Wearable concept equate: theme hit - after the second sniff!
In the hope of finding a relevant new discovery this year after all, I ordered the large Sorcinelli Discovery set with all six mist and rain fragrances (Nebbia & Pioggia), as well as six other fragrances from the house that had long been on my watch list.
I tested the fragrance blind, i.e. without knowing which of the 12 samples I had under my nose at the time.
On the blotter strip, the fragrance smelled very synthetic, especially at the beginning, in the direction of bathroom cleaner without citrus. As a result, the fragrance went straight to the bottom of my mental ranking.
After testing other fragrances from the set, I wanted to give Nebbia Spessa the all-important second chance on my skin.
Et voilà ! The fragrance (worn on the skin) moved up one place in my mental ranking every hour.
Describing the fragrance in words is not exactly easy. However, I will try to describe the emotions and associations it evoked in me.
In the first five minutes after spraying it on my skin, I found the fragrance very unpleasant. It reminded me of a kind of cleansing foam that you use in the bath, only without the citrus note. So rather pungent, sharp, synthetic. But then it becomes much tamer.
After about 30 minutes on the skin, the fragrance developed every 30 minutes into an increasingly beautiful fragrance experience. The fragrance then remains fairly linear and hardly changes at all, which is not meant in a negative way.
After about 2 hours, the fragrance reaches the most authentic phase of what it wants to be for my nose: a secondary fragrance with a dewdrop accord:
The scent that enters my nose is cool, vibrant, maximally atomized, densely foggy water in the air, whose moisture is permeated by slightly green (lichen?) hints. I feel as if the finest molecules are celebrating an almost flood-like party in my nose together with fresh, cool, oxygen-rich air that lasts until the next morning.
I sprayed the fragrance on at around 4pm and it was still clearly perceptible the next morning and, so to speak, unchanged. Perhaps a little flatter and no longer as vibrant, but definitely still clearly perceptible - albeit close to the skin. In this respect, I can confirm that the fragrance lasts long enough on my skin, with a sillage that is not excessive. The projection of this artistic concept fragrance is also not unpleasant and, in my opinion, fits the DNA of the fragrance. After all, fog is also present and visible, but it doesn't scream at you!
In my opinion, the fragrance is absolutely unisex and can be worn by all age groups. And yes, the fragrance is generally absolutely wearable on many occasions. Personally, I see the fragrance primarily as a leisure fragrance, especially in spring and summer. I think it is certainly still a pleasant companion at the beginning of fall, and for some people it will certainly also be a good companion at work.
The bottle is very artistic, typical of Filippo Sorcinelli, although it is one of the simpler bottles, which is also reflected in the price. To what extent the contents are affected by the fog effect in the liquid due to the admixture of - whatever - I am unable to assess.
All in all, a very positive fragrance experience. The fragrance hits the mark and does indeed smell to me like I would imagine dewdrops in a foggy, green environment. Even if you don't know the concept, the name and the notes before smelling it, the intended scent impressions definitely come to mind. A beautiful bottle, sufficiently good performance and a price at the lower end of the Sorcinelli spectrum make the fragrance quite interesting (for me).
Cheers!
