Santa Subita

This is a great perfume! I love the woody patchouly which turns into an interesting musky smell. Perfect for winter.

It's a powerfull incence perfume. Reminds me of walking in a church ^^. I really like it... I have the same scent as a candle at home... lovely !

I tested Santa Subito in october on my left hand. I try as best I might to describe my impressions: the head note is like you are come to a dentist . Very metallic and extremly. Then there is a intensive heart of olibanum. This heartnote is very heavy for me in autumn. Maybe in cold winter days it could be better. The base after a 6 hours and more: it is for me a feeling if you go in a crypt. If the heart is still between church and meditation feeling this base makes me fear. I am sure because the scent has the same intention and direction like L ́orpheline of Serge Lutens. But L ́orpheline is more soft, it remind me of wondeful xmas-nights and the walk to xmas-church through the snow. Santa Subito it is perfect for a Halloween night. It reminds me to death. Santo Subito does in mean: suddenly sacred of what? But there is no holiness inside this scent. Maybe it is my skin and skin chemistry which makes it so spooky and offensive or the atmosphere of autumn and Halloween in some day at friday. And around these atmosphere we have some days like All Souls, All Saints and a day in november, we call it "Totensonntag". In the air around me lies a mix of rain and fallen yellow leaves. Maybe all these factors influences the scent development in my skin. Santa Subito has a medium sillage and a long longevity. In the evening yesterday I hoped it would disappear suddenly but it stayes the whole day and night with me, even if I put it only on my left arm/ pulse.

@ rougetnoir (below) First of all when it comes to someone's else's choice of perfume name there is no such thing as "wrong". They have free choice to name it ANYTHING they want, it's THEIR choice. (Even if completely non-sensical. ~ Which is actually not the case, as you accuse it.) And besides the word "subita", in Italian, is actually the feminine form of the verb "subito". So it does in fact fit perfectly with the gender change of "santo" to "santa". (It's obvious as well that he is extending the original meaning to his own purposes). Lastly, I seriously think you should start by checking your own grammar, double negatives & spelling, before you accuse others of the same. (vis: "sarcastic" + "depends" ... & it's : "doesn't mean anything" NOT "doesn't mean nothing" ! - Which ironically actually doesn't mean anything !) ... As for the perfume it is a wonderfully rich warm woody delight. With some patchouli/oakmoss and, though not mentioned, I'm pretty sure there is also some sweet opoponax with that benzion. Ending on a lovely musk. It's wonderfully comforting and with excellent longevity ! Definitely worth a sample if "orientals" appeal to you.

a Very Timid Oriental... The opening of this fragrance is not very pleasant...In fact, it starts out quite rough! The citrus seems to be a sour, and bitter combo. Then the cedar appears, and it still is unpleasant to my nose, but I decide to persevere, and continue wearing it to get the whole picture! I usually adore these type of fragrances..Oriental, woody and spicy..but, of course,each fragrance has it's own style, or personality. This particular fragrances has a sort of thinness to it, it is hard to explain, but let's take Coromandel for instance. Coromandel is a rich, creamy fragrance, as opposed to the thinness this one has. I feel Santa Subita is trying to portray a Coromandel type vibe, but even though eventually, the dry down is rather nice, it lacks something...something to give it that missing richness. It lasts quite well, and as I stated, the dry down is very nice. I have worn this several times, to give it a fair chance, but it still remains a fragrance with a weak personality...to my nose anyway).

Unfortunately, but it's true, this company has the worst customer service I've ever come across. Even worse, she has no customer service whatsoever. I ordered a few perfumes in mid-October 2022, the package after asking where it was arrived in November, and it still contained one bottle of perfume without the four travels ordered. They were supposed to come in the next package, and it's January 2023, the package is gone, and the company has stopped responding to emails and messenger. No response, no information, they ignore me. Also, I do not recommend any purchases from this company if you do not want to be treated like air. Now i found video posted on YouTube 4 years ago by Ami Loves Perfumes! about exactly the same situation with them, i couldn't add the link, so check the video by search: "Technique Indiscrete Perfumes - DO NOT BUY!" and in comments there is more people with the same experience with this brand. Be aware

Well that's true. We can not discuss a name. We believe before to choice a name he had a dictionary or some italian friend in paris. Officially "subito" has got two meaning. Sùbito it is adverb of time and means Straightaway Right now ( according to catholics Wojtyla had to became immediatly saint "Saint Straightaway!") and it can not be feminine. But the past participle of the verb Subire (suffer, undergo) is Subìto (suffered) and it can have the feminine. So Santa Subìta became Saint Imposed a female saint that perhaps we have to tolerate. Maybe mr Loiuson just liked the sound of santa subita or he made a mistake but the name could have sense. I've no idea of how this fragrance smell, but I've been reading the composition of all the line and I find it wonderfully eccentric, unlike, I hope to test it soon.

A brand with a very bad reputation. I have ordered most of Louisons perfumes in the past, but as mentioned before they never arrived on time. Apart from the delivery/shipping problems the labels on all his perfumes seem to be of an inferior quality and this is not what one expects from a luxe niche brand. Most of the perfumes are quite mediocre formulations in my opinion. Apparently mr. Grajcar David aka Libertin Louison never paid his tuition fee for his formation at Cinquième sense according to what miss Isabelle Ferrand has told me.

I bought a bottle yesterday from the hands of Libertin Louison, in Florence at an international exhibition of fragrances. I must say that I really love this fragrance. At the opening is strong with a hint of leather (Libertin Louison said it himself). In the drydown is more discreet but maintains a hint of wild. The name is really wrong, I'm Italian and I know it! if the saint is male, you say "santo subito", if it is female, it says "santa subito" I do not know if it was wrong or a nonsense name but the scent is delicious.

the name doesn't mean nothing. it is wrong. It should have been "Santa Subito", not Santa Subita. when Pope Giovanni Paolo II died, that was the motto "Santo subito", all over the city of Rome, because the people wanted him to become Saint immediately. the meaning is also ironic, even sarchastic I would say, and it us used for a women or a men (Santa or Santo dipends on the gender) that always complains of everything. the perfume seems to be interesting, but Technique Indiscrete should change his name.

I spent the night with Santa Subita and am now very certain I want a full bottle. It reminds me of being in the library of a grand, old house hundreds of years old. It has been a warm day so you smell the old books, the wooden panneling, the leather chesterfield chairs. You open the window just as a rainstorm is coming down mingling the smell of rain with the dust on the paving of the courtyard outside. That best describes it for me.

I have this perfume ! I love this in fan of this brand!
