Regine dei Prati

dreamy, floral and enchanting. Luckily, this one is not powdery, like most other L`erbolario floral fragrances (that I really dislike due to that powder) and it is also not sweet as you would expect from many floral-labeled fragrances. Main notes, as stated inside of the box, are : green leaf, bois de Rose, chamomile, Queen of Meadows (flower) and Cedarwood (I love cedarwood !). Other notes that are listed on fragrantica and that I can also recognize are wild flowers, jasmine, rosewood, and a hint of red berries, chamomile and daisy and just a tiny bit of musk (which gives just a slight, subtle powdery note as it dries down in few hours). Longevity, on me, is about 6 hours on skin, while on clothes it stays for over 2 days. Sillage is moderate in my experience, it is not overpowering nor seductive type of fragrance, it is very dreamy, soft, ethereal and breezy. It has therapeutic quality to it, I find it to be kind of daydreaming type of fragrance. I think they made a lovely job combining green and herbal notes with these specific flowers, with such a delicate and ephemeral result. This one is the one that is not aromatic, nor sweet, nor powdery and it is more soft-floral in their line. It combines beautifully with my diy oil perfumes, especially lily and rose (layered, if you are into that, and make your own diy fragrances). This fragrance deifinitely has a story to it, it is not like any other floral fragrance, there is some lovely narrative to its composition - it is soft and dreamy though. I think the name is also very well chosen for this fragrance, as Queen of the meadows ( Filipendula ulmaria ), has delicate, graceful, creamy-white flowers with beautiful scent which gives a really dreamy touch to overall composition of this fragrance.

My favourite from Lerbolario. Bought it because I needed something to get me out of winter's gloom since it was uneventful, no snow, it was already February and there's a certain thirst, a wish for sun and warmth. Naked, leafless trees are an eyesore and you just need that green. Now, it is definitely spring evoking perfume, but it has a certain darkness to it. Like a cottage in the meadow surrounded by the woods, but the interior is moody maximalism. Wallpaper and velvet sitting set. Cottage core.You get all of the notes and you don't somehow, there's camomile but not tea like or fresh flower. It's very difficult to dissect notes for me in a perfume, but I try since I think most people find it helpful in choosing. This one in particular is difficult since perfumes envoke feelings and stories more than anything. So this perfume is absolutely a feeling, a set scene for me.

This perfume was made for me! Laying on the grass, with wild flowers popping here and there, the forest nearby, with just the right amount of sunshine... This is what a good perfume is! It gives you good mood, peace of mind... A perfume that smells like nature, what could be better? You can't go wrong with it, anywhere you go. The dry down is very feminine, it reminds me of Grace perfume.

Green and floral. Exactly what I wanted and expected from this. The notes I can definitely pick out are the greens/grass and an inkling of chamomile off the top. Bulk of the wear is the wildflowers with a little Daisy, and I can sense a muddling of the base notes after a couple hours. I would categorize this as a "dry" scent. Nothing in here brings in any juiciness or makes it heavy/heady in any way. Layered on top of my vanilla body serum, this adds an airy and natural green floral scent. Intoxicating mixed with the vanilla for sure and adding that little bit of vanilla sweetness really boosts this one for me! Has been one of my go-to scents for hiking since it's very natural and I trend toward the green genre whenever I'm going out in the woods! lol

If you live in a concrete jungle, and can't get away this weekend to the countryside, try Regina dei Prati EDT. Their shower gel is also divine. I'd suggest a long shower, skip the body milk, as it has an unpleasant sour note, and spray the EDT with abandon. You will feel restored and energized within the 3 or 4 hours this fragrance lasts. In my opinion, not every fragrance has to seduce, or make a statement. There is a time and a place for everything, and this fragrance, certainly has earned it ́s place on my therapeutic shelf.
