Have you worn Malatesta?

    Don’t get stuck thinking it smells like paper; it evolves beautifully on the skin. It works better in the cold; if it’s winter but you’re indoors with heating, it loses its edge. I can’t quite explain it, but a bit of warmth makes a woody leather dominate everything, overshadowing the rest, especially the iris which makes it special for me. For me, the violet stands out more than the iris. The atomiser is very poor or I received a faulty one. I fill my decant and spray from there, and it works much better. Also, for me, it improves if you hold it close, as it becomes more concentrated.

    Don’t let it stay as just paper; it evolves beautifully on the skin. Works best in the cold; if it’s winter but you’re indoors with heating it loses its edge. I can’t quite explain it but a little warmth makes the woody leather dominate everything washing out the rest especially the iris which is what makes it special for me. For me the violet stands out more than the iris. The atomiser is very poor or I received a faulty one; I fill my own decant and spray from there and it works much better. Also for me it improves if you hold it close as it becomes more concentrated.

    Just received a sample of this perfume. I applied it first then looked up the notes. My first impression is that it smells like flour and freshly cut carrots. Now that I’ve seen the bottle I wonder if it’s intentional xD

    Excellent perfume. A very powdery floral iris with slightly orange notes upon application, followed by some earthy/woody dry-downs. To be precise, it’s quite similar to Armani Privé’s Cuir Zerzura but less sweet.
