The most indulgent, softest and prettiest citrus ever, truly unisex
Citrus scents are really difficult for me, I just don't like most of them because they are so boring, traditional, linear and usually always masculine. I have been wanting a nice, different citrus scent for a long time, because so far the only citruses I have are 1872 for Women and Burlington 1819 and although I like 1872 and the floral essence in the background is pretty, it sometimes feels too sharp. Burlington on the other hand is amazing Grapefruit scent.
Because I'm tired of being disappointed time and time again when searching for a beautiful citrus, I had already given up on it. However, I got the chance to get to know Ultima Storia properly and as the weather warmed up, it gradually grew on me until I saw and smelled its full beauty and it really started to shine on my skin. It truly is a unique citrus scent because of its gentleness.
The scent opens as usual, very clearly citrusy, bright and fresh, but it is not at all sharp or pungent. Gentle leather is wrapped around it from the beginning. The composition acquires a subtle sweetness from the pear and it balances the tartness from the citrus. Such extreme softness like here is rare in citrus scents and it has been achieved through a skillful blend of notes. Cotton and talcum powder create an indulgent, soft texture, while Iris adds extremely fine powdery touch to it yet maintaining a vibrant, sun-kissed character. I can't smell Almonds or coffee but Almond finishes this creation with an elegant, shy creaminess, making it the most pleasant citrus scent I've ever encountered. What I especially like about this citrus scent is that it doesn't have spices or vetiver mixed in, and the absence of those notes takes away the traditional masculinity that is found in hundreds of citrus scents.
The scent itself doesn't seem groundbreaking, especially to those who like most citrus scents, but for a picky snob like me, it's something special that you can't find in other citruses. The longevity is good, around 7 hours and the sillage is sufficient. It's not a monster in any way but it's not intimate either. The cap is magnetic now so it's good.
