Another fragrance with all the hype, promising to revolutionise the world, yet it makes an absolute racket upon entry. Gentlemen, this is a bomb; I’m not sure whether to rate it for going out looking like a total mess or simply well-groomed. That almost rubbery oud is there from the very start, giving off an asphalt scent, like a freshly tarred road. Upon application, you get a blend heavy on citrus and pepper that recalls petrol, but without that earthy or rotten tone of normal petrol, always with a metallic touch. The dry-down is curious. The mint is very noticeable, providing an exquisite freshness that is much appreciated, as without it, everything before would be overwhelming. The vetiver is also present, adding a spicy touch and reinforcing that greenery. I’m surprised the rose and neroli haven’t received more praise; they are crystalline and project with iron-like strength for about three hours. It is very distinctive and complicated; that rubbery oud is peculiar. I compare it to Nasomatto’s Fantomas, something unique and odd. It is quite unisex; cold and moderate temperatures are your friends, whereas in heat it would be madness. That spiced green and mineral character makes it ideal for formal or semi-formal occasions, but with certain nuances that require at least a blazer, not a tuxedo. It lasts 8/9 hours; on clothes, I wouldn’t even dare to count. In summary: something to stand out and that will make you explain the story of why the perfumer created it. Certainly, you’ll have more conversation topics.
A peculiar fragrance. Second decant I’ve bought and same sensations. I like it a lot, but I’m not sure if to the point of buying the bottle. Humble opinion, I don’t agree with the impressions I’m reading about it. To me, it smells floral, with a strange aldehydic hint and a smoky part. It doesn’t smell of asphalt, petrol, or leather, or at least not with the relevance others note. Perhaps the name guides the olfactory impressions of many people. Given the theme, I expected something more masculine; it seems totally unisex. The scent reveals the natural quality of its components. Projection and longevity are very good (7-8 hours), especially closer to the skin. What I would highlight most about Nuvolari is that I don’t think it reminds me of any other, and that is a great merit.
This is an ode to the adrenaline of motorsport, capturing everything from the smell of asphalt to engine oil. Haha, Cristiano Canali is an olfactory alchemist who seems to have a doctorate in ‘olfactology’. This fragrance is as complex as a V8 engine, if you know what that is. It is, I would say, a high-speed olfactory experience. I’m blown away.
