Chinotto di Liguria Acqua di Parma 2018

The question of which fragrances can be preferred by men or women leads to endless discussions about attributions, gender identities, and roles. I will relieve the discourse at this point and postulate that it is not necessary, so I will not write anything about it or discuss it here.
With one exception: the question of what makes a man or "oneself" feel comfortable. For me personally, a boundary is often crossed when a fragrance exhibits a strong dominance of white flowers: tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, gardenia, tiare, lily of the valley, daffodil, orange blossom... I suspect that most men feel similarly. Conversely, this also means for me: fragrances that contain the aforementioned notes are a special challenge for perfumers and particularly appealing for tolerant wearers (this is not a generic masculine here). In other words: if it is possible to incorporate a strong white flower note into men's fragrances without immediately thinking of a women's fragrance, then a small, unwieldy work of art has been created. In the past, I have often dealt with men's fragrances that contained a noticeable, but masculinely interpreted, tuberose component (see my comments on Aftelier's Cepes & Tuberose, Baruti's Voyance, especially Jardin d'Écrivains Marlowe) as well as my special collection "Tuberose XY":

I am particularly grateful to Terra for the inquiry in his recent blog about which fragrances with classic white flower components (jasmine, ylang, orange blossom, etc.) would be suitable as men's fragrances for summer. For myself (and interested parties), I have also created a - naturally manageable - collection for this variant, namely "White Flowers XY":

Further tips can be found in Terra's exciting blog.
By the way, the classic variant, the cologne with its high neroli content, was excluded from this thread. Of course, many other fragrances with white flower notes can be found in this Cologne segment that can be wonderfully worn by men. I personally love this fragrance archetype very much! However, it should not concern us here and now.

One of the fragrances that I spontaneously placed in the aforementioned White Flowers XY collection is Acqua di Parma's Chinotto di Liguria, which I was thankfully made aware of by Couchlock with a sample.

For me, this fragrance is therefore one of the particularly interesting representatives of men's suitable white flower fragrances (for summer) because it explores the prominence of jasmine, which plays the role of the white flower here, to the edge of what is compatible for men's fragrances. The jasmine is primarily contained by a bitter-sour note, which presumably comes from chinotto (see ingredients), a variety of bitter orange, as I now know. Responsible for the masculine part would perhaps also be the spicy-green note, which reminds me a bit of Maitre Parfumeur et Gantiers' almost lost (but fortunately in my collection) Baimé. However, the culinary herbs there are so pronounced that I have removed it from the aforementioned collection. Baimé is actually almost better suited for winter.

Is there anything else to say about Chinotto di Liguria? Actually only that it will certainly polarize, as can already be seen from the previous comments and statements, and that I personally like it very much. For open-minded men, a clear recommendation to test - as are almost all from the blue AdP line!
