Pioggia Salata

I go easy with this as I love it so much and don't want to run out. When I close my eyes this fragrance makes me smile and takes me to the coast which I love so much. It's not necessarily the salt water smell with this it's the salt air on a windy day. Not tropical just clean salty air and wet green gardens. It's calming. A more personal spa fragrance for the soul, and the SELF. A must try for anyone who likes true ocean scents, not all that marine fruity tootle stuff.

I live on Mediterranean coast (South Italy) where oleanders, eucalyptus, pitosporum, palm trees and sea lilies are everywhere. This intoxicating perfume smells just like the air on a fresh summer morning I use to smell here. It me makes me fell like I’m walking through the gardens, still wet by sea water. Magistrally created, well balanced, this long lasting, great fragrance let me bring my olfactive world wherever I go ! Brava Silvana !!!

One of my favorites for the summer. Beach Beach Beach but without the sun lotion. Very well made. Imagine the end of a warm day at the beach. You take a shower and wash with olive soap. Put on a cotton dress and take a walk along the seaside to your fav restaurant and as soon a cool breeze touches your skin..... That is Pioggia Salata!

Love love love. I’m really in love with this scent. If you can imagine hot day in the Mediterranean coast, salty wind from the sea and wonderful oleanders blooming around... there you are. Must have for happy scents lovers.

What a marvelous creation! It's a marine fragrance, but its peculiarity is that aquatic notes are not the prevailing accord. Pioggia Salata has a dense, rich and warm odor, like the one that you can smell when you are walking around the paths of the coasts of many mediterranean places, when the sky is filled of rainy clouds before a sea storm. The soil is parched by the sun, and the shrubby plants, the aromatic herbs, the colorful blooming of buganville, hibiscus and oleanders, surround you with their wild beauty and their astonishing fragrances. You can sniff in the air the salty smell of the sea, but the balsamic scent of the flora overwhelms you and all your senses. Pioggia Salata even has some powdery accords, maybe for the presence of hibiscus and sand notes (mentioned in the official site as "hints of sand"), that give to the perfume a velvety sensation. And yes, I can feel a soothing, sensual scent that reminds to me the salty and ambery perfume of the purest, golden sand of Sardegna! Pioggia Salata has an interesting development on my skin: the opening is full of salty and seaweed notes, blended with a very strong balsamic accord (eucalyptus, of course). Then the balsamic accord decreases, while the salty notes keep to walk alongside the sweetness of ylang ylang, hibiscus, pitosporum and sand. The drydown is ambery and a little musky, the salty and seaweed notes leave a slight trace, like a mild, beautiful remembrance. I'd like its sillage a little more heavy (it's very soft, close to my skin), but the lasting power is definitely long lasting (about 8-9 hours). Pioggia Salata is an intense perfume, very sensual, refined and unusual... next to Womanity (audacious, oceanic, misunderstood) and Citrus (simple, clean, crisp), it's one of my favorite fragrances for the summer: a little jewel of italian niche perfumery, a great discovery! Edit: yesterday I applied Pioggia Salata on both sides of my wrists, and then I went out without taking the bottle with me: I found that the sillage is better, it radiates within arm lenghts! Great!
