I included Maremma in my Tiziana Terenzi sample order because it is supposed to be similar to highly touted Black Orchid. I have never sampled Black Orchid and figured on testing Terenzi's version while going through others from this house. Well, assuming Maremma does smell close to Black Orchid, I'm never coming close to it. In short, Maremma is a sweet, floral, plastic, synthetic mess. It's only redeeming factor is that as it dried down, it did mellow out a bit although it still remained awful. I can't see any man or woman wearing this. It is just SO bad.
Longevity was good while projection was more moderate. The only thing worse than Maremma's scent is the fact that its longevity was good and I had to put up with it for so long.
I had to smile all through your musings. Haven't yet smelled Maremma, but as a fan of the one-of-a-kind Black Orchid - which to my nose is so well-rounded, sensual and appealing - it'd be interesting for me to sample it. So thank you for your frank remarks.
And, as Motörhead's mastermind Lemmy (R.I.P.) once wisely remarked: 'You can't win 'em all. I mean, where would you put 'em?'
Uh-oh, hahaha
I'm sorry man, can't win 'em all. I'll say that Black Orchid is smoother, though slightly less powerful in comparison, but I don't think it would matter for you because the general concept is exactly the same.
