Giardinodiercole

Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain has long been considered to be a masterpiece by many enthusiasts, and while I agree, its scent profile falls just outside of what I want in a spicy aromatic fragrance. Giardinodiercole, however, is everything I wanted L'Air du Desert Marocain to be. Not only is it much more easy to wear starting from the very first second upon spraying it, but it also retains that INCREDIBLY intoxicating drydown I've grown to love from Tauer's creation. Admittedly, L'Air du Desert Marocain's drydown has what I perceive to be a bit more vanilla which makes it even more comforting, but Giardinodiercole's drydown is nothing to scoff at, either. If you're a fan of incense, this is a MUST HAVE for any enthusiast's collection. It is pricey ($318), but as of this post, you can find it on either OlfactoryFactoryLLC ($120) or Jomashop ($135) for a damn good discount. Supplies WILL be limited, so if they're out of stock, just sign up for notifications. It took 2 weeks or so for them to restock for me. Good luck!

#1245 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I've previously tried out Agatho's "Fauno" and "195.a.C." and loved both of them as I do this scent. The opening is very after-shower powdery, and the pimento, which ruined Tom Ford "Grey Vetiver" for me, totally works here, as do the juniper, the incense, even the rhubarb, another note I generally don't appreciate. The rest is pretty standard stuff, but all together it's a scent I love smelling and will love wearing. Expensive as it is, it's full bottle worthy for me. It's long lasting, moderate projecting, and the incense is mild enough to be inoffensive in an office environment, but I think it's primarily a date scent.

A fine combo of juniper, incense, pepper, cardamom, pencil shavings, and sandalwood. I would say it shares some characteristics with Ormonde Man and Wonderwood, but this is much more refined and maintains its own identity. I just love and appreciate the dry, smoky, and creamy finish, which works wonders in colder temps. The resemblances to Tau by Onyrico (same nose) are there also, but that one evokes a greener and mossier scent profile. The bottle alone is gorgeous and exudes elegance, which is a plus in my book. For what's it worth, I get nothing to the likes of Epic Man.

Absolutely amazing combination of juicy clean citruses and refreshing herbs with some aromatic and spicy qualities . The base is quite woody and dark, but it blends soooooo well together that in the end you’re getting a perfectly fresh fragrance that instantly gives you an energy boost. Love it!

A very evocative perfume, which tastes of ancient. A "smoky" air, a trail immortalized over time that has remained in the air, as if to testify to that era. A complex, very beautiful perfume! Sillage: 7./10 Longevity: 8./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10
