Autumn in Florence
Florence has a lot to offer when it comes to fragrances, even many unknown ones, like this brand. I have tested Homo novus and Primavera. Both I find very beautiful and successful, but I found this one almost even more beautiful. But I think it's something about the mood. Since I was undecided, I asked others, and everyone thought that Primavera was the more suitable, the more beautiful. Okay.
But how does it smell now?
The first thing I notice about the bottle is something fresh, a gentle lemon, which actually appears first on the skin. Soon the orange is added, but also something green, which however rather appears as a substructure. I like that already very much. Orange is often such a fear opponent of mine, but there are scents where it doesn't smell like orange juice or all-purpose cleaner, e.g. "el cielo sobre la plaza de Oriente", but the orange is much more citric there and quite present and fresh. But it does not have these negative associations.
With Primavera, the orange comes gently and sweet, but not sweetish, because after a few minutes the flowers join in, and I think the honey-like sweetness of the broom is what I get the most. I cannot identify the other flowers individually. But the scent is already quite sweet. Normally I would stop at this point, because I cannot stand Loukhoum on my skin. There are women who can wear it well, but I am not the type and I don't like it either. For a moment I was afraid it might go this way, because heliotrope, Jamin and others can quickly become too much for me.
But then he gets the twist, and although the sweetness is supported by amber and benzoin, there is a fine powdery note that loosens up the whole thing, and it is held by woody notes without getting really woody, which in my opinion would not have fit.
I can't really smell patchouli, but I can imagine that as a base it helps to prevent the fragrance from drifting into the candy segment.
I am amazed at myself that I like this fragrance after all, but now in the wet and cold season it is a real skin caress, warm and round, a smile with full lips and rosy cheeks, very feminine. It's hard to imagine it on a man, but who knows....I do imagine a very fine smoky look that might come out more on a man's skin.
While thinking about which direction, which other fragrances one could compare Primavera with, I briefly thought of some of Mrs. Mecheri's fragrances. But they were always too dense, heavy, thick, i.e. too opulent. Primavera has more airiness, is easier for me to wear, and still has a round, full femininity.
The fragrance becomes softer and softer with wear, a little powdery, and retains its warm sweetness. For me an autumn and winter scent that lasts long on the skin. Used sparingly, you can enjoy it for yourself, but when applied lavishly, it is well perceived.
