The One Who Speaks with Umberto Eco
As he stands there in front of the shelves - at Feltrinelli or in another bookstore, absorbed in an essay by Umberto Eco or Dario Fo, his forehead furrowed and his bag between his knees - he seems a bit out of place among the bustling people, the students with their tote bags and the mothers with strollers, all of whom have to navigate around him. He doesn’t even notice - not because he is thoughtless or inconsiderate - but because he is engaged in a dialogue with Umberto Eco or Dario Fo. Only once does he briefly look up and clear the way when someone cautiously says, 'Scusi, professore...'
He wears his formerly dark curls a bit longer - and even in his trimmed full beard, a bit of gray now glimmers here and there. Most often, you see him walking through Bologna's arcades in worn jackets, but anyone who looks closer will notice that he wears good, well-kept shoes. Overall, he is quite an attractive man - albeit completely unpretentious, at least regarding appearances - if one has a weakness for lanky literature professors in their fifties with checkered shirts and a battered leather bag. However, one has never heard of any flings - let alone with female students.
Acqua di Genova's 1853 Men is a fragrance for someone like him. Literary scholar. Art historian. Perhaps a medievalist. Possibly (but not necessarily) Italian. Of at most medium intensity - one might almost think it is a Cologne - it also seems a bit out of place among contemporary fragrances. Full of old-fashioned charm, it combines hesperidic elegance with the almost humorously reminiscent quote of a Fougères. A wonderfully calm and self-assured scent from Italy's back row - which does it both a disservice and can hardly be regretted - as it does not aspire to be cool or even sexy.
Conclusion: a delightfully old- and unfashionable - can one say that? - intellectual scent. But also perhaps a discovery for all those who do not like (or are not) literature professors in checkered shirts.
