herbal, spicy, musky

Spacious. Opens with a camphorous spice, very nose-clearing. Loads of vegetal white/grey musk. Papery, slightly grassy. Like an open field on an overcast autumn day. For me, the dates come later, as this dries down into a semi-sweet, semi-powdery musk. Just a hint of fruit, almost only a suggestion.

Castelli di Sabbia translates to Sand Castles. I get that--this is all about open, semi-arid spaces, dry textures, earthy softness.

I'll call this a musk scent. So if you like something clean, semi-bright like L'Artisan's Mure et Musc, you will likely enjoy Sabbia. Similar in tone, though this musk is a bit more vegetal and the fruit accord is more subtle. Gentle projection.

Little Italy's patisserie

Has a very Italian holiday feel to it. Gives nutcracker vibes. It's long lasting, but not cloying. I smell dates and sweet almonds, but it's not edible smelling. Likely one of the most unique fragrances I've ever come across. It makes my mind think of an old Italian confectionary shop located in the heart of a little Italy that has been family owned for 100 years.

Nauseating spice bomb

This was a bonus sample that came with another purchase so I didn't check the notes before applying. This is one of my personal nightmares in fragrance form. It smells like old, stale potpourri from a Christmas bizarre 30 years ago. I detect horrible notes of black licorice, and maybe stale pipe tobacco. It also has a very loud cinnamon note that reminds me of big red gum. The result is a headache-inducing medicinal cocktail of spicy things. I always hate cardamom in fragrances though, so take that how you will.

Stale Christmas potpourri. Black licorice and big red gum. A near instant scrubber for me.

Despite the date, not too sweet, cinnamon scent that starts beautifully and ends just as beautifully. A great experience of the test.

Delicate, slightly bitter date, elegantly spiced, enjoying the sunshine on the beach. Wonderfully creamy, elegant. Nonchalantly relaxed into the weekend.
