what?) - but no other one triggers this kick in me like the Melograno.
After wearing it on my skin for the first evening, I had doubts as to whether I was really (already) Donna enough for this fragrance. An Italian full woman, racy, with attitude, can wear it and is immediately associated with the fragrance. The fragrance makes me feel smaller than the fragrance. As if you still have to grow into it or your personality isn't there yet. Like shoes that are too big.
Remedy (clear for me): Layering!
I had bought the candidate for this directly from Rituals beforehand anyway: Nuit de L'Himalaya - so that I can forever use it to make my Cašmir Eau de Parfum dupe "Éclat No. 14" wearable, which is so perfectly adapted and better for me than the (current) original or other dupes I've tried so far.
Apparently, the Rituals perfume is the layering king for these heavier fragrances that lack lightness: it brings a bright, fresh, tangy sweetness and Melograno is very good for me. (Blackcurrant, pink pepper and moss are in both, so they blend very well!)
So if you can wear the perfume on its own, you have to be very racy, feminine, a "real woman" - preferably Italian [over 40].
