Nicely severe, with a touch of nostalgia

Wow wow wow… what can I say? This is a powerhouse of a perfume. It’s super severe, with a touch of nostalgia or vintage vibes. No basic white florals here.
There’s this beautiful balsamic twist to an already gorgeous floral note. And I’m really into this take on galbanum — I’ve only really gotten to know it through one perfume (Bruma), so I’m thrilled to smell it again here, and in such a great way.
The longer it wears, the stronger it gets. Green, woody, balsamic…
Absolutely stunning. Honestly, I think it’s perfect for autumn and winter.

Real gardenia

Lady Day was a blind buy. A tricky one, because I don't usually go for these kind of scents. But I'm happy to say it all worked out. The scents of Maria Candida Gentile are so much in line with my preferences that I felt very confident.

Lady Day starts slightly camphorous, bitter and green when first sprayed on. I presume that this is caused by the galbanum. After that the gardenia immediately arrives together with the peru balsam which has a light cinnamon feel to it. The gardenia is very pretty and realistic and it's real gardenia essential oil. It's not the usual white flower scent you might expect though, but more a balsamic scent. Longevity is about 3 hours on me, although very close to the skin I can still smell a trace after 7 hours.

I often need time to understand the fragrances made by MCG and I also needed some time to understand this one. At first it seems very simple, but it's actually more minimalistic and very well crafted. I enjoy it's vibe very much.

I think this will be very pretty in the Summer.
