Rosso Pompei Tiziana Terenzi 2020

After getting some impressions of this scent on YouTube, I immediately secured a sample.
The promises: Fresh-fruity, unique, great longevity and sillage.
I had already experienced the "problem" with some fragrances where I let myself be too influenced by the promises and ended up feeling somewhat disillusioned, or even disappointed.
With this one, the complete opposite was supposed to happen.
Of course, I sprayed it on my arm as soon as I received it and was bombarded with a veritable explosion of fruits.
After a few minutes, this bombardment subsided and became more pleasant.
I only experienced the actual power of the fragrance during the second spray, but more on that in a moment.

Regarding the notes: As mentioned, very fruity and citrusy at the beginning (some might find it too piercing), but this quickly settles down.
I don't really perceive the heart notes (perhaps that's a good thing, as tuberose and lily of the valley tend to repel me).
After about 2-3 hours, the wood from the base notes joins in and becomes stronger over time, as does the patchouli. However, the fruitiness sets the tone throughout the entire fragrance journey.
From a scent perspective, it's a top fragrance; the fresh-fruity aspect and the uniqueness promised are definitely present.
In my opinion, it is one of the most unisex (I still miss that word in the dictionary) fragrances I have encountered so far.

Now to the performance:
On my skin, I could still smell it 10 hours after spraying, which is insane for a (albeit somewhat atypical) freshie.
At first, I felt like I had to be very close to the spray area to perceive it.
That day, my mother visited and was the first to mention the scent, even before she greeted me. That made me think for the first time: "Hmm, okay, maybe my nose got used to it too quickly.
Since she liked it very much, I let her spray it the next day when we strolled through the city.
Her reaction the day before made me think, but I could never have imagined that the scent would hit me so hard.
It projected easily 8 meters in all directions, but definitely not in an unpleasant "too much applied" way. In the sillage, the scent doesn't even differ much from what you perceive directly on the skin.
This was the case for about the first 3-4 hours; after that, it becomes more intimate but still remains present.
Mind you: The weather that day was moderate to cool at 12°C, and since the scent actually feels very spring-like to summery, I can't say what happens at higher temperatures. Maybe I'll test it next summer, although I somehow have a bit of "fear" about it. The promise of great longevity and sillage was more than fulfilled.

In summary:

In my opinion, one of the best fragrances I have ever smelled.
Anyone who enjoys fruity-fresh scents MUST try this one.
Due to its outstanding performance and somewhat overwhelming sillage, please use it sparingly and probably not in too hot temperatures.
The price is, of course, steep, and since it is more of a spring/summer scent, I don't know how one is supposed to empty a 100ml bottle in the foreseeable future, so definitely get a decant first before considering buying a full bottle.
I hope my review has made this scent appealing to a few people.
In my opinion, it is definitely a "Must-Try."
