Invincibile Tonino Lamborghini 2018
3
Lambo-Limo
This Lambo initially presents itself as a bergamot-apple lemonade, although the good apple has to wait a bit before it becomes noticeable. Only deep down in my lemonade glass is there an important spicy sediment that I only consciously taste after minutes.
I read here that this Invincibile imitates Aventus. No, while there are some similar names in the ingredient list, I don't recognize any Aventus in practice. Whether it is supposed to be an imitation, I can't assess (well, the bottle design isn't very far off, and if I imagine someone wanting to smell Aventus through this composition, then I can certainly sense some correspondence during my testing sniff). In any case, compared to Aventus, the Invincibile would be duller and milder and more from our ordinary world. By the way, it resembles a type of neighbor of Shaghaf Oud Abyad. Both have a similar dry muffled quality like smoked rose and a wine bottle cork in the ashtray).
Anyway,
beautiful scent with a slightly old-school leathery finish.
Smoky? Well, maybe minimally in effect. Rather more herbal-spicy. Perhaps due to the oak moss.
The first moment of the top notes phase smells so genuinely like (freshly squeezed) orange juice (e.g., from Edeka machines) that I am astonished. The citrus fruit is supposedly a bergamot, but it doesn't make much difference. Although, the start also reminds me of the citrus from Brava by Puig.
The overall scent smells like sweet fruit gum from Italy for an hour until the strong citrus gives more space to the spicy foundation. It is still citrusy after 2 hours, which generally would overly "citrify" my day. Therefore, I don't know if I will keep the Invincibile.
There are 2 notes in the list that I can't consciously smell here. Pineapple and jasmine (for the pineapple, I could suspect that a creamy/buttery sweetness of a pineapple turns a bergamot into a juice orange). I believe I can smell rose towards the end in the base as a distant chlorinated-earthy-tobacco note, which contributes to the leathery spiciness, merges with patchouli, and creates a bridge to the apple. I won't even start with birch... And I mentally consider patch, moss, musk, and amber as the "spicy base" or "gravy" (= savory sauce) of the composition.
The bottle feels very good in the hand and looks nice.
The cap sits loosely and flops off easily.
I prefer caps that fit tightly.
And regarding the price, well, I think you have to spray quite a bit to have a sillage and longevity, so I'm considering what I should say to you about that, but you can currently (2023) get it for about 10 per 100ml if you're lucky, so what's the problem? The price is no issue.
