Recently, I had classified this little water as drugstore material, but I promised a revision. Today, I believe it is quite special, but successful. What Marterosso conveys is a classically beautifully structured freshness, a flower well embedded in herbs with a hint of sweetness. Even now, in summer temperatures, with sweat from sports, I find no aversion. Perhaps I just feel comfortable with the scent, and that is attractive?
It is simply a good thing. One might say it is a fougère, but not from the mild meadows, rather powerful like Azzaro Pour Homme with a bitter grassy, medicinal floral note. The base is also immediately leathery, spicy. Strikingly unobtrusive, for daily use.
