    I’m not really taken with this Italian niche house. It seems foolish to them to promote ‘layering’—superimposing their fragrances to create something new; it feels like a lack of respect for perfumers. However, this scent suits me well. It’s warm, very wearable, and radiates elegance. It has character; it’s spiced, an intimate and urban oriental, modern. Yes, it’s a moderate aroma with medium longevity, but I adore that soft resinous sweetness with a natural nutmeg note. It doesn’t stand out or leave a lasting impression, but it’s perfect for shy, intellectual people who prefer silence and discretion. Among the Etro scents I’ve tried, this is the one I liked most, alongside New Tradition, although this one has more charm. It’s a perfume of natural essences for those who dislike artifice.

    I stumbled upon Etro fragrances this morning. Greene Street has an interesting opening, green and slightly spiced. The heart is more floral and oriental, smelling delicious. The dry-down is very unisex. The benzoin fits perfectly, though I’d appreciate a longer-lasting incense. It’s a lovely oriental-spiced scent with floral and incense notes that give it charm. Interesting at the end.
