Little song

What a hidden gem!!! Now this is a coffee fragrance. It's one of the few times I can recall smelling coffee in a scent and not associating it with something edible. It's not trying to smell like breakfast, or a cup of Starbucks. Little Song indeed highlights the beauty of a coffee note in a composition you don't want to taste. It's a perfect fragrance for a night out. It also makes a good day time cold weather scent and like most have voted, it fits the fall season best. It starts off with a blast of bergamot and fresh airy spices like Pink Pepper and Ginger. These are the perfect top notes to transition to the darker, more mysterious phases that follow. Along with coffee, rose and tobacco are co stars and each note used in a rich and elegant way. The rose isn't jammy sweet like Montale's Intense Cafe. It's not a bathroom air-freshner rose like some rose scents can come across as at times. It's deep, earthy and smells like the color red. The tobacco doesn't smell burned and comes across like a rich Cuban cigar. The performance on little song was excellent. It can stay on skin for 8 plus hours and on cloth for days. Over spraying may not be the best idea if you want it to make the best impression. It will be a scent that gets noticed whether people let you know or not. It projects but it won't fill the room. I stumbled on Meo Fusciuni in my quest to smell more off beat, less popular fragrance brands and everything the brand makes is very unique and avant garde. They are "extra" in personality and character and and minimalist in presentation. Each creation are all very conceptual. If Dracula had a signature scent, it probably would come from this house. Of all I've smelled from Meo, Narcotico, Spirito, and Little Song were my highlights. Back to Little Song...I find the price point of $280 for a 100ml well worth it for what this is. It's like wearing a Picasso. Women could wear "little song" for sure but it ain't "pretty". There is nothing frilly or girly about this. The woman who wear is this will project 'grown and sexy'. The man who wears this projects confidence and success. Come to think of it, it's more of a dark rose scent than a coffee one. Maybe this is a scent that is made up of a beautiful balance of these two notes (Coffee and Rose) and they end up taking turns being the main star until the tobacco, musk, labdanum and vetiver drydown comes in and winds it down. If I had to rate it with my PAGE Rating...It's an E scent. Excellent!!! My best rating. It's a perfect rose scent for a man or woman and it's the perfect coffee scent for a man. If you are a fan of both those ingredients, I would suggest sampling this scent ASAP. U will smell unique, refined, sexy and unlike any other when "Little Song" is on you skin. It's an example of how awesome niche is when it's more about the composition not the focus group. Well done Meo!!! SIMPLY PUT SCENTS

An artist's studio. A small room, closed air, the light barely penetrating through the heavy curtains. Old and dusty furniture decorates the interior, including an old piano and an antique writing desk. A bag of coffee beans rests next to an old mug with remnants of black coffee, a full ashtray, and a music sheet scattered with a work in progress. A requiem. For whom? For oneself. One's soul. And then the dust. There's so much dust. It can wait. Composing is more primordial than dusting. Creation never sleeps. That's how I imagine Little Song from Meo Fusciuni. A dry, dusty, very aromatic vetiver fragrance that makes use of the most authentic "coffee" accord, one that smells of freshly roasted coffee beans. Not your sweetened coffee, not your latte, not even your black cup of coffee. It is the smell of the beans right from the grinder. A marvelous smell, perfectly captured. The entire perfume unfolds as a rich aromatic experience, from the coffee accord and ginger in the top to the liatris, sage, and tobacco in the heart, and vetiver in the base. My type of vetiver. Dry, earthy, slightly nutty, mildly aromatic, and married to a perfectly dosed note of civet. There is a withered rose somewhere, clinging to life. It lends a "boozy" quality and marries smoothly to the coffee and tobacco accords. A melancholic scent, one for introspection and moments of artistic contemplation and creation. It reminds me of the way orris and vetiver pair in Iris Silver Mist to create that somber-gray effect, but here it's not as cold, but more of a somber-sepia tone due to the use of coffee, slightly drunken rose, and aromatic tobacco. A little song full of meaning and depth. IG:@memory.of.scents

I had been wanting my first Meo Fusciuni for some time, and I was delighted to discover a boutique just 30 minutes from home that carries the entire line (except for #1 nota di viaggio, which was sold out). I took my time trying every fragrance and read the little booklet describing the inspirations behind each scent. I’ve seen several interviews with Meo/Giuseppe, and his personality—enigmatic, introspective and composed—undoubtedly shapes the perfumes. I also have a deep affection for Sicily, so a perfumer inspired by those lands naturally appeals to me. The range is superb: every fragrance deserves more time and closer study. Ultimately it was Little Song that convinced me to buy. It feels delicate and intimate rather than explosive—the opposite of the loud trends you often find today. It sits close to the skin yet remains perceptible, like a gentle, reassuring caress. On my nose the blend registers almost like a hint of liquorice; when I concentrate I discern tobacco and coffee, while the opening notes are, to me, very subtle—more a suggestion than a statement. The overall impression is refined and understated, with complex layers that reveal themselves gradually. And a touch of rose is definitely there although also very subtle. The presentation is excellent as well. The bottle is beautiful without being ostentatious: weighty, substantial and classically proportioned. The heavy cap is well-made and the atomizer performs above average, delivering a fine, even spray. This, to me, is true niche perfumery—thoughtful, well-crafted and quietly luxurious.

Primo vero acquisto di Meo Fusciuni. Ho testato più giorni Notturno, 3°nota di viaggio, Spirito, Luce ma c'erano sempre eei MAH... Little Song viene dalla mia ricerca di un profumo al caffè (mia grande passione) , liquori e tabacco ... direi che Little Song ne esprime al meglio questi 3 aspetti . L'apertura è entusiasmante 9/10, ma dura ben poco, ti fa subito viaggiare, ha quel frizzantino assolutamente non scontato che però ti avvolge senza disturbare ; Poi passa al vero calore di questa fantastico profumo, un dolce smorzato, un liquore caldo (rum nostrano o giapponese), un atmosfera cupa ma allo stesso tempo sveglia, un po' di legno fumoso, di tabacco morbido, direi bianco assolutamente non bruciato, un calore cioccolatoso molto puro 9/10 . Il sillage è quasi inesistente e la durata (almeno sulla mia pelle anche con double layer) è di circa un paio d'ore... un pò pochino dati gli altri suoi capolavori, mi aspettavo un pò di più. In poche parole, un profumo al caffè speziato con una punta di cioccolato che dà calore e ti fa sorridere intimamente (almeno per chi ama liquori caldi, barricati e soprattutto caffè vero). Da serata con gli amici o semplicemente una passeggiata sempre serale. Non lo metterei di giorno . Adatto ad una nicchia consapevole che sa esattamente cosa sta' indossando . Bravo Meo, mi hai stupito con questo Little Song... unica nota negativa, poca persistenza !

This is a masterpiece but you have to wait at least an hour to judge this one. At first spray its pretty bad actually. Like the week old dregs of coffee grounds in a coffee machine thats never been cleaned plus ash tray. Its that way for about an hour and then it magically changes and you smell the very well blended notes described here as you keep smelling yourself through the day. I get espresso with a twist of lemon and an open cigar box nearby. The florals and labdanum etc give its complexity and depth that other coffee perfumes dont have. It tells a story that seems to go back in time: you start with the coffee ground dregs from a never cleaned coffee machine and ashtray and dead flowers and an animalic hint where its all decrepit decaying remnants but after that hour it seems to time travel backwards where you have your fresh espresso, a cigar, and fresh flowers etc. Its a great effect going from dehydrated decayed scent but once it mixes with your body heat and chemistry which is like the water you add to sea monkeys or a chia pet, it comes alive and blooms into what its imagined to really be at its peak existence. And then it fades again in the dry down as a beautiful memory. Lasts long but doesnt project much which is ok as with other Meo perfumes I think they're meant to be meditative/setting a mood for yourself and not meant for a crowd. Cold weather perfume
