How I Imagine a Sport Fragrance
As most of you know, I enjoy and do a lot of sports. I no longer compete with others in competitions, as that is too stressful for me, but I love to cover many kilometers daily, either running or cycling. Often, I also test fragrances (with the many samples that arrive here, I have no choice), which unfortunately usually don't really fit into a natural setting.
But today I had one that does. Granverde by Lorenzo Dante Ferro. A wonderful companion when you go into nature. The first impression was that of a classic cologne. The opening is citrusy and fresh, but it already indicates the direction in which it should go. Green, really green. The spice and wood notes and vetiver don't take long to appear. The scent reminds me of damp meadows in the morning. The forest is not far away either and brings its typical, woody (coniferous) aroma into play. Since this fragrance is a perfume and not a cologne, it holds up wonderfully during a workout.
Although I don't find any musk in the pyramid, I suspect it's there, as it always feels very clean to me. However, the musk is more subdued here than, for example, in the Aqua Allegorias by Guerlain. I also think that it is the musk note that my colleague Meggi and his staff perceived as feminine. The fragrance has, despite all its freshness and herbal spiciness, something sweet, which I attribute to the musk. Nevertheless, I dare to say that the scent could also appeal to those who are initially put off by the term "clean musk." Because this sweetness is very delicate, very subtle. It doesn't annoy and doesn't take away the masculine, cologne-typical base note. Everything here is as it should be in a classic men's fragrance. And yet it remains so lively and a bit playful.
I know the era of sport fragrances is actually over. And it's actually nonsense to wear perfume while exercising. Nevertheless, I would say that if someone wants to, they make a good choice with this perfume from Bella Italia. Because it smells fresh and also quite naturally fine and shouldn't annoy anyone. A fragrance that manages the balancing act between a true classic and a modern scent, and which, at least for my nose, has no age. With this fragrance, you find yourself somewhere between Eau Sauvage and Original Vetiver. And even though I primarily see it on the masculine side, it wouldn't be entirely wrong on a woman either.
Neither the brand nor the perfume were known to me until now. Thanks to the lovely SchatzSucher, I am now wiser. Thank you very much for that!
