A big heart
I smelled Pax already knowing several fragrances by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, for whom I have immense respect. The opening of this citrusy and "peppery" fragrance invests me with a sense of joy, of well-being, then tasty and fruity scents arrive, not too sweet and very pleasant, carried even higher by a wonderful flowery bouquet (in the pyramid I read the presence of magnolia, which I usually don't like, but which definitely has its reason here). The drydown is pure relax for me, sweet (not too much) and always characterized by extreme good taste in the composition and choice of notes.
Durability, wake and compliments guaranteed, decidedly unisex.
“Pax is the heart of Lorenzo Pazzaglia” well, I think it is precisely the most appropriate definition: the self-portrait of a great artist through an excellent perfume.

Pure Amazing Xtacy
I thought the P was for the Pear and passion fruit, A for Amber and the X for unisex but no, after wearing this again i realized it stands for something else, Pure Amazing XTC (ecstasy) , because that is what this fragrance invokes in me! No i am not saying this has MDMA in it just like neither does any of Aaron Terence Hughes fragrances, but they have MDMA as a note and i believe it is not only because one of the chemicals in those fragrances can be turned in to it, but rather that the fragrance invokes that energetic feeling without the use or need of narcotics.

So this has been compared to Erba Pura which i don't have but i do have another it is compared to which is Don't Ask Me Permission and i love the smell of both. How i would separate the 2 is that this is truly a unisex fragrance with a slight lean more to a masculine side, while Don't Ask Me Permission leans way more feminine especially because of the peach note. One more i could compare to is Pacific Park but again that is more feminine.

When i smelled Don't Ask Me Permission i fell in love with that scent, but i don't have a girlfriend that i could give it to, to wear. If i did i would without a doubt, because i would love to smell that on a girl, i really would. When i found PAX not that long after testing Don't Ask Me Permission with it's leather and wood notes in the base and no peach note, i thought this may be a more masculine version that i could pull off, the wait for this to arrive from Italy took ages and i was so excited and wondering if this would be the magic unisex or masculine version of Don't Ask Me Permision i had just fell in love with but had nobody that i could give it to smell it on them so when PAX arrived and i was correct, of course i was just over the moon! This is one of these white musk, fruity kind of fragrances that i can wear with ease and the thing i also love about it is that it is very long lasting and projects really well. This is something i always look for in a fragrance. It would be good especially for summer temperatures where most others would struggle in the high heat, while PAX absolutely thrives!

From what i have read this is a much better performing Erba Pura, and it comes in Extrait De Parfum concentration so that will be why.

If you have tried Lorenzo's latest summer fragrance which was the highly hyped Summer Hammer then when you go through all the stages and get to the last stage that sticks with you for the rest of its longevity then that is close to what you are going to get with PAX, they are not exactly the same but close enough that you can layer PAX on top of Summer Hammer when it gets to that stage.

Summer Hammer has more stages than PAX but its projection power wavers between the different stages and by the time you get to the stage that relates to PAX it becomes pretty much a skin scent and is the perfect time to then spray PAX on for the rest of the day boosting all the lovely, sweet juicy notes. You only need a few sprays of this and if I smelled this on someone else and didn't know what it was i would have to ask them what it is and where to get it and in the UK people are not as forward coming as in other countries so when people compliment you or feel the need to ask something like that then you know you have something special.

Honestly, when i smell this i just get this immense feeling of joy and almost on the verge of ecstasy.

Like an other reviewer said, this fragrance just has this sweet juicy energetic feel to it that will definitely have you in a good mood ready to go out and enjoy the summer weather. If you like fruity fragrances like i do i can promise you this will be the one that gives you that oomph feeling and you won't feel like you do with some fragrances where you can feel like something is missing to give it that spark. This is complete and ready to go. I wish i wrote this earlier in the summer but hey, people in the lower hemisphere will be coming in to summer soon so maybe this is one you should be picking up in preparation for your summer parties and night outs. Not only that i couldn't find the words to describe it in all honesty until i wore it again today and i just had to try let other people know just how great this fragrance really is.

SCORES
Scent 10/10 Just gorgeous!

Longevity 10/10 Eternal - This will last all day long in the heat with no loss in projection.

Projection 10/10 Everyone is going to be smelling this on you!

Bottle 7/10 This is its only downfall imo, the atomizer is plastic, and the bottle is a bit boring imo. (It's the juice that counts though, right?)

Price OK, this is roughly £130 per 50ml but you are getting an Eternal, long lasting, high projecting amazing scent that doesn't need many sprays, and it is Extrait concentration so to me this gets the rating of Good Value! 9/10

I love this perfume !
Magical fragrance capable of evoking positive and joyful memories in me. An energetic and sparkling cocktail of fruits that dance around a flowery heart and a woody / leather base. At the beginning we find the passion fruit, the pear (which in this perfume I sincerely adore), which marry well with a flowery / incensed heart (attention, distant incense is not a clerical incense) which together with jasmine, magnolia and currant make it a real beating heart of this perfume. To close the immense and lasting drydown of this fragrance is a woody / leather base that well support all the wonderful structure of this perfume. I am not a lover of fruity perfumes but here I had to change my mind absolutely to the point of having immediately bought a bottle of it all for myself that especially in this beautiful period I enjoy wearing and envelops me with its magical fruity, fresh, juicy scents , wonderful and flowery. A beautiful fragrance with a wise use of raw materials by Lorenzo with absolute and high quality materials as well as, being an Extrai De Parfum, in very high concentrations.

Honestly, I love it and I will never be able to do without it again.

Absolutely recommended for all lovers of fresh, fruity, flowery notes.

To really wear on any occasion you want.

For any age and is absolutely unisex.

Very long duration and wake, Promoted!

Seductive fruit in a fine thread
I was allowed to test the fragrance some time ago in the fragrance art shop in Cologne... what can I say, I had been looking for something fruity for a long time and already had Erba Pura on my wish list... I also asked the extremely knowledgeable sales assistant about Kirke.

However, the fragrance cannot even begin to compare with these two.

The fragrance has a rich bouquet of dark berries that exude a heavy and juicy sweetness. However, without even beginning to drift in the oversweet direction.
Its citrusy notes give it a slight kick of freshness, while musk and amber make it elegant and opulent... The vanilla also fits perfectly into the round dance, but is only an underlining nuance here.
Rounded off with barely perceptible leather and a hint of oud, the fragrance becomes a great composition for me. For me, it is the most luxurious, fruity, velvety and creamy combination I have ever smelled.
Dark, heavy fruits brightened by light floral and fresh notes - - in a noble suit of fine velvet, ready for the most festive occasion..

This fragrance is so noble and elegant. A whiff of this essence seems to last forever. What a longevity...

This is a more dark, more potent and more versatile Erba Pura. The big difference is the base with leather and oud! Beast performance!lov it

So nice! I love Lorenz’s strong frags. Wish the bottle was a bit better but the juice is top class and is most important. A new favourite!

Initially juicy and spicy fruity-sweet, a sweet and musky Oriental-spicy Mid season fragrance, on a smooth and resinous leathery-woody base.
