Gods of Rivers and Streams
Arge, Aurelia, Ceo, Crio, Dasos, Phoebe, Hades, Hera, Hestia, Hyades, Hyperion, Kronos, Mnemosyne, Rhea, Stereope, Teia, Thetis, Themis - all characters from Greek mythology, all perfume names from Giardino Benessere.
And finally, in 2024, the last one appeared, the Potamoi - part of the "Titani" collection.
The Potamoi (Ancient Greek: Ποταμοί, romanized: Potamoí, literally "Rivers") are the gods of the rivers and streams of the Earth in Greek mythology.
The river gods were the 3000 sons of the great earth-circling river Oceanus and his wife Tethys, as well as the brothers of the Oceanids. They were also the fathers of the Naiads. The river gods were depicted in one of three forms: as a bull with a human head, as a man with a bull's head and the body of a snake-like fish from the waist down, or as a reclining man whose arm rests on an amphora pouring out water.
"Terenzi, really? What do these names have to do with your fragrances?" Is there a real explanation?..
Back to our topic, the new 2024 release.
The bottle looks better in reality than in the picture posted by Parfumo. (see my picture of the bottle). Dark green, matte, almost the shape of an alcohol flask, it fits very well in the hand and is easy to carry. The spray head is good to very good, almost comparable to the sprayer of Dior bottles, I would say.
The scent
Here at Parfumo, in terms of fragrance direction, it impresses in the middle, with a big point at the front, almost like a warning!, SYNTHETIC.
On the first spray, a lavender note dominates. Initially very fresh and yes, slightly synthetic. Not synthetic like, for example, "Invictus Platinum | Paco Rabanne," which I can no longer stand after getting to know niche fragrances, but also not extremely bad.
On the contrary, the lavender is reminiscent of "Lavender Extrême | Tom Ford," which smells like freshly picked lavender.
In the first 2 minutes, everything becomes fresh-sweet, my nose picks up the cardamom. All at once, maybe too sweet. A cardamom like that from "La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Yves Saint Laurent." I continue to smell my wrist and read bergamot and suddenly I start to smell that too. Very faintly, shyly. I wish cardamom hadn't shown its presence here. It would have been better if the bergamot had been stronger.
This whole fresh-sweet-synthetic (but not very synthetic) etc. combination lasts only about 15 minutes.
Over time, the scent becomes much more beautiful. What I smell the most here is coconut and I can already remember "Malibù - Party in the Bay | Simone Andreoli." But it's not just that, there's more. The scent does not become as sweet as the aforementioned. Predominantly the peach that I perceive here and the rest of the notes, listed here but of which my nose only perceives the rose in the background, make the scent complex but somehow calmer (less coconutty). Since I know and miss "Malibù - Party in the Bay | Simone Andreoli," I would have liked to have more of that here.
With about 5-6 proper sprays over skin and clothes, I get a subtle sillage in the first 2 hours. After about 8 hours later, I can no longer mention anything about sillage. What remains is a pleasant sweet-light woody note, my nose suspects, of caramel and sandalwood.
A summer scent? Yes, maybe, but rather in the evening and not in the heat, as it can become slightly suffocating. It remains a fresh-sweet but more sweet scent. Although labeled unisex, I prefer to see it worn by a lady.
P/L: in my opinion, it is not worth paying €235 for the scent. For that price, I would rather, as mentioned, get 2 bottles of "Malibù - Party in the Bay | Simone Andreoli." (just personal opinion). - less complex, but definitely more coconut.
In conclusion, I would like to thank Kai Porten, who offered me this perfume at a more than perfect price.
