Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I absolutely loved this fragrance. It has a super powerful opening that lasts about half an hour, then settles down to a skin scent; on my skin it lasts 3 to 4 hours, but I’d buy it a thousand times again because the aroma is delicious. Plus, it’s affordable, so I don’t mind reapplying when needed. And what about the packaging? The little bottle is beautiful for adorning my vanity ♥️
The grape note is very prominent; it’s exquisite and lasts between 5 and 6 hours.
Florence by Roberto Cavalli! It tastes like a party to me! I adored it. It’s a different and bold perfume. Although described as a floral chypre, it has an oriental floral vibe. Its citrus opening with mandarin and blackcurrants gives it a cheerful character, while the floral tones soften the composition. A few minutes in, you get a fresh, radiant blend of neroli blossom, grapefruit petals, and an exotic touch of hibiscus seed. The dry down features patchouli, musk and amber, giving deep accords; at some stages it smells of oud with a slight tobacco halo. It’s fresh, feminine and delicious for spring and summer, day or night. On my skin it lasts about 8 hours and has good sillage. Launched in 2017, the nose behind it is the talented Marie Salamagne. The bottle recalls vintage apothecary jars, heavy glass with geometric patterns in purple and clear, very beautiful. It’s staying in my collection!
In the first minute it turns sweet and smells rich like grape, reminiscent of Givenchy’s Secret Elixir; but then it changes too much, becoming boozy and very heavy for my taste, like an eighties perfume. I don’t know… I’ll give it a second chance when I see it again as I was in a rush that day, perhaps I didn’t appreciate it well…
