Luxury Collection - Mi Piace Richard Maison de Parfum

If Interlude Man by Amouage is too smoky or By The Fireplace by Replica is too vanilla, then one should give Mi Piace (Italian for "I like") a try.

Even though the pyramid, especially in the heart notes area with herbs, coconut, and cinnamon, appears relatively chaotic, it still creates a solid illusion of a crackling fireplace with a few vanilla-soaked logs that seemingly spread cozy warmth. The association with a snow-covered mountain cabin is quickly established, and the vanilla adds a romantic touch.

However, regarding the aforementioned heart notes, I can't really pinpoint anything. Only when attempting a more detailed analysis on the sprayed surface do you get the impression of detecting something like herbs, a few coconut molecules, or a few cinnamon particles here and there.

The vanilla joins in relatively early and takes the lead role in the drydown. Alongside everything, distinctly woody nuances can be perceived, wherever they may come from.

Overall, Mi Piace is a rich, long-lasting fireplace wood scent with pleasant attributes, making it ideal for autumn to winter days.
