22 Settembre 2007 ore 8 Vaporetto per il Lido Venezia

Ok, so I got this blind in a swap. It is a rare fragrance, in a sense that I have never smelled anything like it before. It is beautiful and nondescript, in its own way, if you could picture the smell of a painting, this would be the smell of Turner's paintings: swished, whispered, foggy, memorable and unique. This is not a perfume for somebody who wants to make a statement, but for somebody who wants to leave an impression. It's delicate and unique, a rare combination of aquatic and powdery notes, with some phantom flowers too. I have to say that in the first minute I thought I was anosmic to it, all I could smell was a slight blast of alcohol. However very soon I started perceiving its real smell. It does last incredibly long, I could smell most pleasant delicate waves coming off my arm even the next morning. I have to say, I love it! The package is beautiful, and so is the perfume, but this is suitable only for those who can appreciate its delicate nature! A+ in my opinion!

I hunted this perfume for years, and accidentally stumbled upon it on ebay. Ordered it without a second thought, and it was not cheap. How disappointed was I! It was a clone of Womanity, minus the sweet fig accord. I cannot stand Womanity, and because of it I cannot stand Aqua Motu (which also smells like Venezia Olfactory Landscapes). It was aquatic, sandy and foggy, with a rotten egg smell I couldn't stop smelling. Having been on the Vaporetto to Venice, this perfume reminded me nothing of that experience. Nice bottle and packaging nonetheless.

I found testers from this line on a market here in Italy (they sell them for a small price!). They all smell great. Freddinos, if you are interested, send me a message!

This fragrance is very light, I smell herbs, sands and sea water in it. It is light but very long lasting.
