Generic smelling, expensive, but still well blended.
Personal: 6/10 – An unusual mix of iris, suede, and powder with a mineralic/ozonic twist and rose. It's a blend of things I usually dislike, but here it gets a pass, since it's at least wearable.
Mass appeal: 6.5/10 – This one is definitely niche. The powdery iris and mineralic-suede edge won’t click with most people, though it has a refined aura. I don't think anyone will truly hate it, though.
Performance: 7.5/10 – Moderate longevity and projection. It holds steady for several hours without overwhelming those around you.
Value: 3/10 – Mendittorosa prices are very high, and unless you LOVE this, it's impossible to justify over layering a solid musky iris fragrance with something rose heavy to accomplish a similar effect.
Uniqueness: 8.5/10 – Iris + suede with a mineralic, spacey, abstract twist is definitely unusual. Few fragrances feel this otherworldly.
SCORE: 63/100
Full bottle buy? NO, too powdery and abstract for my taste. And way too pricey.
Blind buy? NO, too unusual and pricey to risk. Even if it were safer, at this price, absolutely not.
Recommend? NO, even if you like iris-suede with a mineralic/airy character.
Date night? NO, it’s too cold and distant to feel romantic.
Office safe? YES, if used lightly. It’s refined and not too loud, though abstract.
Pros: Unique iris-suede-mineralic DNA, refined aura, nicely balanced performance.
Cons: Exceedingly pricey, not mass appealing, leans too powdery/abstract for most.
Nettuno feels like Mendittorosa’s attempt at creating a celestial iris. It's airy, mineralic, and refined, with suede grounding it in a slightly leathery base. It’s smooth, cold, and distant, like a fragrance designed to smell futuristic or alien. I admire how different, and distinct from other fragrances with similar accords it is. By no means my favorite fragrance, but it's something that I feel is worth smelling. Its performance is balanced and reasonable, it evolves nicely into a progressively more metallic rose vibe while keeping the suede underneath. This fragrance is more a feeling than it is a smell, plus there's a bit of an iodine medicinal edge that adds to the weirdness and alien nature of it.
A polished, spacey iris-suede fragrance. Though it's entirely intriguing, the price is entirely prohibitive.
Review #150 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant
