Torino21 is one of the best fresh fragrances I've smelled so far. From the very first spray, it immediately gives you an extremely fresh, green and clean impression. The combination of lemon, mint and basil stands out right away. The mint brings that really cool freshness, while the lemon gives the fragrance a zesty touch. At the same time, the basil keeps Torino21 from smelling like just any ordinary citrus fragrance.
What I especially like is how natural and high-quality this freshness feels. To me, Torino21 doesn't smell like a classic shower gel or a typical summer fragrance, but is much more refined. It's this green, slightly herbal quality in particular that makes it special and gives it a distinctive character despite its freshness.
After a while, the fragrance becomes a little softer. Jasmine and lavender take some of the edge off the very fresh opening and make it feel rounder. Even so, Torino21 never loses its clean and fresh character. In the drydown, musk and verbena make it a little calmer, but it remains pleasantly fresh on the skin.
For me, Torino21 is above all a perfect fragrance for spring and summer. Especially in warmer weather, I can hardly imagine anything better. It works during the day, on vacation, for dinner out or simply for everyday wear. At the same time, it feels high-quality enough to wear for a slightly dressier occasion, too.
I also think the performance is really good for such a fresh fragrance. Of course, Torino21 isn't a heavy winter fragrance that fills an entire room, but that's not what I expect from it. It has a noticeable presence without becoming unpleasant.
