Notte Bianca

Got an official sample of this, wearing it for some time now. This is a very pleasant scent. Upon applying I get a very nice accord of orange, woods and anise. These notes go very well together. After some time the orange subsides, the anise is more prominent now and it settles into a somewhat licorice-like woody scent. I can see this being a Mark Buxton fragrance, his Comme des Garçons 2 is actually one of my favourite fragrances. I'm not familiar with the fragrances that people say are similar to Notte Bianca, so I can't really compare. It's hard to say anything substantial about the performance, as it's such a tiny sample sprayer. You'll get a much better wear from an actual bottle, I'm sure. That said, I applied quite a few (tiny) sprays, but felt like the fragrance was fleeting. I think I reapplied after 1,5 - 2 hours and it's already very faint again one, two hours later. Not sure how much it projects, seems to be soft, but again: those sample sprayers are pretty worthless, especially this one. Definitely woody, but not outspokenly masculine. Very unisex. I would recommend sampling this, it's interesting. Update: Many hours later, I can still vaguely smell this around me from time to time. Got some on my clothes, so that could be it. But I can still smell the deep drydown on my skin (only when pressing my nose to my skin), it's sweet and creamy. So yeah, longevity seems better than it first appeared, but to be sure you need to do a proper wear from a proper bottle atomizer.

One of the memorable scents from Linari, Notte Bianca. From the very first spray, I thought this could have been easily an Escentric Molecules fragrance! I am surprised by reviews below because I do not get most of the mentioned notes. Instead I get a mixture of Iso-E super and ambroxan. Blindfolded, I would bet money that this is an EM fragrance. I like it a lot though. But as mentioned, it is very weak, and can be used as skin scent. If by any chance there are synthetics like iso-e super in this, then maybe it’s some of us who cant smell much whereas others notice stronger. 150 euros for this ? Thanks, but no thanks.

Oh, beautiful joy! Grapefruit is purported to therapeutically deliver a promise of joy, and here it is prominent in the opening; clarifying and stimulating along with orange, bergamot and a fresh amber glaze. Anise, clove and tonka are sweet, spiced and mouthwatering. Combined with the woods, herbs and musk the heart becomes smooth and strong. Refreshing yet warm, Bianca Notte is magnetizing with a familiar men's Armani Code thing going on, only more piquant with an occasional prickle of green and not as cloying. Unisex to masculine, this Linari is effortlessly alluring.

The opening is so refreshing and wonderful, very vetiver strong, but it died quickly and in came the anise of which I don't like that much. It brings some depth into this fragrance though and almost reminds me of some kind of liquorise. This is an amazing scent and I definitely would wear it if it weren't so pricey.

4,09 is current rating on Notte Bianca. In my opinion very underrated. Its in the same category as Bal d’Afrique, but this NB is better. Its an unique, crowdpleasing gem. Really surprised by this as I did not think it look that good according to the notes. This was a 9/10 for me.

Notte Bianca is the only stand-out fragrance from the entire Linari range. It smells like liquorice/fennel/aniseed but really sexy and fresh. Very unique. I like it.

Wonderfull scent ... but NO LONGEVITY ... max 15 min !!!!! So, very "EXPENSIVE" !!! :0(

It is hard to really call it a fragrance. After two sprays I can only smell alcohol, it evaporates quickly and you’re left with nothing. Maybe a glimpse of wood after it dries down but its difficult to really smell it as it becomes a weak skin scent which no one will ever notice. A waste of money in my oppinion.

A disappointing case of style over substance. This smells like a paper thin version of Esencia by Loewe. While Esencia lasts and projects beyond 8 hours, Notte Bianca fades into nothing after 2 hours. Nice looking bottle though...

Okay, this is one of those olfactory experiences that in hindsight makes sense, not that it didn't at the time but seeing who the perfumer is, comparisons it makes complete sense now. So when reaching for my first sniff of Linari I found the other bottles, intimidating and illegible with all those patterns on and such so I arrived at Notte Bianca because it was the only one I could read clearly, without squinting my eyes and screwing my face up. This was on a recent trip to Amsterdam and smelling this among other things, I did think would be hugely memorable but has remained in my olfactory data banks. I liked the bright, modern citrus and spices in the opening and the bare, starkness of it's aroma chemical heart, giving that cashmere and vetiver feeling. Now that I know it's a Mark Buxton composition I'm like..."Of course it is!" and as much as I like stuff like Bal d'Afrique, I'm just not blown away by them and having only flippantly tried this on my wrist once I couldn't commit to it. Also oddly enough on the same Amsterdam trip I actually bagged Vetiver Tonka from the Hermesence line, which has the most 'this perfume reminds me of votes' on here. Spooky. Perhaps I had meant to get this and didn't? I found the opening of Notte Bianca to have more sparkle a touch less heft of fougere warmth, but sure they share the same woody, cashmere heart.

چه چیز از این بدتر که یه عطر با رایحه ی خوبش شما رو به سمت خودش میکشونه اما خیلی زود شما رو ترک میکنه و با کلی حسرت و سئوال تنهاتون میذاره. حسرت از این بابت که چی میشد این رایحه ی شفاف و درخشان بیشتر ادامه پیدا میکرد و سئوالاتی پر از تردید، از اینکه نکنه بویایی من دچار مشکل شده یا اینکه نکنه عطر شامه ی منو پر کرده و دیگران احساسش میکنن. اما وقتیکه در این تجربه ی پر از سئوال به سراغ اطرافیان میرم و از عطرم می پرسم؛ پاسخ منفی اونا این تردید که بویاییم دچار مشکل شده رو برطرف میکنه. نوته بیانکا عطریه که سیتروسی و چوبی باز میشه و تم چوبی سینتیک اون، یه قوام دهنده به شیطنت مرکباته. به مرور چوبها میپوسن و عطر با حفظ تازگی خودش؛ پس زمینه ای خاکی به خودش میگیره تا وتیور گیاهی-چوبی و کمی خشک؛ در این فضای تازه، آبدار و خنک، حضور پیدا کنه. تمام آنچه که عرض شد؛ در بازه ای یک ساعته و شاید کمتر رخ میده و نوته بیانکا یه عطر چوبی، اسپایسیِ شاداب و تازست که در حاشیه های خاکی کم رنگی به خودش می گیره. یه عطر چوبی خنک که می تونست به انتخابی خوب برای تابستان تبدیل بشه؛ اما وقتی تردیدم در مورد پر نشدن شامم از این عطر به یقین تبدیل شده؛ من موندم و حسرتی که کاش؛ فقط ای کاش! نوته بیانکا عطر یونیک و شاهکاری بی همتا نیست؛ اما کار خنک و آرامش بخشیه که برخلاف رایحه خوبش، در بحث پخش و ماندگاری بسیار ضعیف عمل میکنه. کامنت: م.ع (سایت لوکس بایر (با امکان تست سمپل

Having tried a few of them now, I think the Linari scents are complex and slow-burners. And that's a good thing! With so many linear perfumes on the market nowadays, it's always a pleasant surprise to find a real shape-shifter that manages to delight from start to finish. Notte Bianca went on very fruity and sweet for me, and did not make a notable first impression. Nice, but rather ho-hum. I went about my business and sniffed my arm about an hour later. Wow! It was now a completely different scent that smelled nothing like the fruity top notes. It was now a complex mix of greens and spices (oh! the clove!) It's still slightly sweet at this point but lasts a long time, eventually drying down to a dry woods aroma. Definitely unisex, incredibly complex, great sillage and longevity, and all of that being said, it's still not my favorite of the line, but it's pretty darn amazing!

I find Linari NOTTE BIANCA to be quite a woody fragrance and more masculine than unisex. It reminds me of lots of cedar-heavy and cedarish colognes. Could it be iso-E-super? Whatever is responsible for the dominant cedary quality, it is much more pronounced than any of the other purported components. By the end, NOTTE BIANCA stays quite close to the skin and falls below the threshold of detection after a couple of hours. I am assuming that "white night" in Italian means what it means in French: "blanche nuit" = all nighter. This fragrance will not keep you up all night, I feel compelled to observe.

Part Hisotire De Parfums 1725, part Cacharel Pour Homme, part the woody/ambery drydown experienced in way too many fragrances of the past 20 years. All the parts are mixed together and brutally toned down to give birth to a weak and short-lived woody composition of little interest. Notte Bianca is not bad per se, smells actually pretty fine but if you consider it's from Mark Buxton and sells for 200 bucks it becomes unacceptable. Rating: 6/10

Tried a sample. Starts green with gentle sap, then turns into dry licorice roots (vetiver + spices, I guess), powdery and almost grainy in texture. Smooths out into a mellow skinscent that makes me think of peat fires, chopped woods and human warmth. More the idea of it. Also something that's sweet but not too sweet, dry and dusty. There's a tender melancholia that reminds me of orris roots too. Light, sober, beautifully executed.

Notte bianca means White Night and this is what it is. A scent to wear for long nights, walking in the heart of the city by night, where all can happen. The vetiver make it definitly more suitable for men. The anis is strong and mature. It does feel like 20 years old fragrance smell for an occidental but I think that in countries of the middle east, with a more dry climate, this can be a top seller.
