Il Sentiero degli Dei

I do not get powder from this. To my nose it is a dense and chewy rich sweet resin with a starchy quality. All notes blend together so well that I can't pick out any of the individual notes. It is a sensual perfume. I absolutely love it. It is my more grown up version of a sweet sugar cloud.

Nuclear-powered powder bomb with one of the most aggressively expansive, bone-dry, almost chalky versions of iris I've ever come across. Very refined, like ultra-processed flour or icing sugar or talcum, sweet and redolent of 'safe space' smells - it conjures silky dry talc, soft fluffiness of warm towels, gently feathery texture. Yet also pretty relentless in projection and the longevity is frankly scary (up to 12h on skin and well past 18 on fabric, and that was spraying sparingly from a small tester vial.) I couldn't pin down if it was loud and too artificial, or real quality work; definitely pretty one-note with no great changes over time, and that one note is a sweeter, more femme-tending, mainstream iris-powder that you may well love, but which never lets up. Overall it reminded me irresistibly of that scene in the film 'Witness' where they nearly drown in a crushing shower of grain inside a silo - it's just SO dry, almost choking, SO powdery that it almost makes me cough, and it's a bit too pale-pink in aura overall for my comfort. But if you want pretty classy, long-lasting, big iris powder, then look no further - fill your boots (and hems, and pockets, and nostrils) with this cloud of contentment.
