Mozzafiato Naso di Raza 2017

Mozzafiato opens with a nice combination of sweet bergamot and petitgrain underpinned by smoky frankincense, but soon the villain of the piece appears: a whole heck of a lot of cashmeran which cheapens this scent a lot. The sweetness also gets a bit sickening at this point when amber aromachemicals join in. This combination of synthetics is just not for me.

Mozzafiato, in my opinion, one of the most sophisticated scents I own in my collection.⁣

Iris is what the scent is all about (at least initially). I have to be honest, it took me a while to appreciate Iris as a note. When I first got into fragrances, I didn’t like the note and found it well too “powerdery”. ⁣

Lately, or for a long time, I have been really enjoying the note in scents. ⁣Iris is definitely the star of this fragrance. Creamy buttery, powdery iris. It shines beautifully on the skin for a long time after the initial spray. ⁣
⁣
It only gets better from there. The scent quickly turns dark & earthy blend of woods, leather, vetiver and incense. It’s so beautiful that it has me smelling my hands all the time. ⁣

All what’s left is a beautiful carpet of cashmere and musk. That’s basically Mozzafiato for you. ❤️⁣
