Bleach in my bubble bath
Potent citrus-iris-moss composition, so bright and sharp that you can almost hear it squeak.
L'Attesa has a lot going for it. The prominence of the iris. The strength of its fizzy first impression. The cool, detached, angular, slightly melancholic vibe. The evocation of cleanliness without veering into dreaded "freshie" territory. The excellent performance: it projects wildly for the first two to three hours and clings to fabric like mad.
I wanted to like L'Attesa more than I did, but the aforementioned sharpness ended up being the downfall of the fragrance for me. A few hours in, I felt fatigued by this relentless harshness, as if someone had tipped a cap full of bleach into my bubble bath.
With that said, I would probably enjoy smelling this on someone else – at a safe distance – and recommend that iris enthusiasts give it a try.
