Anti Malocchio Nobile 1942 2022

I was in Venlo yesterday at this small, beautiful owner-operated perfumery. The window was incredibly and extravagantly decorated. People stopped and took photos. Large red chili peppers hung from the ceiling, and in the middle was this new, very extravagant scent. Everything was bathed in a fresh blue, red, and blue. It attracted people. Since I know the gentlemen well, I went in and had them spray Anti Malocchio on me. I also received an explanation about the scent right away... it is supposed to be the scent of happiness that protects us from evil eyes and negative moods. I thought it was a great idea; we all need that, and preferably in a 5-liter canister (laugh)
But now let's get to the fragrance, my first impression is a cloud full of aromatic herbs underlined with a gentle sweetness. I perceive floral notes very delicately; the straw flower with its dry, slightly bitter note is easily recognizable, and my always highly appreciated patchouli rises to my nose. The scent is a "gentle rauling" but very harmonious and rounded. I keep sniffing my arm, extraordinary, unisex with a good but very skin-close presence. I liked it immediately; after a few hours, it becomes more subdued but is still well perceivable. I would estimate the longevity at 6-8 hours. Slightly smoky notes surround the beautiful scent that is supposed to protect me from now on!!!
For me, it is a very harmonious, never overwhelming newcomer in the finish. It's pleasant to not smell like a fruit basket or an extreme bouquet of flowers. To me, the perfume has something very beautifully natural with a slightly woody-smoky herbal note that is very delicately powdery-sweet. Could happiness smell like this? Sure, why not. The price is about 125 euros. It was a very good purchasing decision for me. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that as a small gift, you receive a red chili pepper as a charm and lucky charm in a red jewelry box - a very nice idea.
