Zephyro

This is indeed intriguing. You have to appreciate what niche is to fully understand what you get in this bottle. From the marble top to the presentation, Italian luxury.

There's something enchanting in this perfume. For both me and my husband, the reaction was 'Oooooh, sexy!'. But it's a white-light, sun-speckled sexiness. Kind of like the light side to Tom Ford's dark one :D . The nose behind this also made one of my unexpected favourites - Tre by Roccobarocco. Wonderful to see the connection on the other pole of the price spectrum.

The only nice thing I have to say about this is for something suitable for men, at least it isn't barbershop. On the opening I get lemon pledge cleaner, and what I think is supposed to be bitter orange blossom but is very cheap and synthetic smelling if so. There's a green note in the background but again, it's more synthetic and chemical than pleasant. A couple of minutes later I get aniseed (?) and don't know why because it isn't listed anywhere, followed by waxy white flowers in the worst way possible, and pine tree car freshener. The dry down is...unpleasant...and I have no idea what's going on. Silage is intimate, thank goodness, because this juice is hard to scrub off. Unisex, and may suit someone out there but not me for sure. And if my partner was wearing this, they wouldn't be getting any close cuddle time. Overall, if you want to smell like a cleaning product storage room, this is for you. But definitely a hard pass for me.

think Bandit, Straight to Heaven as the like. Huge sweet heady white flower. Tuberose/gardenia creamy, milky, sweeeeeet

This one is so delicate, like a milky creamy vanillic gardenia mingled with tuberose. It's not a new creation as i have smelled similar to this one but this shows quite quality in a bottle. Quite interesting.
