Borsari versus Borsari, Round 2
With a small sample of the fragrance Lampone, Fior di Mielo e Semi di Cacao by Borsari, my renewed journey into the world of scents began a few years ago. I still have my "old fragrance collection from the late eighties and early nineties," but now I was completely caught up in the fragrance craze. I find this hobby so exciting and have already infected my whole family with it. Many of the scents that weren't quite my style suited my daughter well. My son now has a larger fragrance collection, and even my husband, who had hardly ever worn perfume until a few years ago, now owns a total of 7 fragrances, which he uses all the time.
So, somehow I got my hands on this sample (I didn’t know parfumo back then) and was thrilled by the scent. Unfortunately, the Borsari brand was not offered anywhere near us. But a small perfumery in Munich carried this fragrance line. So, off I went to Munich, which isn't that far from NRW. The really friendly owner joyfully presented the Borsari fragrances to me. At that time, I bought the Lampone scent and received a sample of the Calla scent as a gift (which I found too intense back then - I should try it again today) and also had the Rosa e Pepe on my skin. And somehow, it never really left me over the years.
Gradually, more and more Borsari fragrances joined my collection. And some time ago, the Floralia line from Borsari, which wasn’t listed on parfumo at all, came into my possession. I submitted the four fragrances, but I couldn’t find any information on the fragrance notes for Rosa Regina. However, during the processing, someone must have found the details, and the fragrance notes were listed. And what did I see: the same pyramid as with Rosa e Pepe. Hmm, how did that smell again? The test was a long time ago, but the scent was still on my watchlist. And no one on parfumo owns the fragrance - what a hassle! That kind of thing keeps me restless, I can't have that... Yes, and then I just bought Rosa e Pepe! And tested both together!
I have now worn the Floralia - Rosa Regina several times. It starts off quite peppery for me with a strong, fruity note; I wouldn’t have picked out mandarin, but it could be there. After a while, the perfume changes on my skin to a slightly (flower) compost-like note. This initially irritated and unsettled me during the first few wears, but I have now really gotten used to it. Shortly after, the scent lingers beautifully on me with a wonderful strong rose note, changing its character, dancing with me, bringing out the pepper again, going up and down, not linear for me. So, this is not a scent for people who don’t like development; at least for me, the fragrance really takes off. I like it! I am very satisfied with the scent!
