I want more!

It happens very rarely that after testing a sample I say: "I need a bottle!" Usually, a 5 or 10ml sample is enough for me at first. Not this time! Since L'Erbolario perfumes are quite affordable anyway, I immediately purchased a 100ml bottle.
However, I notice that the sample had a different effect on me: significantly more floral, though by no means sweet. When wearing the perfume from the bottle today, I initially encountered a somewhat sharp citrus scent - which I didn't notice in the sample. But the floral and fresh notes soon make their presence known and linger for a long time. Although I perceive it as floral, I would never classify "Frescaessenza" in the family of pink or white, often slightly sweet, floral scents; it is too "green" for that. I don't really find the perfume woody, but it's possible that the base contributes to its unsweetened character.
F. has a noticeable presence (which is not always the case with the brand), but it doesn't come across as overpowering. A lovely unisex spring scent for daytime. After "Dolcelisir," it's my favorite from this brand.
The only downside for me is the bottle! It looks bulky and carelessly designed. L'Erbolario can definitely do better!

I have the 50 ml bottle and I find it high-quality; it feels nice in the hand.

This has happened to me before. Maybe some scents lose their potency during bottling and while stored in the containers...

They are really crazy expensive, that's true.
