My expectations were high after I had the chance to test and purchase Masar at the end of 2020. As a newcomer, I didn't expect much - was it luck or skill - Masar positively surprised me. No, overwhelmed, I was fascinated!
Enough about Masar, back to Vitias.
When I learned that pernoire had launched the second fragrance, I had many question marks! Can Vitias compete with Masar? How will Vitias smell? After 6 months, is the quality still there with a new scent? And, and, and....
I ordered a sample last week and was very curious. When the fragrance arrived (in a handwritten letter), the weather was perfect: sunny, 28 degrees, and I had a day off work (I couldn't order the gin and tonic yet, or is it allowed at 11:00?)
With the sample in hand, I had to treat myself to 2 or 3 sprays right away. The opening was very refreshing. For a moment, I felt like I had fresh Limoncello from Calabria on my skin. The slightly sweet and citrusy top note paired with spicy pepper captivated me. My desire for more increased. After a few minutes, the citrus notes settled, and I got the feeling that the fresh fruity note transformed into a fresh Mediterranean breeze, underscored by southern woods and musk.
By now, it's evening, and the sun is slowly disappearing on the horizon, which cannot be said for Vitias on my skin. I no longer perceive the same freshness on my skin, but my arm smells like a long day at the beach with a fresh and chilled Limoncello.
In bed next to a fan, I try to fall asleep. The breezes keep bringing Vitias back to my nose. Gradually, I perceive the scent less and less. I have fallen asleep.
