Humanitas

Opens with a fabulous blast of peach, soft passion fruit and musk. The florals lean masculine and provide a stylish, opulent feel. The woods feel slighty creamy and the patchouli and amber merge to become sweet and resinous. In the dry down the icing pink accord grows and adds a unique and perfectly balanced musky scent. Great for warm days, but equally comforting and uplifting on a cold winters day. A fantastic creation and a big win for Memoize.

Guy below obviously has a fake sample. This is a direct copy of Erba Pura, but more floral and less vanilla. 90% similar. Cannot be mistaken for Aventus, under any circumstances, NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

What can I say? Fantastic summer scent full of juicy fruits, beautiful and uplifting flowers, and just enough sweetness. The sillage of this perfume is impressive and lasts so long.

I admit I was reluctant to try this on skin. The paper strip projected ambroxide compound so intensely that the entire room just smelled like a vaguely fruity men's power house perfume. I kept rereading the notes thinking - "no way!" Well today I decided to give it a try on skin knowing that I will be showering in a few hours anyway (so I won't be able to give longevity on this first try). Once it hits the skin I get at first a grape soda - rich sweet white floral bubblegummy - that is for a few seconds then it immediately goes into this sweet tart/smarties phase powdery and citrus candy. Then it reverted back to that original first few seconds - reminding me a tiny bit of L'Interdit - for those who are in the states I am talking about that grape soda accord. Putting my nose right up to it I get a bit of the peach/passionfruit accord it smells fruity but teeters on the over ripe aspect. For a split second I also smelled the pink icing accord - sweet but without vanilla. That note alone peaks my curiosity. I have to wait to see if my skin stops amping this iso super e... Edit: I am several hours in now and I only get the super masculine iso super e and musk. I will put my decant away into a dark corner and try again to see if it mellows...

This is one of those perfumes that makes me doubt... I like it? Yes I love it I would use? No problem But... Would I buy it? Well, most likely not. And it is that Humanistas joins the bandwagon of perfumes inspired by ERBA pura without contributing anything new. It is true that it is a little cheaper, but in the same price range we have options like KIRKE by Tiziana Terenzi that are much more concentrated, long-lasting, and even. interesting; since Humanitas lacks that grace that kirke has, for example, with its salty and musky touch that gives it a very airy and slightly animalistic touch. In Humanitas we find fruits, sugar and more fruits. Above all a 🍑, very rich, very natural, delicious, but which is maintained throughout the entire development and ends up saturating a bit. If you don't have pure ERBA or Kirke (or Borealia for men, or Artemisia, or Khoul, or many others...) and you're looking for something lighter, sweeter, and easier to get along with. This could be an option, but if you already have something like this, honestly, I would avoid trying it because even the €20 I spent on the decant is hurting me hahaha.
