3# nota di viaggio (ciavuru d’amuri)

Peach! Juicy peach!--in the first few seconds. Then it starts to get more aquatic, a hint of green also comes into play--now it's more like fig.

NOTE: This review is for the newer 2019 version of this scent, which now has its own page. Official Notes on the tester bottle are more complex than stated above, and as follows: "Fig LEAVES, Bergamot, Artemesia, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Franckincense, Cedarwood, Benzoin, Powder, and Sandalwood". The ingredients very well describe this scent. I did a "blind" test, and the notes I came up with were powder, carrot tops, smoke, and dry grass, with the emphasis on herbal powder. This is a beautifully blended fragrance that is quite artistic, yet easy to wear. It opens with a bright flash of green Citrus and Fig Leaves in a cloud of Aldehydes. In general, Fig Leaves are herbal and antiseptic, but here they are kept in line by the Powdery and Floral notes which emerge after a few moments. The Jasmine in particular combines with the Fig Leave to lend a sweetness reminiscent of the Fig Fruit itself, but without the cloying jam of most "fig" scents. The unexpected Powder note, usually reserved for more classically composed scents, works well to create a languid, blurred effect of the other ingredients. A novel use, but one that feels natural. After reading the notes, I can actually tease out the sweet sharp of the cedar (seamlessly blended with the florals) and the creamy sandalwood. Good sandal is hard to find in a fragrance these days, due to scarcity and cost. You will find it here, in concert with Frankincense and Benzoin to create a cozy, warm effect. Meo Fusciuni's NOTA DI VIAGGIO series of eau de parfums are less potent than his parfums, which doesn't mean to imply that they are in any way your average edp. The quality and concentration of ingredients give his edps longevity of 8+ hours, even when they possess levity of character. This is a unisex scent for year round wear, although as with any concentrated fragrance, go lightly in high heat and humidity. *Disclaimer: I am an official stockist for this line.

Figs, figs, and more figs, then incense. I kind of detect almost every note mentioned above, but there is something jammy, something preserve! and it conquers it all. The figs are kind of dark and juicy. From this fragrance I just realized that i don't like figs! i don't mean that this fragrance is bad, actually it's all the way around, this fragrance is quite captivating for the ones who loves figs as it is shown here quite juicy and mature. I already love gourmand fragrance and don't mind sweet like essences (not cloying) but the sweetness that comes from figs just irritates me like this fragrance for instance! as a matter of facts it first impresses me like all other figs fragrances, but later it just disturbed me! This fragrance will be impressive for figs lovers. It's silage, and longevity are almost skin close which makes it quite personal and superbly perfect. furthermore, some fragrance requires to be soft, and tender (sometimes people call it weak) but not this fragrance cause if this fragrance was very long lasting with a powerful silage it would have been suffocating to the wearer, but on this level, it is just perfectly done.
