Immediate impression: effortlessly clean with a very slight fresh citrus.
After 15-20 minutes I pick up on hints of a soft, slightly herbal floral that tickles the back of my brain but I can’t quite pinpoint — perhaps a dusky lavender?
But at the same time, I don’t care that I can’t dissect this fragrance, because the whole is so much lovelier and well balanced than its parts. Which seems as though it is likely part of the point — after all, Alessandro Gualtieri intentionally doesn’t disclose the notes.
It is subtly sensual and sits close to the skin, which is to be expected for this type of scent (and which I generally prefer, so no complaints here). Something about it reads to me as leaning ever so slightly to the masculine side of unisex.
I don’t think I’ve found my holy grail clean scent in this fragrance, but it is undeniably a masterpiece and I’ll enjoy using the rest of my tester.
