Longevity at the expense of the scent
Preliminary remark:
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to wear Fico di Amalfi for longer and have only tested it briefly at Douglas, so I cannot make a comparison.
The Fico di Amalfi La Riserva leaves me divided in two.
On the one hand, it has a full green fig, which can be perceived from the beginning to the end. In my opinion, the longevity and sillage are above average and the fig lingers much longer on the body than with Fico Nero, for example. In addition, the fragrance is complemented by pleasant citrus notes for the first 2 hours, especially the grapefruit, which I notice in a positive way. The result is a simple, but not too monotonous progression.
On the other hand, the fragrance becomes heavier and heavier for me as I wear it. The citrus disappears, the tonka bean prevails. The creaminess increases and robs the refresher its strength. It does have a longlasting effect, but at the expense of freshness.
Overall, it remains a good fragrance for me. However, if I had to choose, I would prefer a short, light pleasure with Fico Nero.
