  I found it hard to write this because it smells like an olfactory Scherzo: it enraptures some and leaves others perplexed. It begins with green, harsh citrus mixed with another sweetened, liquorous, and rasping note, creating an aura that’s unnatural, almost plastic. This note lasts more than half an hour for an opening. Then the second act sounds with simultaneous woody and citrus chords, like a polyphonic chant. Gradually the third act enters with the vanilla, which steals the spotlight without the previous chorus disappearing. At two or three hours, the vanilla shines with a pleasant, shareable eucalyptus trail, as the scent is controversial at first and many repel it. At eight or ten hours, the intensity remains brutal, though the trail doesn’t reach as far. Then a sweet, endearing chord arrives, with a soft, high voice that lingers on the skin for hours and on clothes for days. Never buy it blindly or judge it after a few hours. It’s one of my favourites and I know it will make me stand out, for better or worse.

  I struggled to find its place. I tested it in various climates and it always felt synthetic, ozonic, and camphoraceous, like stagnant water with antifungal. One dry spring day made the magic happen: after the violets, it flips into strong eucalyptus before returning to ozonic. It’s not overpowering but projects well and lasts until the shower. I see it as unisex-feminine for mid-season. I didn’t love it, but it’s novel, with a touch similar to Alaia (another saint I’m not devoted to, though I liked this one more). Pleasant: 5/10 Interesting: 7/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 8/10

  It’s a true classic with brutal quality and plenty of nuances. The problem is it smells like my ex’s clothes, with that divine fabric softener they used. I suppose that’s the ‘ozonic’ note. The violet leaves from La Tosca are a delight; it smells clean, nothing like those ambroxan messes.

  It’s a classic-profile perfume, in the best sense, of quality and with a brutal performance full of nuances. Unfortunately, it reminds me of the scent of an ex-boyfriend’s clothes; I don’t know what fabric softener he used, but it was divine. I imagine that’s the ozonic note. A delight these violet leaves from La Tosca, truly. This is truly a clean scent and not those ambroxan and similar messes.
