A Tomato Plant to Spray On
I stumbled upon this fragrance after receiving a free sample as part of a promotional campaign. I'm quite glad about this coincidence because this scent has quickly become one of my current favorites.
SCENT:
When I close my eyes after applying the fragrance, I am instantly transported back to my childhood. In the small town where I grew up, there is an Italian restaurant. It was run by an old Italian gentleman. He grew his tomatoes in the restaurant's garden, and when I was little, we were sometimes allowed to play there and take home fresh tomatoes. This fragrance perfectly reflects that. Fresh tomato plants and a hint of earth. It truly is a "Memory in a Fragrance" for me.
The scent is very sweet when it is still in the bottle. To be honest, smelling the bottle doesn't really appeal to me. Too intense and sweet. But this fragrance really unfolds when applied to the skin and has had some time to develop.
The initial sweetness fades quite quickly, and you are left with the fresh scent of tomato leaves, with a hint of citrus and slightly spicy notes. It smells quite natural to me.
LONGEVITY & SILLAGE:
I'm unsure how to quantify my experience here. I would start by mentioning that it is one of the perfumes that my friends perceive more strongly and that I have been approached about. Whether this is due to the unique nature of the fragrance or the sillage, I do not know. In terms of longevity, I would say it is quite good. I like it when my fragrance is at least slightly noticeable to me. If I apply this scent at 9:00 AM, I would probably want to reapply about 6 or 7 hours later and be done for the day. In comparison: ADP Fico de Amalfi would need a reapplication after about 4 hours. However, I often feel that my experience regarding longevity differs from that of others.
BOTTLE:
Maison Margiela sprayers are great. They look perfect, work well, and you can unscrew the sprayer part. For me, the optimal sprayer (except when traveling).
I am !very! satisfied with this fragrance and hope it receives the recognition it deserves.

I can understand your enthusiasm! The scent really blew me away. The way it captures the smell of freshly harvested tomatoes and their leaves so authentically... It just arrived at my place today.
