Fresia Santa Maria Novella

When I first read Fresia on the bottle label in the Via del Carrozze store, I made a beeline for it. I adore freesias and I have long been searching for a soliflore freesia perfume. The search still continues to this day, as Fresia is not really about freesias at all; freesias appear only briefly in the opening, launching themselves powerfully on little musk bubbles that are quickly burst by the violets and the iris. The overall feeling is a classic soapy scent of freshly washed, starched to perfection laundry. My go to perfume for crisp white shirts, jeans, and structured handbags, for when I want to look and feel preppy-neat. Good silage and longevity.
