Frangipane delle Maldive

This is a simple, monothematic and definitely not expensive fragrance (in Italy a 100ml bottle costs 9,90€!), but despite this humble presentation I think Frangipane has some good qualities that should not be underrated. Frangipane has the merit of having a certain evolution on the skin: at the beginning it has a fresh, mildly green, crisp accord; after few minutes it becomes sweeter, with a hint of saltiness that reminds to me the odor of sand and minerals, and that give it a beachy character. The notes listed above aren't able to communicate what kind of fragrance Frangipane actually is, but I definitely appreciate it. Frangipane delle Maldive and Monoi della Polinesia (another perfume of the same line of this brand) are well done compositions, not overwhelming and not very long lasting (2-3 hours): the ideal fragrances to be layered to other perfumes, to give them a touch of exoticism. Perfumes of good taste at a very low price: considering that there are mainstream and niche brands which sell ordinary synthetic juices for an embarrassing price, well...I appreciate Frangipane delle Maldive and Monoi della Polinesia, and I'm happy to have discovered them!

Weird, but in the beginning this smells like a cheap version of ange ou demon. Later on it turns somewhat warmer and fruitier (more frangipani-ish). For it's pricetag (which is low) it's probably not bad, but I prefer quality over quantity.

I had this fragrance once [Recieved as a gift]. Although it's an Italian label, this is a very cheap line. The longivity is nil. When you spray it over the clothes it's quiet strong but when time passes, although the sillage is low,it smells quiet powdery, that's the only thing I like about this.
