Rarely have I been so excited about a Discovery set...
Now it's with me and the first tests have been carried out.
Adam & Eve's Dress and this one, Esco Pazzo, were the first to find a place on my skin.
And what can I say, two direct hits, two exciting fragrances from a brand that now interests me even more. But, one fragrance at a time. Here and now a few words about Esco Pazzo.
I sprayed on the Italian friend and initially had only one thought: Dad! I have to open up a little about this, but at the same time I would like to use the review to show that fragrances can be much more than just luxury water or a simple smell.
My dear dad sadly passed away a few years ago, far too young.
He was a real character, stubborn, very emotional and yet loving and sensitive, even if he never wanted to admit it.
Every Saturday, really every Saturday, he made himself comfortable on the sofa in the evening and took out a fine wooden box from the living room cupboard, where I couldn't reach it as a boy.
In it he kept very fine cigars, a pipe and the corresponding tobacco.
I don't know why, but I always found it exciting back then and was always there when the box came out.
Esco Pazzo took me back mentally and emotionally to that very moment.
I hadn't thought about it for years, probably decades, and bang, the thought was there and the memory was there in all its glory.
For me, Esco Pazzo brings back the exact scent of the cigars from back then, my father's cigars. And we're not talking about the lit cigar here, no.
We're talking about the cigar in its intact state, that dry, very dry, spicy tobacco scent that I always clearly distinguished from pipe tobacco.
Even back then, I would hang on to the cigar with my nose before my father could light it, sometimes only many minutes later.
As some previous speakers have already said, yes, the scent is difficult to describe, but a fine, unlit cigar is a wonderful description. The fragrance is very dry, very masculine, somewhat spicy and certainly has a few vintage vibes in it, probably also due to a perfectly used lavender, which I can still recognize in the background.
I can't really clearly identify the other notes, at least I don't recognize any saffron here, which is usually very dominant and noticeable.
For me, the fragrance is therefore excellently balanced, it is special, but it is also unique, it is not off the peg! I have never smelled a comparable fragrance before, otherwise the thoughts from my youth would have shot up so explosively.
Esco Pazzo can be perfectly combined with a number of business styles towards fall, it underpins and reinforces a gentleman who not only wants to smell clean, but also wants to hint at a few rough edges without being a daredevil.
But it can also be used as a cuddly fragrance in colder months, with a turtleneck sweater and blanket on the sofa, a good movie and nice company.
The fragrance is present, but not loud. It lingers on my skin for 6-7 hours with two sprays.
Thank you for this great memory, Lorenzo Pazzaglia!
