Delicate-elegant, green fig scent with a lot of warmth in the dry down
The fig leaf is beautifully fresh and green at the start, alongside gentle, not too sour citrus fruit, also rather greenish, the bergamot with a lot of peel, and the lemon still has half of its greenery attached. Invigorating and beneficial.
10-15 minutes in, a subtle floral note begins to spread, yellowish-green, creating a nice transition, the fig initially very discreet, more of a memory of one, dry, delicate, as if you might be smelling the outside of one that hasn’t opened yet.
30-45 minutes, the fig slowly becomes more present, but remains rather dry and slightly powdery, instead of juicy-fresh, daffodil and the first hints of delicate sandalwood make their presence known, everything very elegant and calm, almost cozy.
1-1.5h: Guaiac wood, amber, and musk also join in subtly (as with everything here), enhancing the coziness, adding a slight acidity that prevents it from becoming too sweet. I find it completely exaggerated to mention "ash" as a note; I don’t know where the ash is supposed to come from.
Like almost all from Chiello, except for the Ragus and the Hysteria, very elegant and beautifully composed, but a bit too soft-cozy for me after more than an hour. For seekers who are not bothered by this, or who are looking for such beautifully delicate scents, I can recommend it.
For me, it’s also relatively unisex, maybe 60:40 in favor of women, but I’ve had much more distinctly unisex scents.
