Pelle di Fauno

Opens with fresh metallic aldehydes, very uplifting and citrusy. Evolves to a unwashed hair musky vibe where costus is noticeable, very human like and intimate, not as challenging as I thought it would be, wearable and enjoyable but unfortunately I go nose blind to it because of the heavy musks used, seems to sit close to the skin but overall a very nice and unique human musk scent.

Smelled like fresh forest with animalic resine. So like the notes a wet green forest with animals

Manuel Atardi – Pelle di Fauno Aquatic, sexual, and outrageously original. A fragrance built around heavy musk, bright citruses, and the scent of salty skin — slightly sweaty, animalic, almost like a body fresh out of the sea. I expected something far more challenging, but it surprised me with how poetic it feels. There’s a clean metallic edge running through all the sensuality, creating a strange and addictive contrast. The musk carries a slightly urinous nuance at times — elegant, intimate, almost like living skin — which makes the fragrance feel even more lustful and provocative. It smells like sex for pleasure, freedom, and warm skin under the sun. Despite all its animalic facets, it remains light, wearable, and subtly refined. Perfect for any season. Clean and dirty at the same time. Marine, human, sensual, and artistic. Originality: 1000/10 Rating: 8/10

This fragrance may sound unusual and even a little intimidating on paper, but on skin it’s surprisingly beautiful. It opens with a sharp metallic sparkle brightened by citrus, before evolving into a musky, animalic scent that feels raw, human, and wildly sensual. It’s green, fresh, dusty, and earthy—radiating a primal energy, like a nymph caught in an orgy deep within the woods. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those who love bold and animalic compositions, it’s a fascinating experience and very unique also super long lasting!!
