Now I'm going to do a review after all, I owe it to this fragrance, because I really love "5 - Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk | Rosendo Mateu - Olfactive Expressions".

At the opening, you really get the full load of cinnamon with minimal pineapple and pear.

At first I thought it was the wrong scent in the atomizer because the cinnamon is really powerful. Really one to one like big red chewing gum. Unfortunately, this cinnamon note is very engaging, so the fruity notes are more in the background, but I can smell the pear most clearly here, pineapple maybe for a minute.
As it progresses, the whole thing then gives off a fruity pear shower gel DNA -
right-
Cinnamon.

I'm sorry, but I find this fragrance really unsuccessful, it seems unrounded, biting.

After a while it becomes "softer", slightly powdery, but that doesn't make it any better.

The name suggests something completely different. So be sure to test it first!

Mango Muuuuh!

Opening short and sweet: cowshed oud with brief moments of tangy mango, albeit of synthetic origin. Then transitions into a fully synthetic mango, drugstore quality.

Now you might think: of course, my name is Mango Aoud, what did you expect?

All in all, not such a bad idea. However, the first 30 minutes are really cowshed. If you like that - why not. I'm open to anything in that respect.
Once you get past that, the oud becomes a little darker, woodier, flat. However, only a sweet, synthetic, fruity note remains in the background.

I don't get the floral notes at any time.

I find the implementation of the fragrance composition (in my head - or much more in my nose) just somehow unrounded, pungent. The fragrance seems so clumsy, when it could have been so beautiful: dark, gloomy oud, tangy mango, replaced by florals and vanilla.
And some of the fragrance components really smell so synthetic, really, this mango/fruit cluster kills me. And I am not averse to synthetic fragrances, as long as they are well made and suit the fragrance.

Towards the end, the fragrance becomes bearable, after about 4 hours, when the fragrance notes can only be guessed at.

I don't smell 250€/ bottle here, not by any stretch of the imagination. I really don't think the olfactory quality here is adequate.
And that's also the reason for my poor rating - it's not the fragrance character, Gritti can't help my subjective taste.

Too bad, could have been magical.

But as it is, it's just one thing (for me): Dishwashing candidate. Please don't buy me blind.

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I smell this fragrance. Highly praised in the far reaches of the fragrance world, its reputation precedes it.

This fragrance is made for the small, delicate elves among us. But it would also suit a Biedermeier woman.

Delicate blossoms, white powder, everything quiet and gentle, graceful, but somehow also terribly austere. Still with style.

But even that certainly has its charm for some people. I think that's exactly why many people love him.

For a mere €230, you get a sophisticated, high-quality, elegant powder-blossom-musk fragrance creation. No more and no less, no drama, no corners, no edges, no whining. Considering what the fragrance is supposed to be, and what it ultimately is, we are nonetheless at a high level. The angelic sillage accompanies you for a solid 5-6 hours.

You have to decide for yourself whether this is worth it. Personally, I don't think the price is justified.

However, the bottle is really more than beautiful.

I wouldn't recommend it as a blind buy.

The lines of a statement are not enough here, hence a review. It is well known that this fragrance was once around the corner at Montale.
There is nothing more to add. Only the top note is a little "clumsier" (in my opinion) than the original, but the evidence here lies in my olfactory memory.

Long Story Short:
You get a fairly linear, not exactly super complex fragrance here - namely the beautiful "Intense Cafe | Montale" DNA (although the original doesn't exactly boast complexity either, to be honest).

Qualitatively, there is nothing to complain about here. Heavy, high-quality bottle, the look is debatable. Really great spray mist. Sillage is great, lasts a good 5-6 hours.
The price is more than outstanding for what you get.

For the price absolute buy recommendation, P/L here is really 1+

The fragrance opens fresh and green, until after a short time the sweetness of the fig immediately emerges. It then becomes sweeter and, above all, more floral. This is then joined by some powder. The further sweetness of the fragrance is then given more by the vanilla.

In my opinion, the fig is not the focus of this fragrance, it only adds a fruity note at the beginning. So if you are looking for a fragrance a lá "Philosykos (Eau de Parfum) | Diptyque" or are expecting a juicy fig scent overall, you will be less happy with this fragrance.

I would categorize the fragrance as floral, green, fresh, and sweet. Sounds a bit strange, but those are all the impressions I get. Reminds me a little of wellness.

Nevertheless, the fragrance is a really successful composition that you certainly won't offend anyone with.

Longevity is average, sillage too, you won't fill rooms with it.
