Feminine fragrance?
Sometimes the look of the bottle and its contents can send different signals. I have experienced this several times. I have had this decant for some time and today was the day to try it out.
To my nose this is a unisex fragrance leaning to the masculine side. Juniper berry and Frankincense are both strong from the beginning and I am not a huge fan of these. After an hour it becomes more smooth and quiet, loosing its sharpness and growing into a more flowery scent, especially the frangipani note stepping up. Luckily, this gets better with the hours but it never becomes good, imho.
The sillage is above average, longevity is around 4-5 hours.
The bottle is really beautiful; romantic with a 19th century feeling. Kudos to Luigi Bormioli for doing such a great job. However, this is not a fragrance I shall revisit for a long time.
