China

It's such a shame that this has been discontinued. It was my mom's signature scent, and I used to love sharing it with her because it was quite unisex. I wish L'erbolario would bring it back. In my opinion, this is one of their best fragrances of all time, right up there with Corteccia. There's just something so special about it. Hard to describe, but it's definitely unique. An elegant, warm and pleasantly aromatic note. Spicy and fresh note of caraway and orange, followed by the aromatic and citrus note mixed with the white floral and musky base note of jasmine and musk. It is a particular fragrance from the unisex spicy woody group. The scent is delicious and inebriating and evokes the sensations of past summers. It has a slightly sweet, powdery scent that's balanced out by a hint of earthiness. It's not too floral, but it's not too masculine either. It's just right. Whenever I smell it, I'm instantly transported back to my childhood and all the happy memories I have with my mom. It's a true gem, and it's a shame that it's no longer available. If you ever come across a bottle of it, I highly recommend giving it a try if you can get your nose on it.

China, oh China! What a pleasant surprise! This exotic perfume is very spicy and on the heavier side. It's perfect for autumn/winter use, for those cold days and dark nights. I didn't detect caraway in it - definitely cloves though, and maybe nutmeg too. In fact, at some point it smelled like a real SPICE CAKE on my skin, and not in a bad way! Good longevity (lasts for hours), good price and a charming bottle. I definitely recommend this perfume for anyone who likes spicy/exotic smells! It's also a natural perfume, so it's not overwhelming at all.

For me it will remain as one of the best perfumes ever. I totally adore it. I even wrote to L'Erbolario to describe my love for it. I wished they could see how beloved this perfume is. They were very polite in their reply. But it seems it might not return to production. I refuse to believe it though. The perfume, body cream and the whole collection is unforgettable to me. Assolutamente, completamente eccezionale.

Uno dei migliori profumi che io abbia mai annusato! Lo definirei unisex, è molto particolare, non affatto scontato. é uno speziato fresco, che si può utilizzare sia in estate che in inverno. Non riesco proprio a capire perché l'erbolario non lo produca più!! è diventato introvabile! :(

I tested yesterday in a shop... I like it, it's so spiced, sparkling...
