Nel blu dipinto di blu
Volaré, oh-oh
Cantaré, oh-oh-oh-oh
I don't know what rose and especially algae(!) have to do with flies, but the earworm is there. By the way, I also fly - to this beautiful fragrance, which is a logical continuation of my rose preference evolution: I came across tart green roses (L'Eau du Trente-Quatre , Florabotanica )
to fine leather + rose ( Hollyrose , French Leather Eau de Parfum ) , complemented in between by salty roses (Untitled Rose Eau de Parfum ). I'll leave out my second love 'rose soap' for now.
"Volare | Profumi di Polignano" combines all three directions in one easy flight. The use of saffron almost always results in a smooth suede association in my nose, soft, ochre-brown, slightly tart. The whole is complemented by coriander and seaweed green - the seaweed dispenses with brackish water, mustiness and goo. It's not slimy pond algae either, but saltwater algae - you know those crunchy algae potato chips from Asia? Such algae! The rose gradually creeps up on you, but the fragrance retains a green crispness and doesn't lapse into a lovely bloom (thank rose geranium?).
I can't explicitly sniff out the double pepper in the base, perhaps it just keeps the musky fluff in check.
The scent makes me think of the Channel Islands of Jersey in spring. It blows and smells of salty sea air, the caramel-colored suede jacket was perhaps still too thin ... at the same time, the roses are blooming fantastically in the gardens thanks to the mild climate. If I didn't know that the scent was Italian, I would have thought it was English-French, a Penhaligons-Chanel marriage, so to speak.
For me, the fragrance is definitely unisex, provided the gentlemen can warm to roses.
Volare is not loud, it fortunately lacks XYZ-fix and other-ols or other guarantees for mass fragrance and 3-day durability. Ergo, it doesn't last 8h+, but since I tend to want to wear it in spring/summer, I can live with that. I tested it in tough competition with Rose Saltifolia, which, however, has a very dominant grapefruit on board - Volare is greener and unfruity!
Profumi di Polignano also offers an extrait de parfum variant with an identical fragrance pyramid, I am very tempted to hunt it down to start a direct comparison - an update may follow.
