Dea Sutra Antiqua Firenze

The opening is marked by a succession of bergamot and mandarin, with also grated zest, which releases a slightly bitter scent. After 3 or 4 minutes the citrus phase fades and the spices come into play: cinnamon stands out; the pepper is barely hinted at; the rose can be felt, but it is behind. It's not a rose based scent, I'd say it's more cinnamon focused. In fact, after not long, the base notes manifest themselves, but the cinnamon always remains in circulation, overpowering the patchouly, which barely shows its earthiness; vetiver is not very relevant. This accord was probably created to avoid making the fragrance take on a more masculine character, but the final effect doesn't excite me.
