Ermanno Scervino Eau de Parfum

I remember vividly buying a 100 ml bottle of Scervino EDP before pandemic, during a holiday in Italy for my birthday, in 2019! What a beautiful time was back then, when world was better and not so crazy set on self-destruction. Ermanno Scervino EDP is a gorgeous white floral, highlighting masterfully a gourmand tuberose. But it’s not a sickening sweet gourmand, it’s first and foremost a big bouquet of various white flowers: tuberose, jasmine and neroli with creamy coconut and gianduia, the gourmand nuances, a bright, zesty citrus touch, all layered on a smooth base consisting of vanilla and cashmeran. I know tuberose is not for everybody, but if, like me, you adore tuberose and like your fragrances on the gourmand side, Ermanno Scervino EDP is impeccably done. A very balanced, soft, nuanced, smooth, elegant and very wearable, day to day scent. Feminine to the core, exclusively for spring and summer wear, with moderate longevity and rather minimal sillage. It’s not a room filler perfume, it’s more intimate, soft and feminine, alluring, for close encounters... This perfume is a luxurious one that evokes good memories and makes me smile every time I wear! And a very underrated one! I literally have not heard a single soul talking about this on social media. So if you wear ES EDP, you’ll smell unique, first of all because not many people have it, and second because it doesn’t smell like any other fragrance on the market that I am aware of. I own some of the fragrances listed in the reminds me of section and I personally don’t think this smells similar at all with Orchid Soleil, Place Vendome or Girl of Now.

I blind bought this because A: it has a ganduja note (and that is one of my favorite chocolates, ever, as I was born and grew up near Turin) and B: the super low price. This is actually a very nice perfume: it is sweet and flowery. The tuberose and jasmine are strong, and the gianduja, vanilla, and coconut give it sweetness and warmth. It is not tropical smelling at all, and it is not too sweet, but you have to like strong white flowers. The bottle is very nice too, the beautiful red murano glass style cap, the sweet little tulle bow, and the heavy bottle. An underrated gem. I love it. 🤍❤️💐🍫

In the top notes here is some tasty dessert, something creamy, like those aromatic natural ice creams in Italy, Spain etc. After dessert evaporates it comes out the bunch of flowers on the musk base. To me this fragrance starts to remind very much "Daisy" by Marc Jacobs.

"Paradise" cocktail of white flowers and coconut. Can't find candy. Pretty elegant. Soft, sweet, warm, not cloying. A little bitterness at the bottom.

This bottle and cap is lovely. It has a little scarf! I’ve realised I have a real soft spot for perfume + scarves I think because my scarf always ends up with a very well-blended symphony of perfumes I wear, and it’s incredibly comforting. I blind bought this one because the nose, Mathilde Bijaoui, created my all-time favourite perfume, and I wanted to try something else she’d worked on. This had a gianduia note listed, and I love chocolate perfumes (plus all the other notes sounded like my thing), and this was on sale for super cheap, so I clicked *buy.* Make no mistake: this is a tuberose bomb. If you're not a die-hard tuberose fan, it probably won't be for you. I agree with pretty much every review already written below, it’s a lovely, summery floral. The coconut isn’t obvious, but it gives the blend some creaminess. There is something slightly green in the opening. It’s also very musk-heavy, and my partner described it as a bit soapy. I quite like it. It feels mature and classy. *notes: -If you like Kalotinis Jasmine of Athens or Rebatchi Vanille Riviera, you'll probably quite like this -If you hate musk, you might not like this -The bottle is glass, and the cap is plastic (someone described it like Murano glass below, and I totally agree). It's very beautiful. -If the scarf is in the way of the sprayer, turn the sprayer around. Problem solved!
