  Today I’m talking about the most beautiful addition to my collection of 2023: an extremely natural and carnal floral fragrance that has me completely smitten. This collection by Cristian Cavagna is an ode to the tuberose or neroli flower in different facets. Musa Paradisiaca, the scientific name for the banana tree, opens with a green note that hints at the paradise of neroli and Ylang Ylang that follows. The neroli, as the name suggests, smells of ripe bananas, and the floral sweetness is enhanced by the Ylang Ylang. I’ve read it has a faint, distant resemblance to Baccarat Rouge; I can detect it too, but it’s nothing alike. These similarities in the dry-down appear after the tenth hour, and in my opinion, they don’t make anyone feel it’s repetitive if you already own the MFK version or similar scents. It has a very notable trail and lasts more than 15 hours on my skin. Although I don’t mind compliments much, when I wear it, people can’t stop commenting on how good it smells and asking what it is. It’s spectacular, unforgettable, intoxicating, an absolute marvel. After using up the sample, I’ve already bought the full bottle and I’m eager to try more of his creations. Scent 10/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 10/10, Value for Money 8.5/10, Versatility 6.5/10, Packaging 9/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.

  Today I’m bringing you the most beautiful jewel in my 2023 collection: Musa Paradisiaca, a super natural and carnal floral that has me completely hooked. It’s Cristian Cavagna’s ode to tuberose in all its facets. The opening is green and already hints at that paradise of neroli and ylang-ylang that follows. As its name suggests, the neroli smells of ripe bananas, and the floral sweetness is amplified by the ylang-ylang. I’ve read it has a distant echo of Baccarat Rouge; I can also detect it, but it’s nothing alike. That similarity in the dry-down appears after the tenth hour, and in my opinion, it doesn’t make it seem repetitive if you already own MFK’s or similar scents. It has a brutal trail and lasts more than 15 hours on my skin. Although I don’t attach much importance to compliments, when you wear it, people simply won’t stop asking what you’re wearing. It’s spectacular, unforgettable, intoxicating, an absolute marvel. After using up the sample, I’ve already bought the full bottle and I’m eager to try more from the creator. Scent 10/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 10/10, Value for money 8.5/10, Versatility 6.5/10, Packaging 9/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.

  There are few things in my life that have been as special as Musa Paradisiaca. It’s a very distinctive, impactful, and easy-to-love perfume. It’s one of those that impress anyone due to its construction: the green opening of banana leaf is realistic yet friendly, as if it were caressing you, with a deep, slightly sweet neroli that gives a juicy and tropical sensation, perhaps thanks to the ylang-ylang. It feels like a blend of ingredients of another level that you won’t smell anywhere else; Italian, timeless, even metrosexual. It’s my first perfume with civet and I absolutely love it. These are the kind you’d take to a summer wedding. Unisex, though with a slight feminine touch. Something anyone should try. The price might be a deterrent, but works of art as valuable and original as these are worth every penny.

  There are few things I’ve tried in my life as special as Musa Paradisiaca. It’s a truly original fragrance that makes an impact and suits everyone perfectly. It impresses with its impeccable craftsmanship; upon first spray, it smells of the green part of a banana leaf – realistic yet incredibly friendly, as if it were caressing you. Then comes a deep, almost sweet neroli that gives a juicy, tropical sensation, certainly thanks to the Ylang Ylang. It’s a blend of ingredients on another level that you won’t find anywhere else: Italian, timeless, and I’d say metrosexual. It’s my first perfume with civet and I absolutely love it. These are the kind you’d want to wear to a summer wedding. It’s unisex, though it leans slightly feminine. Something anyone should try. The price might be a deterrent, but works of art as valuable and original as this are worth every penny.
