Borsari versus Borsari, Round 1
With a small sample of the fragrance Lampone, Fior di Mielo e Semi di Cacao from Borsari, my renewed journey into the world of scents began a few years ago. I still own my "old fragrance collection from the late eighties and early nineties," but now I was completely caught up in the fragrance craze. I find this hobby so exciting and have already infected my whole family with it. Many of the scents that weren't quite my style suited my daughter well. My son now has a larger fragrance collection, and even my husband, who hardly ever wore perfume until a few years ago, now owns a total of 7 fragrances, which he actually uses.
So, somehow I got my hands on this sample (I didn't know parfumo back then) and was thrilled by the scent. Unfortunately, the Borsari brand was not available anywhere near us. But a small perfumery in Munich carried this fragrance line. So off I went to Munich, which isn't that far from NRW. The very friendly owner joyfully introduced me to the Borsari fragrances. At that time, I bought the Lampone scent and received a sample of the Calla scent as a gift (which I found too intense back then - I should try it again today) and also had the Rosa e Pepe on my skin. And somehow, it just never really left me all these years.
Gradually, more and more Borsari fragrances joined my collection. And some time ago, the Floralia line from Borsari, which wasn't even listed on parfumo, came into play. I submitted the four fragrances, but I couldn't find any information about the notes for the Rosa Regina scent. However, during the processing, someone must have found it, and the notes were listed. And what did I see: the same pyramid as the Rosa e Pepe. Hmm, how did that one smell again? The test was long ago, but the scent was still on my watchlist. And no one on parfumo owns the scent - what a shame! Such things keep me up at night; I can't have that... Yes, and then I just bought the Rosa e Pepe! And tested both together!
What can I say! Somehow I'm a bit disappointed now! The scent that was beautifully etched in my memory has unfortunately lost its "wonder." It is nice. But it pales in comparison to the Floralia - Rosa Regina. What I can sniff on my left arm, you can best read about in Floralia - Rosa Regina.
On my right arm, I smell a slightly peppery, mandarin, lightly sparkling scent from Rosa e Pepe. Yes, and it stays that way; unfortunately, not much happens. Sometimes a light peppery scent wafts past my nose, sometimes a brief lipstick accord, but that's about it. What a pity - I had such a BEAUTIFUL memory of it. That's how it goes. To be honest, I could have saved myself this purchase! But I had to know. In fairness to the comparison, one must/can consider that Rosa e Pepe is a Cologne, while the other rose scent is an Eau de Toilette. But on the other hand, that doesn't diminish the strength of the other Borsari fragrances, like the Black Calla; that's certainly not the issue.
What can you do, every little drop finds its lid - or vice versa!
