Gieffeffe Bianco Assoluto

It's a fresh, light, clean, floral/fruity frag. Very easy reach and versatile, when you want something to refresh you in a hot summer day. I can detect the citrus notes in the begining. The iris gives to the fragrance a light powdery vibe. In the end there's this musky note, which gives the feeling "my skin, but better". I like it a lot!!!

Gieffeffe Bianco Assoluto by Gianfranco Ferré is a true historical artefact of 90s perfumery. Although it was born in a decade dominated by fresh and minimalist fragrances (think of the global success of CK One), this "Bianco Assoluto" version manages to stand out for a decidedly more complex and multifaceted structure. Although the name suggests an ethereal and "white" freshness, the olfactory pyramid reveals an extremely structured perfume. It is a fragrance that plays on the contrast between the liveliness of citrus fruits and the spicy warmth of the heart. The beginning is a Mediterranean explosion. The mix of Bergamot, Lemon and Orange is refreshing, but it is the note of Osmanthus and Peach that makes the difference, adding a velvety and slightly fruity texture that avoids the "classic cologne" effect. In his soul the perfume becomes intriguing. While Jasmine and Rose maintain elegance, Cardamom and Nutmeg add a spicy and dry touch. Iris gives that "clean" and powdery sensation that justifies the name "White". The closure is solid and woody. Sandalwood and Musk guarantee a soft trail, while Patchouli gives depth, making it unisex that veers slightly towards masculine in the final hours. Gieffeffe Bianco Assoluto is the ideal choice for those looking for a perfume that communicates cleanliness and order, without however appearing banal or too faded. It is a fragrance that smells like a "freshly ironed white shirt", but with a subtle spiciness that reveals the refined character typical of the Ferré style. Compared to the classic Gieffeffe, the Bianco Assoluto appears denser and less "aquatic", perfect for those who want a freshness that does not evaporate after half an hour.

Smells like clean sheets or like freshly ironed clothes
