Italian know-how
The package arrived today. Genny Noir, a dear perfumista sold it to me cheaply. My dear thanks go to Demeter1003.
The fragrance is simply brilliantly made, there's no other way to put it. I already have it, but today it really "drove me in" again
What is scratchy and bristly for some is a chypre of the most pleasant, softest, roundest kind for others (I count myself among them). A fragrance that is no longer produced in this form today, which is more than regrettable.
Of course, you have to like chypre fragrances, otherwise you are at a loss here. It is spicy, green-floral, velvety, sophisticated, elegant, a timeless classic of the finest kind
These unripe (meant in the best sense) "petitgrain-lemon" notes, which initially exude a fragrance that somehow immediately transports you to Italy, this spicy aroma that - as I learned - emanates from cardamom, the osmanthus scent, so multi-faceted and floral-woody that it is a real pleasure, leave me smiling delightfully.
Add to that, of course (just has to be there) warm, gently fragrant jasmine, paired with joyful, sunny rose, it's simply beautiful, floral-spicy-elegant. I can only repeat myself.
The brilliant ending is also impressive, because the combination of the slightly earthy labdanum with just the right dose of ambergris and patchouli as well as oakmoss is the fragrance paradise par excellence for me.
A relaxed, yet very self-confident fragrance that the Italians know how to create masterfully and that you really can/will/should wear with great pride.
