Palio

Oh yes, we got Palio today! Delightful! There definitely is some retro vibe going on with this. The opening is very classic; cologne like with citrus, some fruit and perhaps some green herbs (have to take this again to really catch it all). But then it starts to reveal its true nature! The fruit and the greenness gradually vanish. Lavendar, soapy and medicinal aromas are strong on the sillage - but the skin scent is surprisingly different with soft musky aroma accompanied with some sweetness and gentle woods. Very pleasant, relatively strong but not intimidating. And yes, very masculine, but not in the most obvious way! I'll bet that this mixes beautifully with the scent of leather and gasoline - and does not attack against your senses in the dinner table.

I have this rare niche parfum. It's extremally hard to find in Brazil, too much expensive! Well... this one begin very refresh, citric and classy. Very usual, however. A aromatic coquetel of tropical fruits... But, it got a few tricks up its sleeves... Wait, and the magic dry-down comes. Lavender and some floral notes here... but powdery and soapy rules! Very very vintage and addictive. Could be the male version of vintage Je reviens-Worth. There's a cumplicity in both... Pure nostalgia...!

"Classic. it is a perfume that fits various circunstances always outstanding elegance.kept in a beautiful bottle of pure line, the eau de parfum is translucent without any colouring. The spray corked device is refilable. A signature perfume that gooes with any climate change or any activity. If fits a business meeting a family celebration, a quiet walk in twilight." Perfume Bighouse site.

I like Palio too. It's unusual, and vintage, very strong, floral, woody and balmy, a little bit sweet, but not too much, balmy sweet, and vintage floral ;o) For men, not for boys, Baldessarini's moto is about this fragrance ;o).
