Quattroventi - Libeccio Paolo Gigli 2008

The soap cannot be overlooked or over-smelled. Since I am a soap fan, this would not be a reason for a negative review, but in this fragrance, the different notes seem to have been mixed up for so long that none are recognizable anymore, and the scent has been degraded to a soapy-floral mush.

What is expected to be fresh-spicy-cool in the top notes, namely eucalyptus and mint perhaps smoothed out by the floral notes, can only be sensed after a while in the heart notes, where it actually no longer fits, because eucalyptus with fruits somehow reminds one of cough drops.

For me, the base is where Libeccio becomes truly acceptable. Now the soap note is also clearer, cleaner, and cooler again.

What also bothers me about the performance of this fragrance is the completely inappropriate packaging, which suggests warm elegance and a quality that is completely lacking here.

All in all, an unrefined, confusing scent that does not captivate you.
