Fuoco - Fire
This fragrance series by Paolo Gigli is dedicated to the 4 elements.
This one symbolizes fire.
And indeed, this scent is fiery; you can tell right away.
Right from the first spray, it smells very spicy, with notes of pepper and cardamom; initially fresh, then it becomes creamier and warmer. Muscat sage blends with sandalwood oil, honey, and vanilla to create a soft, rounded, very well-balanced, and harmonious fragrance, all crowned with a hint of pepper and set against a dark yet gentle patchouli background.
The theme of "Element Fire" has been well executed here; everything fits together wonderfully: the name, the scent, and the bottle provide a fantastic fiery olfactory experience.
I don't perceive fruity notes at all; for me, this is a true spice fragrance that, unfortunately, due to the patchouli and the cardamom, which always turns very soapy on me, won't settle in.
But overall, it is a great fragrance that deserves to be tested.
While it is excellently classified as a women's fragrance, I also find it wearable for men due to its fresh spiciness, so it is actually unisex.

Fougere (clearly the lavender), marjoram, I think I can also smell oud - it bothers me in almost all compositions, it has a sharpness like too much lemon... in the background, I think there's incense?

I find this one the absolute worst. It also smells like deodorant to me. I even know what it's called: Black Sun. Horrible. It doesn't smell nice and is totally artificial.

I think I can smell oud... or something very close to it that lingers on the skin...
