Fragrances and breasts
Okay, before especially the ladies want to behead me right away because of my title, so I have to defend myself first by saying that I saw a lot of breasts while researching for this fragrance! Why? Quite simply, the fragrance here is called Cortigiana. What may sound like a coastal town in Italy or something like that, in reality means courtesan. You know, these were women until the 19th century, who offered their services mainly to the nobility or otherwise wealthy people and were often quite educated themselves and had, among other things, a considerable influence on powerful men.
And well... if you search for courtesans and above all "research" in the Google image search, then you will see photos, well actually rather renaissance paintings, of permissive women, where especially the breasts are visible, um, well, now and then at least! And honestly, who has anything against breasts? So... you still want to cut my head off? No, you better not tell me!
But I prefer to come to this scent of Il Profvmo and hope that it smells reasonably good. Because especially Il Profvmo has some nice scents to offer, but I also think that the scents of this brand can sometimes have a very special scent, which is exactly the right thing for those of you who want to have something different under your nose than "the usual stuff". All right, I'll get started
Every now and then I perceive a very light, greenish-bitter note, although this can only happen to me because this fragrance is very weak anyway.
In the base, these green-tangy scents seem to gain some intensity, so I think that they start to smell stronger because of the "herbs" mentioned. Besides, the fragrance is still floral-powdery and also sweetish. Since the fragrance is not so heavy, I find that the herbs also go well with the floral and sweet scents, giving the impression of a nice spring or summer.
The silage and the durability:*
The Sillage is medium, well maybe a little bit more than that and therefore leaves a cloud of scent, even if it should be smaller. Nevertheless, you will be able to perceive the scent well for a while, at least up close. I found the shelf life of about six or seven hours quite okay.
The fact is, however, that this fragrance is not so special as to have disturbing or slightly inappropriate notes, but rather smells quite nice and gives a nice, fresh impression. I think it's just great that it smells of soft, flowery-powdery and of course sweetish scents and gives a summery freshness without being citric. The herbs, which start off weakly and later smell a little better, reinforce the summery impression.
It's almost as if, for example, on a summer evening, you're having a nice dinner or just going for a walk, especially somewhere in a holiday resort, and there you notice the nice flowery scents and herb gardens in the warm air. Of course all mixed with a portion of powder, which every now and then gives the impression of walking past a brothel (and that was a joke!!! :DD). Heh heh, in any case the fragrance is quite recommendable, especially for those who don't mind powdery scents.
And that's it! I wish you all a great evening, watch out for the storm and I'm going to look for more... courtesan pictures... :DD
