Whisky Nobile Farmacia SS. Annunziata

First of all, I think the fragrance is really cool.

You are immediately greeted with a sophisticated whisky note. The cocoa, or as I often perceive it, the hazelnut, is not long in coming and embraces the whisky in a harmonious way. The drydown reveals a slight sweetness from the saffron, but the previous whisky/cocoa/hazelnut notes are not lost.

The fragrance is special, I have never smelled anything like it before. It is by no means subtle, but I wouldn't see it as a scream in the face either, rather a good average.

However, you should know beforehand what you are getting into. The fragrance will certainly not appeal to everyone, and there is no question of a classic "crowd pleaser" here.

The longevity is very good, I usually smell it throughout the day, applied in the morning and in the evening in bed I can still smell it (not too strongly of course).

At approx. 150€ RRP (100ml each), the fragrance is definitely "good value".

However, I would strongly advise against buying it blind, it's best to get a small bottle and see if the fragrance is made for you.
