Vento Forte Extrait de Parfum

Muddy, watery, and airy, with that unmistakable ozonic quality. It carries the scent of rain puddles. I imagine wearing it while the storm patters against the windows, curled up in bed with a book, the air heavy with freshness and comfort. Sounds like a most wonderful experience... That said, the perfume itself was inspired by the dramatic moment in the Bible when the Israelites stood trapped between pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea, and God pushed the waters back by a strong wind, dividing the sea. It is meant to embody that divine force, the urgency of escape and the relentlessness of pursuit. And yet, I find myself giving it a different role, a perfect perfume to wear quietly within four walls, at home, for myself alone.

I have registered the account on fragrantica just to review this fragrance. Actually never intended as I am usually too lazy to do so. It smells like my uncle and I am not joking. It smells like a man in mid 40s that smokes cigarettes a dozen per day with some light aftershave/cologne on. That is amazing. For me its like 9/10 as I was looking for perfect cigarette smoke scent and so far is the best one on market, the most realistic that I smelled in my life. I have 12-15 niche fragrances and many smoke ones: akro, fellipo, imaginary authors and etc.

I absolutely love it ! First I have bought a tester and then a full bottle. It's the most "rain" smell parfume I have ever tried. But it's also very strong and ozony. First very strong note is a moss after half an hour it's so fresh and ozony as the rain has passed. For some reason it smells salty on my husband's skin. I recommend first trying because it has a character and it's strong at the beginning.

One of my favourites among the newly released FSs. I don’t know if I would wear it, but I can’t stop smelling it : it’s a breathe of nostalgia, of playing as child outside after it rained.

Smells like dark wet molded basement
