Feel the inside Nippon.

First I would like to tell you I am a constant fan of Giuseppe pictures. Yes, pictures he unveils the places, moods and moments from his life.
So is Sogni. He haiku'ed japanese soul, esthetics in one bottle. I've never seen so carefuly painted rice acccord, the hot and dry grain which moves gently and smooth into old, clean wood as seen in the home interiors across the Japan. Clean and calm but majestic at the same time.
It is so gorgeous I even can't write more for now. True masterpiece worth waiting. Giuseppe can give us a scent which is nor loud, neither flashy but full of power. Unmanifested power you just feel.

Sogni took me on my first trip to Japan

I have never encountered so far a perfumer as masterful as Meo when it comes to transposing the story of a fragrance he created, and the mood of the actual scent. Sogni feels like a dream to me in the sense that it literally took me on a trip to Japan, even though I never visited. But it was exactly as I would imagine a day there - along with a moody light and a slightly warm spring air. It opens up with the faintest pine note, but it is not the forest kind at all. Just the slightest hint of green that quickly paves the way for the steam that floats outward from a hot rice bowl. That slightly lactonic, soft, skin like, cozy smell of the hot rice that fills a room when cooked well. The rice is then “decorated” with petals of flowers that sweeten up the fragrance that in the end, makes way for lots of mysterious woods that are so well done that you cant help but smell your hand over and over again. It is so seductive and romantic, only a poet would be able to fully grasp the potential and artistry of this fragrance. Meo is a poet. I simply cannot get enough of this one.

Longevity is very good, above average. Over 8 hours definitely.
Sillage: first hour it does radiate to an arm’s length, then gradually turns into a more intimate bubble for well over 8 hours on me.

Falls afoul of that fake sesame/bread/wheat note

Sogni is quite possibly the worst thing I have smelled in a long while. I can usually find something positive to talk about in any perfume – and I am inclined to give indies like Meo Fusciuni an easier ride than designer – but this is just such a badly made, almost ugly effort that I can’t summon one iota of generosity in its service. It starts with that God-awful fake sesame-bread-nut aromachemical that was already over used in the indie perfume oil sector (think BPAL, Alkemia, etc.) but has now begun to blight higher end niche perfumes such as L’Eau de Papier by Diptyque and Jardin de Cythère by Hermes. Perhaps due to over-exposure to this particular material in the ‘throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks’ approach of the indie oil sector, this note smells objectionable to me – as fake as that movie popcorn butter food additive and amateurish to boot.

This is compounded by an extensive mid-section that I understand is supposed to smell like tatami mats but regrettably smells to me like a dull, greyish ‘paste’ of unknown but probably industrial origin. I like some industrial smells, but this perfume doesn’t commit to any one point of reference, like glue, plaster of Paris, latex or glue, but rather, hangs uneasily between them all, which gives the paste accord a gassy, poisonous character that is as unpleasant as raw potato flour dough that has been proving too long. It is not easy to describe, but this part of the perfume gives me the same feeling as when a dog flattens its ears and emits a low warning whine. It makes me equal parts anxious and depressed. It just smells like a bad mood.

I really should stop there because if a perfume makes you feel this bad, there is nothing that can redeem it. And indeed, what follows, like the most unfortunate backwash ever, is a sourish woody amber that bellows tech bro. Expensively cheap, if you know what I mean. I am beginning to see that the perfumer behind Meo Fusciuni is capable of doing amazingly intricate, interesting work with incense and florals, but equally capable of doing stuff that smells mawkish, cheap, or designer-adjacent. It’s ok, everyone has their off moments. It’s just that this perfumer has so many of them that it makes me wonder if the truly incredible ones he has managed to create are his strokes of genius or just happy accidents.

sogni - memories, rice, and woods

I love artistry/poeticism behind this! All the notes sound like a dream to me. It has a lovely woody note to it with the lightest touch of floral. It starts creamy then somewhere along the way it turns powdery. The rice note is nice, though I wish it was slightly stronger, as it dissipates very fast. I was also expecting a stronger rice, green tea, or hojicha scent, but the sandalwood completely takes over on my skin. It's not bad though! Light, clean, and very wearable at workplaces (it's an intimate scent) and all seasons - especially Fall/Spring :-)

note: I wore it to bed and I could still smell it on me when I woke up - though it was very light. I haven't gotten good sillage out of it so far - will try again soon!

What has been left behind you, Meo?

Japan is, for our Western minds, a land full of images.
From manga to martial arts, from sushi to electronics, everyone has their own little idea of it.

There is one, I believe, at the heart of Sogni: respect.

This fragrance defies expectations.
Forget cherry blossom, forget tea.
MF takes us in the opposite direction, opening with a clean, starchy, strikingly realistic rice note.
It doesn’t last long—almost leaving us hungry for more.

Then comes the scent of woods: green, clean as well, with no pretension of being more than it is.
Tatami, bamboo, pine needles.
And somewhere, a discreet cold incense, reminiscent of a recent Kōdō ceremony.

The whole composition breathes harmony in restraint,
grace contained,
and nostalgia, of course.

By moving away from clichés, MF offers us a Westernized vision of Japan—and that’s just fine.

Here we have an authentic perspective:
the description of an experience as it was truly lived,
with the nostalgia of a traveler returning home, aware that something has been left behind.
