Amalfi or Torino?

Aura of Amalfi moved in with me quite early, together with the Tales of Torino.
Thanks to the pre-sale, they have been with me for some time now, and I have had the chance to test the fragrances repeatedly. I really liked the Tales of Torino. I also like the Aura of Amalfi, but Torino remains my favorite.

Aura of Amalfi has a fresh, aquatic vein with sweet undertones. Over time, it even gains creamy and "warm" facets. The scent gives me a certain shower gel vibe.
This shower gel is quite, quite good, but somehow it has slight hints of that. I must admit I hoped not to get such vibes.
Why? Because by now, many summer fragrances have this shower gel vibe, and I have slowly become a bit tired of it.
That doesn't mean I think it's bad now!

After the scent starts with this aquatic freshness, it shifts over time into a sweet, warm direction with creamy nuances. At least, that's my personal feeling on my skin.
The fruity notes come across relatively subtly.
They are there, but not particularly expressive. The pepper adds some edges and contours, while still remaining totally smooth and pleasant.

As already mentioned, the scent gains warm undertones.
The fragrance becomes creamier and also woodier. The sandalwood makes its presence felt. Additionally, the scent even takes on almost powdery accents.
Suspicious signs of cashmere, hehe.

The crazy thing about Aura of Amalfi for me personally was that it smelled completely different on the test strip compared to my skin, really totally different. On the test strip, the scent struck me as purely aquatic and fresh. Even for a long time!
On my skin, however, it is the case at first, but after a relatively short time (about 5-10 minutes), you can directly sense the creamy undertones. You immediately notice that the scent is changing.

Performance-wise, it’s the same for me as with the Tales of Torino. They don’t seem to work well on my skin. I rarely have this problem with Birkholz otherwise. However, these two new fragrances seem to have issues with my skin. The Aura of Amalfi appears very strong and powerful on the vaporizer. It also lasted a long time on the test strip.
Unfortunately, my skin doesn’t want to cooperate!

Unisex?
Definitely!
