Vicebomb Simone Andreoli 2023

What a beautiful summer's day! I get up early and step out onto the street before eight to bathe in the bright, clear light that only exists in Italy. The smell of fresh espresso fills my nose, the bars have just opened, elegant men in suits stand at the bar and enjoy their caffè standing up. I let myself be carried away by the scents, walk along the shady cobblestones, stop in front of the beautiful stores and am magically drawn to the cathedral, which is already so crowded in the early morning. I just want to look at it from the outside and head for an ice cream parlor, and because the sun is not yet at its zenith, it doesn't have to be lemon ice cream. I choose the wonderful Amarena cherry ice cream. Juicy, almondy-tasting, dark, almost black cherries, finely candied and yielding to my bite with a soft crunch, are on top - a delight of sweetness, cherry aroma, almond flavor and a divine consistency, crunchy and then soft and syrupy. The wonderful flavor is infused into the yogurt ice cream, which encases more small pieces of this Italian cherry specialty. I savor every lick. I am in Italy! In Florence! The sun is shining! I'm enjoying a fantastic ice cream in front of the cathedral!
What other gifts could life have in store?
All of this is Vicebomb.
A sprayer. And the whole flood of associations washes over me. This wonderful summer, this delicious ice cream.
Vicebomb is by no means an autumn or winter cherry fragrance. It has nothing of Lost Cherry or Lovefest Burning. You only think that in the first few seconds, perhaps because you expect it, because you want to categorize the fragrance in familiar cherry scents.
Take your time to really get to know this fragrance. What does it really smell like?
It is not the cinnamony or marzipan-heavy sour cherry of the familiar fragrances of this type.
It is the true Amarena cherry, sweet and unresisting, creamy and bright. A very different cherry fragrance, exceptional, for bright days. An Italian interpretation of cherry pleasure, not wintery and deep, but summery and light.
Simply beautiful!
