Gli Odori 2008

One of the best citrus/herbal scents I have ever smelled, a real gem to discover. Odori Gli feels very much Italian and you can almost feel the saltiness of the sea while you look at the sun seeing kaleidoscopic colors closing your eyes. This is the perfect Sunday morning scent, fresh but invigorating, full of personality with a positive aura. The lemon is rich, creamy, caustic, sharp with the spicy Mediterranean herbs: rosemary, sage, and basil, making the blend very aromatic; nuclear projection, It feels like an EDP. The perfect gentleman's scent, casual but refined.Great quality ingredients.

Sex! Interesting sex. Sex and food. I looked at the notes and felt intrigued and a little apprehensive. And everything I feared was true. There is no cumin listed but it has a cuminy thing going on that is predominant, and it is sweaty. What is it? Is it the carrot the celery seed? There's not much initial sweetness on me. But the sandalwood becomes a little more noticeable later. But even though it isn't what I shop for I find that I love it. It smells like sex and a savory dinner. What I smell most on me is the cumin-like thing and bay leaf. There is a lovely austerity though that you can't capture by saying cumin and bayleaf. It's like the smell of old grand libraries. I will wear this. And if I find a man that wears this I'll follow him around till he marries me. This is a fascinating and slightly dirty scent that is absolutely delicious.

I put off testing Gli Odori for a long time out of fear for what a perfume with such a name could possibly smell like. "Odors"? Really???? My worries proved to be for naught. The opening is like industrial-strength Eau d'Hadrien. Lots of cypress and tart lemon! After a few minutes, the composition starts to seem more oriental. Some have identified the somewhat exotic scent as that of celery. Or even vegetable soup! Another person calls it "sex". Hmmmm... that may depend on whom you're with. There is a touch of cumin... Well, this line appears to have disappeared, so my journey through the land of Gli Odori is now over. It was fun while it lasted!

I ordered this from strawberry.com,then I kheard of that this Odori line had been discontinued. It's very unique,rosemary and tarragon are dominant through all the way.It semells like burning wood house,like a ruined room filled with fire and smoke,like a tortureed man starting his revenge. This is not for usual ocassion,but especially for some personal mood. BTW,other may loathe the smell~~
