Wellness green Italian fresh scent with a nice soft-spicy cardamom-coriander undertone
Boellis meant nothing to me until a few days ago, but it apparently is an old traditional house (barber shop) in the heart of Naples, around 90 years old.
It is definitely worth discovering, I can say that after testing "Panama Millésimé".
While no new wheel is invented here, one can undoubtedly recognize a well-crafted style that is sure to please classic fragrance fans and fits well with an old Italian establishment.
The first minutes are a bit disorganized, the spices are somewhat jumbled, but Boellis settles between a fresh green tea infusion, grounded by a rather slightly bitter rhubarb, and an underlying, drier spice note.
A previous reviewer mentioned something about "dirty" - perhaps in a rather subtle sense of dirtiness, but precisely because of that, it brings a tension to the fragrance that truly makes it worth testing.
Is it coming from the coriander and cardamom, underscored by a hint of musk? Perhaps, it certainly fits well. Maybe not for a clichéd sun-drenched day in Italy, but definitely for a slightly fresher autumn in bella Italia, where one or two windy and slightly rainy days occur.
Throughout, the fragrance remains quite stable between an increasingly drier green tea foundation and aromas drifting towards woody-grassy (vetiver?) notes, where cardamom and coriander never completely fade away.
For professional everyday life, it is certainly not a bad choice.
