So, what can I say about Italia? The scent comes pretty close to the original. I wouldn’t say it’s a perfect clone, though. All in all, you get an interesting DNA here, with honey, tobacco, and lemon.
The big problem? This isn’t Beast Mode, it’s Godzilla Mode. Unfortunately, I can’t wear it at all because even just two sprays are way too strong for me. In my entire life, I’ve never gotten headaches from a fragrance as often as I have from this one. The projection and longevity are simply brutal.
Unfortunately, this sweet, tobacco-heavy DNA is very likely to give me a headache. And even though the scent definitely stands out because of it, that’s not necessarily a good thing. My family also finds it simply too strong, even when I only spray a little.
My conclusion: The scent is really interesting and a good take on Naxos. However, there’s a good chance your body won’t get along with this fragrance DNA. That’s why I’d definitely recommend sampling it first and not just giving it a quick test once. Really wear it for a whole day before deciding to buy it.
The first sniff can be pretty misleading. It’s absolutely not a bad-smelling perfume... on the contrary, it smells really good. But in my opinion, you can only really judge whether this scent is for you after wearing it actively for several hours.
