Anima

Ok so this i like...like A LOT! It's perfectly unisex. Leans very very slightly masculine, about this much👌🏾 You smell the florals off top, with seasonings of the plum and strawberry sifting through. It has depth so you know the other fruit notes are buried beneath. Thinking about getting a full bottle.🤔 If anyone tells you this smells like Erba Pura put an asterisk next to their name. They smell nothing alike UPDATE: I knew I'd figure it out! I couldn't shake what this reminded me of until one late night in the shower it hit me! This is basically Superz Endless Sea!

To me it has the same vibe like Accento Xerjoff, but with more sweetness added because of the pineapple and maybe the plum. Anima is more rounded. Long lasting, very luxurious presentation.

Very strong musk on dry down similar to Xerjoff Accento. The musk is eternal. Stays on your clothes after you wash them. Masculine leaning. Not very sweet despite all the fruity notes. I threw my sample away.

Floral, mineralic, a little woody, and a bit watery without being marine or aquatic. Moderately fruity-sweet, but not cloyingly so, nor gourmandy. Has a sort of watery sophisticated lotion smell to my nose. Safe but well executed, pleasant & modern; which is something I really like about Gritti as a house. Their fragrances can feel very safe and unassaulting, but theyre pretty much always very well done & pleasant while still smelling relatively modern and high end. Alot of niche houses just smell high end & safe but also smell a bit dated or overly classical (Looking at you Creed, Fragrance Du Bois & Clive Christian), or they just smell high end and luxurious but arent easily digestible or safe to wear around people (Amouage & some Xerjoffs). I like the fact that Gritti finds this balance between high end smelling fragrances that are still "wearable" and offer alot more utility. I also like the fact that their fragrances are somewhat ethereal, light and tasteful smelling. You dont have to worry about being that tacky, perfumey "cologne guy" because Gritti fragrances just smell kind of tastefully reserved, while still being present and detectable.

Very similar to Erba Pura with pungent tropical fruit notes, but then it evolves into a woody, soapy and musky scent. The drydown has a strong synthetic amber note. It feels harsh on my sinuses. Not a scent I would wear. A sample is enough for me.
