Sapore di Mare

Brezza di Mare

Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio 2008 Eau de Parfum

"I walk up the shady path of pine trees I planted years ago and watched grow into evergreen giants. From the top of this gentle hill, I see the Adriatic Sea, a view both reassuring and beautiful. The sweet breeze and the smell of salt embrace the pine needles, which in turn embrace me." Dt. Di Massimo

Now, where Dt. Di Massimo gets the pines for this fragrance, I cannot say. But perhaps he only mentions them to come to the hill and perceive the sea breeze...

I can confirm a sweet + salty sea breeze. However, my association is - as already described in the statement - a salty sea breeze blowing over a (sun) cream pot. About two hours later, the flowers wave from afar, almost making you forget the sea for a short while, only to then subordinate themselves again. For that, someone has now screwed the cream pot shut.

But it doesn't stop there; eventually, one has to reapply, and in a rather stripped-down way, the first impression repeats itself.

Yesterday, during the first testing, I completely missed the heart notes, but maybe I was too busy to notice their little hour. In any case, yesterday I had the impression of "only" smelling the sea breeze with a hint of sweet cream in the dry down.

The longevity for me is good at 6 - 7 hours, the sillage rather in the lower middle range.

In my thoughts - regarding whether to buy or not - I compare "Sapore di Mare/Brezza di Mare" with the "Batucada" from L'Artisant Parfumeur that I recently tested, and Batucada is slightly ahead as it is a bit fresher...
