Frescaessenza, a Compliment Bringer
As some of you may know, I have a fondness for L’Erbolaria fragrances and am already familiar with several of them. Only two or three haven't appealed to me so much, but they were not "complete failures." The fragrances from L‘Erbolario are vegan, cruelty-free, and the company emphasizes environmental awareness in their production - at least that’s what they promote, and I hope it’s true. I am always skeptical, as there is often a vast difference between advertising and reality.
Frescaessenza was a blind purchase for me a few weeks ago. The description sounded to my taste, and Serafina's first statement about the fragrance sealed the deal. Frescaessenza translates to "fresh essence." I can only agree; the scent has a fresh and friendly essence. A juicy and slightly sweet orange dominates the fresh opening and remains perceptible in the background throughout the fragrance's development. The heart is slightly powdery due to the iris, the rose is only faintly fragrant, and I cannot detect the lilac. The base reveals itself as an aromatic and deeply pure affair. The musk in Frescaessenza belongs to the clean faction and comes across to me as a "cozy and freshly showered feeling," but it does not smell soapy. Here, Frescaessenza was initially described as a woody-fresh fragrance; I perceive the woody note only faintly and on the periphery, however, my nose often shuts down with woody scents, meaning I smell woods rather weakly, sometimes not at all. This has now changed to fresh-green, which describes it better. For me, Frescaessenza is more of a fruity-floral fragrance, with mild, delicate green notes, ideal for hot temperatures. I rate the sillage and longevity as medium, and the scent is also suitable for men.
Oh yes, the fragrance also brings compliments; my colleagues found it pleasantly appealing, and the two-year-old toddler of my neighbors snuggled up on my arm quite comfortably. "Mrs. Nikolaus, you smell so good." That’s my name since I placed something in front of Nikolaus's door :o)

Allerdings wird er auf der engl. Fragrantica-Seite mit Light Blue verglichen. Ist da Ambroxan drin? Dann ist er eher nichts für mich.
