Intimissimi

This was the perfect talcum powder that still managed to smell sexy somehow! Such a well done fragrance and with major lasting power and sillage. I remember buying it three times, the last time in the new packaging before Intimissimi decided to abandon its fragrance line completely (last edition was not Intimissimi, Innocente but it was sold in bottle with a pink cap with a transperent little sphere on it). I remember that when buying lingerie in Intimissimi the saleperson used to spray it on the thin paper with which they wrapped the silky lingerie or sometimes in the paper shopping bag, good memories! Similar to Harajuku Baby (og) but more sexy, similar to L'Erbolario Petali & Fiori but more warm then P&F, similar to Giardini di Toscana Blu Indaco but without almond in the base, similar to Acqua Incanta by Gritti but much more static and less complex then that. Also, it is worth pointing out that this smells nothing like Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige edp or edt (or Iris by L'Erbolario, maybe more similar to Iris Tenue from L'Erbolario which is long, long gone). If anyone is able to find a bottle I strongly suggest to grab it without second thought, in case you are a lover of powdery fragrances.

First walking into the intimissimi store i couldn't help but notice how good it smelled. So when i was offered a bottle of perfume with my purchase i assumed it was the scent i was smelling and said yes straight away. Right off the bat, when you first spray or smell the nozzle the scent is intense, almost sickly. But the dry down is unlike anything i've ever smelled. It's pure powder, but somehow manages to have depth. It loses its "heat" throughout the day, but still retains the warm clean scent. It's sexy and intimate, totally powdery without being old-ladylike. Dried down it doesn't feel like wearing fragrance, it's like your skin but better. I can't emphasize enough how much i recommend trying this if you have chance!!!

The perfect powdery fragrance! I didn't expect too much, but it wins! Pure talc, but it is more sophisticated than simple babypowder, and fresher than make-ups.Cool, soft and feminine with a hint of aristrocracy. Perfection! And it is longlasting.

This perfume is now called No. 1 and the bottle is different than pictured. It's in a similar bottle to their fragrance, Unica, except the bottle is clear and the cap is nude. As a girl with an Italian childhood, this is literal Italian baby powder in a perfume, and yet it doesn't strike me as juvenile. Another reviewer mentioned it has depth to it, which is true. It's warm and it is soft; like a woman in sheer cashmere. In fact, I would say it smells just the way Intimissimi's ultralight tops feel: gloriously soft and comforting, an angel's hug in the haze of a fluffy cloud. I generally don't like powdery perfume, but I favor this for its nostalgic value. You only need ONE spray at a distance to make this one work. My husband absolutely hates it, sucks for him. Haha. Also, little mention on the availability of this perfume: you can only buy this in-store. If you spend enough money at Intimissimi, the employees will offer it to you at the price of $19 (it is usually $70).

It reminds me of Borotalco, too. But for those days when i want to smell powdery i just combine my Borotalco talcum with 1-2 sprays of Chanel No5 eau premiere and this combo will last for up to 12 hours on my skin and as hours go by, it gets even better and much much softer. Intimissimi is pretty linear and a bit harsh and also not very longlasting. To sum up: a pretty decent eau de toilette for those days when I stay at home, will probably buy it one day.
