Finisterre Maria Candida Gentile 2013

But yes, I mean the headline very seriously and was also surprised that it developed this way.
The top notes are spicy, herb-fresh, and promising. A fresh breeze.
So far, so good. After a maximum of an hour, a scent remains on my skin that is pleasantly soft, warm, with an aquatic touch. And just like that (I swear), my skin smells after a shower with a shower gel called "Meeresrauschen," some limited edition I got this summer. Of course, the shower gel doesn’t have a scent progression and the fragrance doesn’t linger on the skin for long, yet I was surprised by the scent twin.
And there’s another twin: Corallo by Profumi di Pantelleria smells almost identical in the base. I compared the two side by side again because I thought I had picked up the wrong sample. The difference with Corallo is that it starts much more citrusy in the top notes.
If the fresh breeze lasted a bit longer, Finisterre would perform better for me. I wish it wouldn’t fade into the banal so quickly and would present a few darker and sweeter notes (oak moss, algae, jasmine?) in the base.
Nevertheless, it has something, and if it weren't for the shower gel association... who knows, maybe a mini would move in with me. That spot would then be taken by Sideris, which I have liked the most from the MCG so far.
