I Quattro Elementi - Aria Paolo Gigli 2009

Thanks to Sir Lancelot, I have also received a taster sample from this one. I tested it without reading here first and honestly I am very surprised. Unisex scent? Mmm. For me it was from the first to the last moment very clearly a men's fragrance. A very good one, but that is m.E. not really something for the woman.

Unlike other fragrances, I can't clearly recognize the pineapple here. I like pineapple, but here the good fruit seems to sink somehow. What I perceive is a pleasantly dark, slightly bitter freshness. And this darkness also lets me assign the scent more to the gentlemen. I like what I'm sniffing at, no doubt about it. But just as unisex cannot be opened up for me, I wonder what this has to do with the air. If I had to assign the scent to an element, it would have been the water. Too bad that I don't know the others from the series and therefore can't compare them.

I can recommend this fragrance to all men who feel like a pleasantly spicy fresh fragrance that doesn't bang around with ambroxan, as Sauvage and its friends do, and yet still has a feeling of freshly showered. This one's great after sports for my nose. And even in the office I would say, not wrong at all.

I don't really see him in the summer either. I'd rather put it in spring or fall. But in principle you can wear it at any occasion
