Šfarìa

The sales person of the little niche perfume shop where I bought this told me šfarìa means freshly fallen snow (maybe only in northern Italian dialect?). I think that matches the scent quite beautifully. The scent is somehow fresh, peaceful and warm at the same time. Now I always picture myself in a log cabin in the mountains. Its morning and I’m sitting by the fireplace with a warm cup of tea and around me are the woods and the snow is falling. ...guess this will be my new go to winter fragrance. Though I’m curious to see how it‘ll work in warmer weather.

A gorgeous unisex scent for the colder months, or a crisp summer's evening by the water. A bright opening of bergamot and elemi that quickly rounds out thanks to the sweeter notes. The pine and fir are perfectly balanced and are complemented wonderfully by the balsamic notes. Elvoves into an ever so slightly warm-spicy, sweet, and comforting scent that is blended together by the smooth richness of sandalwood. This fragrance is a warm torch on a cold day and is a staple in my wintertime scents.

insanely nice scent, woody and citrussy (got that citrussy) in a way that makes it cozy but uplifting. not sure if i'd wear it in the summer, but we leave that to be seen. otherwise its an all-occasions one, not cloying or annoying. longevity is a slight problem imo, lasts around 3 hours on me (or i go noseblind, but i've also asked people after that time if they smell it and they've said they don't) but the scent makes up for it. overpriced, but highly recommend if you can get it on sale

This is a beautiful fragrance. It took me less than 5 seconds of smelling a sample of it in the store to know I had to buy it immediately. It's so unique, warm, uplifting, and comforting. The bergamot, balsam and artemisia open up a sweet, smooth, creamy and minty undercurrent that's both spicy and fresh. It's powdery, woody, citrussy, and somehow slightly lactonic all at once. I've been looking for a lighter fragrance like this for colder months and I've finally found the perfect one.

Yup, very very good fragrance. Soft subtle warm and somewhat spicy, greenish citrus. The patchouli and peru balm are a bit earthy while the sandelwood is creamy. Sometimes it's a real shape-shifter and it becomes smoky, not much but enough to detect it. Fits all seasons easily and can be worn at many occasions, clubbing, work, dinner-party or just to comfort yourself. As i said: very very good fragrance! 94
