Via Verri forever
Today, it's unimaginable for me how difficult I found the Etro fragrances at the beginning. I tested Via Verri, Vicolo Fiori, Rajasthan, Magot, Shaal Nur, Paisley, Jacquard, New Tradition. And all of them multiple times on my skin, over and over again - and all the other Etros that were in the perfumery, at least sprayed on test strips and manically waved in front of my nose. It should be added that my scent excursions usually take place during my lunch break. I have to smell quickly, decide quickly, and spray quickly. And a person only has two arms... What a shame!
So: Weeks later, it finally happened: Via Verri became my gateway drug into the world of Etros. And it is still one of my favorites.
It starts with an unconventionally strong pinch of pepper, underlaid with something fresh and floral that I would never identify as jasmine in my life. More like rose to my nose. I also quickly pick out the cardamom, and actually, these components summarize the scent for me: pepper, cardamom, something fresh and floral, and (unfortunately after a bit too short a time) then soft musk and a little wood: but it’s not sandalwood, it must be cypriol - of which I have no idea how it smells on its own.
The pepper provides the spice, the cardamom is fresh-green-grassy to my nose, and the flowers give the scent delicacy, elegance, and lightness.
For women who prefer floral-sweet scents, this fragrance is probably not the right one. I find it perfect with its balanced mix of a little bitter, a little spicy, a little floral, and thoroughly unconventional for me. The only downside for me is the longevity. After a few hours, it’s gone - and with me, re-spraying doesn’t bring back that special freshness and lightness of the scent.
Despite or maybe even a bit because of its fleetingness: One of my absolute favorites!
