A Slightly Musky Moss-Cinnamon Torero
The rather rare case of a Spanish fragrance that comes under your nose here. One immediately notices how strongly the French and Italians dominate the perfume market.
What’s strange about this scent is the rapid change of the individual phases. In the first 2 minutes, a juicy, rich lemon overwhelms you, surrounded by lavender.
This is pleasing and makes one expect a fine summer fragrance.
And then...bam! As if someone flipped a switch - the opening suddenly falls apart and tips towards nutmeg. Oh, this is not for me, and it was not to be expected after the opening either.
The nutmeg note has a somewhat dusty spice rack character, somehow pressing.
What a pity, this transformation. Although the fragrance overall comes across as rather light-footed, it’s too musky for me. In the background, a hint of cinnamon emerges and takes away some of the urgency from the nutmeg.
Still - on my skin, the impression of spices remains. Eventually, a bit of moss appears, accompanied by subtle wood nuances.
So, the Torero doesn’t really suit me for the reasons mentioned.
