Gin Fusion

I love the Lorenzo Pazzaglia line, and this is yet another unique fresh fragrance. I don't even like gin as a drink at all, but that’s beside the point. The scent itself, which lives up to the perfume's name, is incredibly catchy and playful. The opening is quite sharp, but the dry down is very subtle and appealing. It conjures up images of the first day of a holiday: sitting on a hotel terrace in Italy by a luxury pool, watching your hot girlfriend jump into the water, a drink in your hand, knowing you’ve earned this and not having a single worry about tomorrow, its giving chill vibes rather than drunk summer partying in ibiza or something. I wouldn't call it a safe blind buy, test before considering a full bottle. Only wearable on hot summer days id say. I give it a solid 8/10.

One of the things I love most about summer is the feelings it evokes on certain occasions, and one of my favorites is definitely being outdoors in the evening, in a garden, as the warmth gradually fades, allowing you to fully enjoy this season. Ginfusion is the cocktail I would pair with the evening, sitting back and relaxing after a long day: the fresh, fizzy citrus, the gin, and a hint of green tea create an incredibly soothing sensation. It has an initial citrusy, zesty fragrance with a slight menthol note that gradually softens while remaining fresh and pleasant. It’s one of those scents you can wear at any time, but I find it truly unusual and original even in winter. I really enjoyed it. “Summer Evening” painted by Edward Hopper.

on a trip to split, croatia currently, and had the pleasure of smelling this in a boutique in split’s old town. this is my personal favorite fresh fragrance I’ve ever put my nose to if I’m honest, just an absolutely beautiful smell and something I’ve reached to the shelf to smell a few times a day since i bought it. Smells like a sweet citrus cocktail on a warm summers day. has a chilling quality that will make this wearable year round imo. very good performer for what it is but maybe not quite as good as what the page indicates. A must smell on a summer as hot as this one.

This is probably one of the best gin tonic colones ive smelt so far, my only issue is the longevity on skin isn't the best. You can fix that by spraying on clothes instead.

Pre-order, blind buy from a huge Lorenzo Pazzaglia fan. Now, here's the funny part: I'm not really a fan of fresh fragrances and I don't even like gin. So, on paper, Gin Fusion should have been a terrible idea. The only reason I bought it without hesitation is because Lorenzo has earned my trust over and over again. The first spray instantly takes me somewhere familiar: a Mediterranean beach lined with pine trees, the air carrying a mix of sea breeze and citrus. Not the smell of a perfume trying to be "fresh", but the smell of an actual place. The citrus is what won me over. Bright, juicy, sparkling and incredibly natural. Every time I wear it, Serge Gainsbourg's "Lemon Incest" starts playing somewhere in the back of my mind. There is something about that vibrant lemon zest accord that feels joyful, a little mischievous and completely addictive. The gin and juniper are clearly there, but they don't dominate. Instead, they give structure to the citrus and make it feel elegant rather than simple. As it settles, the aromatic nuances emerge softly, keeping everything interesting without losing that effortless Mediterranean feeling. What I love most is that Gin Fusion feels alive. It smells like sunshine on your skin after a swim, fingers still scented from peeling a lemon, a drink on the table, pine trees in the background and nowhere you need to be. 9/10.
