This scent lays on the skin like oil - warm, dense, seductive. It unfolds on the warm body, exuding liquid precious resin notes that flow over rare woods. A creamy chocolatiness is palpable, accompanied by gentle, distant fruity nuances of banana, merged with warm amber, in the ethereal half-light…
Nothing about it raises its voice: a gentle whisper envelops you like a veil, woven from desire. It not only adorns the skin - it merges with it and becomes its secret…

Here, the creative mastery of the perfumer is impressively revealed - how sensitively he has played with nuances, how carefully he has sought the perfect balance.
Such perfumery art touches and fascinates me, making the encounter with the scent a true experience.

The only downside - the bottle design. The earlier fragrances of the brand were bottled in simple, elegant flacons with the brand logo. Unfortunately, these have since been discontinued.

L'Eau Triple Al Kassir immediately intoxicates with a parade of lush spices, including cardamom, the most popular oriental spice, cinnamon, ginger, clove, to which geranium adds a hint of very fresh rose, patchouli of lush roundness, and the osmanthus flower brings a sensual, opulent touch of honey and leather.
However, some fragrance notes of the perfume are missing in the official pyramid on Fragrantica, which requires a correction.

The triple water “Al Kassir” is a unique water-based fragrance, in which a sacred sandalwood reveals itself, delighting in cardamom and patchouli. This divine accord wraps around the skin like velvet, never imposing itself excessively.

I have never seen a perfume that has a milky color. It is recommended to spray this fragrance and lightly massage it into the skin; only then does it unfold in its full glory. L'Eau Triple is an alcohol-free fragrance that does not dry out the skin.
Its innovative formulation combines a deliberately limited number of ingredients, hardly a dozen. 92% of the ingredients are of natural origin.

To enable the production of the emulsion, emulsifiers are present (hydrogenated lecithin, polyglyceryl-10 laurate), and to ensure stability over time, preservatives (sodium benzoate) and pH adjusters (citric acid) are added.

Year 1221, Monastery Santa Maria Novella, Florence, Italy. The monks of the Dominican order decide to establish the house Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. In the garden of the monastery, they cultivate medicinal plants, study their healing properties, and prepare unique essences, balms, and healing ointments. The turning point comes in 1533 when the monks create the perfume “l’Aqua della Regina” - the first perfume of the house Santa Maria Novella. The reason for this is the wedding of Caterina de Medici and Henry II - King of France from the Valois dynasty.

For a long time, production was secluded and only carried out within the monastery walls, but in 1612 the pharmacy opened its doors to the general public, making its unique products accessible to everyone, first in Italy and then beyond. The Grand Duke of Tuscany grants the production the title “Workshop of His Royal Majesty.” Even to this day, this oldest Florentine pharmacy has preserved its traditions and proudly presents its unique creations. All products are made only from herbs and ingredients of natural origin and are not tested on animals.

I have come to know “Acqua della Regina” (Water for the Queen), a citrus fougère fragrance that I also liked very much and noted down, but I particularly highlighted “Rosa Novella,” which absolutely must find a place in my collection!

“Rosa Novella” is the epitome of the scent that fills the garden of Santa Maria Novella in May. At the start, the cologne gives a proper citrus burst that feels zesty and fresh, and then makes way for a subtle rose scent. It is so beautiful! This rose is rather green, not least because it is composed together with oregano and moss. It is without oily or velvety heaviness in the background; on the contrary: it shines like a debutante at a ball - fragile, graceful, full of dreams and plans…

Rosa Novella lasts on my skin for up to 4 hours, which is remarkable for an Eau de Cologne. A light, delicate veil remains, and I am glad that it is time to spray myself again with this amazing feel-good scent!

This perfume caught my attention with its appearance, - it looks like a pebble sitting atop another pebble. Such a bottle will surely adorn any perfume cabinet. And of course, I was intrigued by its complex, rich scent pyramid.

The fusion of many components in Fusion Sacrée Obscur sounds very harmonious, like a melody - each note flows smoothly into the next. Its balsamic waves that drift through the air feel unattainable and painfully beautiful…
A scattering of spices and a caramel-sweet-salty note with a pronounced celery-cardamom aroma make it exceptional and authentic.

I can't say that summer is its best season. In my opinion, it will reveal its full splendor in autumn and winter. I will keep my sharing decant well until the time comes. ;)

Fusion Sacrée is sublime in character, - the celery as a fragrance note should not confuse you! It is by no means ordinary, but… how can I already claim that here? …

It is an absolutely unisex fragrance and is definitely worth a try!

Allessandro Gualtieri has decided to create a new Nasomatto fragrance after reading the book "MOSCOW-PETUSHKI." This belongs to the underground literature of the Soviet era by the Russian writer Venedict Erofeev and is a pseudo-autobiographical work of an alcoholic about alcoholics and alcohol.
Very vividly written, philosophical, with many details that represent the aesthetics of alcoholism. The main character of the book advises on how to make cocktails from medications, beer, cologne, and nail polish. Mainly men drink anything that can intoxicate them: from shoe polish to cheap Eau de Toilette.

Did Gualtieri want to make the experience of drinking perfume more pleasant for the degraded individuals??? The story remains silent on this.

Baraonda is an alcoholic aroma, but its theme is based on much nobler drinks: whisky and port wine.
However, whisky bids farewell quite soon and gives way to a sweet and rich port wine, in whose aroma I can trace nuances of dried apples and plums. The woody part of the composition is inseparably linked to the wine and continues it. It develops the motif of a wine barrel and brings a warm and slightly animalistic tone, which is in turn supported by Ambroxan.
The best part of the fragrance does not have much longevity and disappears from my wrist after about 4 hours. In the base, a sweet-fruity-woody tone remains, which is hardly perceptible after 6 hours of spraying.

Conclusion:
Baraonda is inferior to the temptress - China White, which seems much more decadent and alluring to me.

I would like to thank IrisNobile for sending me a sample of Baraonda.
