Haiku Mirko Buffini 2013

Hello and welcome to my comment on Mirko Buffini's "Haiku," my dear sniffers!
Mirko Buffini is probably one of those brands that seems to have some hidden treasures, but hardly anyone knows about them. Even here on Parfumo, I encounter the brand less often than I would have expected.

So far, I have only been able to test one fragrance from this brand, and that was only because it contained tea, and at that time, I was crazy about getting to know all kinds of tea fragrances. Well, I am still crazy, of course, regarding tea scents, even if I can imagine what you all usually think about that… I know exactly that you think I'm a bit crazy, right? But I am NOT crazy!!! Or am I?? … Nooo… I’m not, for sure, shhhhhhht, everything is guuuut…. :DD

Anyway, today it's time for Haiku. As you may have guessed, the name comes from Japan and refers to a short form of poetry from Japan. It is also the name of an operating system, but I am sure that the name of the fragrance was inspired more by the artistic form of poetry than by a probably unknown operating system whose existence only nerds like me could know about (… pah, I only learned that today, thanks to Wikipedia. So am I a nerd? Huh? HUH??? I am not crazy!!!!).

So let's get to the fragrance.

**The fragrance:**
Hmm, the fragrance starts off wonderfully. An absolutely beautiful women's scent that begins with roses, vanilla, a bit of cedar, and lovely resins (which are not specified, but it smells like benzoin to me). The sweet notes also have an amber scent, which I find lovely as well.
Floral notes are one of the main fragrance notes here. Of course, flax is listed as a floral note, but how am I supposed to know that? :D
But I am sure it smells like flax, and it does so beautifully, as I can rule out the other floral notes, even though the sweetness in this fragrance occasionally reminds me of jasmine (which, according to the fragrance pyramid, also doesn’t seem to be present).
After a while, the impression of jasmine fades, and the sweet notes mainly come from a mix of musk and amber, with the musk becoming stronger and the amber eventually pushed into the background. Vanilla is also a strong sweet note and is therefore always present, even becoming stronger throughout the fragrance, which makes it appear more powdery. The fragrance mostly ends sweet and powdery.

**The sillage and longevity:**
The sillage is good, so it should be noticeable for a while, as the fragrance wearer will radiate a nice scent cloud. I also found the longevity to be good, as the fragrance was pleasant for about eight to ten hours.

**The bottle:**
The bottle is quite simple. It is rectangular, slightly tinted, and has no label; the name of the fragrance is printed directly on the front of the bottle. The cap is cylindrical and gold-plated. As I said, everything is quite simple but still nice.

So folks. Haiku is a really beautiful women's fragrance. Yes, I am writing "women's fragrance" specifically because the scent comes across as very feminine, and I can't really imagine such a scent on men, even if it is labeled as unisex.

I think this fragrance will appeal to most of you here, as long as you have no aversion to slightly sweeter scents or powdery notes. It is very pleasant, smells sexy to me (a scent for cuddling, drooling, and biting :D) as well as delicate and somehow cute. Thus, it would be a fragrance for leisure as well as for going out, and it also serves as an all-rounder, as it doesn’t feel very overwhelming despite the sweetness, unless it’s a hot summer. Well, let’s say that the fragrance shines best in spring, autumn, and winter :)

So it is definitely recommendable.
If you want to appear cute, reach for this fragrance.
If you want to appear sexy, reach for this fragrance.
If you want to get a kiss from DonJuanDeCat, reach for this fragrance. … Great, now no one will reach for this fragrance anymore… *sigh* How mean!!!

Well, as I said, the fragrance is super beautiful and worth a try. With that, I am done for today and wish everyone a lovely evening :)
