Moxi

As there's not much info on fragrantica, here's the writing from the Official Mirko Buffini website. ===================================== PECCADILLA AND BERGAMOT COURTESAN, WAS THE MUSKY FAVORITE OF THE CRUEL IMPERATOR ZHOU, 1750 B.C. SANDALWOOD FRAGRANCE INTERPRETER OF THE ESSENCE OF TONIC KAMASUTRA. JUNIKIRO TANIZAKI USED TO SENSE THE SCENT, ALONE, STANDING, IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR. A ROSY AROMA, MAGNETIC, COMPELLING. FAMOUS JAPANESE COURTESAN LOVER OF THE IMPERATOR ZHOU. ABOUT HER, SADLY, WE DO NOT KNOW THE SECRET ARTS OF THE THALAMUS, WE ONLY KNOW THAT THE ARCANE PECULIAR OF HER LOVE PERFORMANCES WERE QUOTED BY FAMOUS WRITERS SUCH AS BANANA YOSHIMOTO, JUNIKIRO TANIZAKI, JASUNARI KAWABATA, YUKIO MISHIMA, HARUKI MURAKAMI. WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE, WITH RESIGNED RESIGNATION, WHICH WERE THE SEDUCTIVE VIRTUES OF A GEISHA CAPABLE TO CONFUSE THE IMPERATOR, UNKNOWN DETAILS CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMING MO XI IN A MILLENARY FIGURE OF PLEASURE. ONE QUESTION, AT THIS TIME, ARISES! WHICH PERFUME COULD IT BE! MO XI, WITHOUT DOUBT! AN OLFACTORY VOLUPTUOUS COMPOSITION, A FLIRTY FRAGRANCE, SUGGESTED BY THE MIRKO BUFFINI FIRENZE BRAND, TO ALLOW ANY WOMAN TO DRESS A TRAIL OF DESIRE. ===================================== and yes you're probably as confused as I am... lol but this is one mysterious, addictive perfume. The top notes (although listed as white wine) is Japanese sake. and its STRONG. but when that fades, the flowers bloom and linger ever so delicately. Every note is pronounced, although the volumes of each are conducted separately and flawlessly. If you don't like the initial burst of sake, please just wait it out- it should definitely be worth the wait.Subtle, elegant, sexy and really really good. At first I was confused, wasn't quite sure whether I really liked it or not. but it was so quietly ADDICTIVE I kept going back for more and went through half a 100ml really quickly, I just couldn't stop. Lasts a good 6hrs, more on fabric/hair. Unique enough to become anyone's (compelling) signature.

The opening note of saki is rich golden wine like and I absolutely adore it. After sampling so much from Mirko Buffini and purchasing a full bottle of Klito (and probably a back up soon) this is my second favorite in the line and I might even spring for the full bottle here. It would be a worthy signature scent. It is quite unique. I love the bergamot note that this brand uses. It's bright and fuzzy without ever being an overbearing citrus note. I don't get a pronounced rose - but the fragrance does benefit from the richness of rose and plays a supporting role in this warm saki odor. The longevity of this rich white wine floral like musky odor was about 4 hours with the sillage dropping out in about 45 minutes. Like others in this line becomes "your skin but way better" and projects at arms length a sort of musky amber sandalwood combo that is lovely. It's the dry down in this fragrance that makes me want the full bottle. Subtle sexy.
