Scent

At the foot of the volcano

While searching for a skin scent I came across the South of Mendittorosa and read a lot about the scents of this less known brand. As a result I simply had to order samples of South, Alfa and Archetipo - and I must say it was worth it! All three are really beautiful fragrance experiences and none like the other.
But now to the Archetipo: The start is already wooded, whereby quite fast something smoky-earthy is added to it, which then also further on shapes the picture. Spontaneously it reminded me of Terroni from Orto Parisi. Anyway, I have red, volcanic earth in front of my eyes or nose. Maybe a little shale, too. With Terroni such a red wine note is added, here it becomes rather woody and warmer as the fragrance develops. But there remains fine, spicy smoke and I mean to smell oakmoss, especially in the later fragrance. A really beautiful incense scent, which is thank God not so heavy and penetrating, as when the priest lets it really crack at Easter and the lambs are standing or kneeling in rows shortly before fainting. This one is much lighter but still serious. And it is not ONLY incense, but always also earth and resin and some "green".
A wonderful fragrance with a great balance, which in my opinion should not deter anyone. Thanks to very nice durability and silage, neither loud nor too discreet, very portable. Noble and full of character.
