Sballo – Pure Essence

A really curious scent. Resinous rose with a twist from the hay, Vetiver and geranium. Bruno certainly seems to favour these particular notes. The rose is very evident along with the geranium bolstering it. With time I swear the green notes get stronger buts more like other notes are fading. The thyme definitely rules with time. I quite like the herbal twist. Finally the warm sweet resins dominate with a touch of vetiver as it finally fades. There is something about it that reminds me of 4160 Tuesdays Who Knew. It smells like it could be a Chypre. I'd say it was unisex and nice to wear at night. This is an oil with good longevity but the sillage is no more than arms length.

Beware: This is a patchouli based perfume! strong as hell. I definitely smell the rose. Here the rose is green; stripped of it floral aspects along with a stack of hay, sage and vetiver wrapped up in bundles of patchouli stuck to clumps of resin its also a little spicy and im wondering is the what lily and geranium mixed together with musk smells like? i dont know its kinda gnarly smelling must be very 1977 Its strange for me this perfume in that i dont think it smells good when im thinking about it but i like the feeling of having it on I have a good friend who loves patchouli and im wondering would he love this? I will be sending him some update: Once the perfume settles down for a few hours the romantic side of this really comes out it always stays a little wild but it also has a hard to describe vintage type prettiness to it although i am still curious as to whether or not this would work on a man it might be best suited for a lady

I stand at the entrance of a wooden chapel in the middle of a hayfield. The sun sets down on another cool, early autumn day. Fields as far as the eye can see. The chapel contains vases full of freshly picked roses, the scent wafting to the outside, and resins have been burnt. I reminisce the summer months that have passed and am unease about the upcoming colder months.

ACAMPORA e i suoi oli, è e sono, quello che si può definire PROFUMO, a chi piace IL PROFUMO non può fare a meno di averli, non esiste essenza da loro prodotta che non sia eccezionale..posso solo dire Grazie Acampora, A me fa impazzire una vaporizzata di Sballo(eau de Bruno) e un tocco di Nero(l'olio)....why not????

Finally a fragrance I like from Acampora; I tried 7 of the ladies parfums and all of them I could not stand but Sballo stands out of the crowd ;)! It is not a girlie fragrance but for an elegant lady (it reminds me of Opium). Like it - and the fact that Bruno Acampora can make parfums I also love!

If you like the scent of dried bales of hay and lots of it, to near exclusion of all else, then you have found your El Dorado in Sballo. There is so much hay, and so intense, that it actually makes my stomach turn a little. There is also a nice geranium note as well as something delicately sweet, green, and herbal in this concoction. I also smell a hint of patchouli, but thankfully the nose kept it at bay and didn't let it get too pungent. Nothing takes me straight to my family's farmland like this does. It's a nice perfume I guess, but I find it a bit flat, probably due to it being an oil.

se volete sperimentare il muschio animale e terroso allora questo profumo è ciò che fa per voi. non sento il patchouli, che pure compare nella piramide, tantomeno la rosa. solo un po' il geranio e un che di benzoino. io ho grandi, enormi difficoltà ad indossare il muschio. questa interpretazione, ottenuta senz'altro con materie prime di ottima qualità come sempre per acampora, dura ore ed ore, restituisce sentori riconducibili al più autentico muschio animale così difficile da ritrovare nelle formulazioni moderne. e per me è del tutto intollerabile. desolata.

To make the most musc this must wait for its full evolution that takes about 15 minutes going from a beginning almost unpleasant to evolve into a soft animal-like but never cloying note moderately floral persists for about 2 days, I really love this series also Seplasia, First T and Iranzol,aroma of undergrowth wet summer,scent is not for everyone.

On a man: Aged leather brogues Slim fitted denim Brown suede jacket Paul Smith shirt An old faschioned pair of sunglasses Holding a lit Muratti while driving an Alfa Romeo "Duetto" along the Irpina countryside with Morrissey's "Everyday is like sunday" pumped up.

Smells bitter to me! I do get rose and many of the notes listed, but definitely smells strong and bitter.
