With a beautiful cologne, Wiener Blut knows how to enchant us for a few hours. Florentiner has a gentle nature; fruity, bright, and playful are attributes that come to mind for this little work of art.
At first, we are transported into citrus spheres, fine and transparent in the first minutes. The subsequent transition to a bit more sharpness gives Florentiner more character. The fragrance takes its time for this, and to my delight, the allspice always plays its qualities close to the skin. It is never overwhelming, just finely grated. It’s lovely that our companion retains its graceful nature during this phase.
In the dry down, I perceive neroli. Usually, this component overwhelms me quickly, but in this case, it has been dosed finely, creating a warm, slightly Mediterranean aura. Airy and elevated, the fragrance releases me back into everyday life, and I look forward to our reunion.
