Smeriglio

It's like smelling a bunch of jasmine with some ylang ylang in between. It is a constant of this brand to list many notes in their fragrances that in reality are not present except one in two. At the opening the bergamot is perceptible for 3 seconds, the coffee and cinnamon are not present, the violet makes the jasmine greener for a while, as if the stem were also present. In the central part, the presence of tuberose and osmanthus is missing, even if they are listed on the manufacturer's website. For 4 hours the perfume does not deviate from being an accord between jasmine and ylang ylang, then the performance drops and it becomes a light fragrance with amber together with something that could recall sandalwood. The suede is absolutely not perceptible. Definitely a more feminine fragrance.

It is a singular perfume. It can't lead anyone to associate it with a basilica, if it weren't for the name. I made some of my friends who aren't passionate about perfumes smell it, they told me: "let's eat pizza tonight". They're not entirely wrong because the protagonist note is thyme, which in this case is identical to oregano. At the beginning there is a bit of rosemary, which however remains an appearance. After a few minutes you can perceive the incense and a creamy note, which always remain only on the margins of the main note of oregano. So we have a combination of oregano, incense and milk which lasts unchanged for approximately 4 hours.At this point, the perfume turns towards delicate woody notes (guaiac wood) and cypriol oil.
