Almond

Must have for the almond lovers. It surrounds you with a lovely fluffy cloud. And it’s not an annoying powdery, I wore this perfume during summer also

Soft, cozy, heavenly AND it lasts!I love almond. No I mean I LOVE ALMOND. Just as we chase for the perfect perfume with the perfect note arrangement, so I have been on the hunt for a comfort almond/floral/powder scent. Something along the lines of Mazzolari's Alessandro (gorgeous but sillage and longevity were so abysmal on me I wanted to cry), Les Nereides Douceur de Vanille (like the softest, most comfortable tee you sleep in), Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige (as innocent as a babe but rich and exotic at the same time). For me Ortigia Mandorlo/Almond encompasses all that and at a very decent price tag too.So- the softest floral powder mixed with a gourmand almond that is tastefully sweet and beautifully crafted. If that isn't enough of a good recommendation, add on a good sillage and fantastic longevity, this lasted on me over 24 hours and possibly longer but I do wash my clothes :)

This is the first almond fragrance I have tried in which I actually smell the dryness of the tree, as amplified by the powderiness of the composition. As a result this isn't sweet in the least, it's intense sawdust with a sharp, lacquer-like almond tone, I smell it and I instinctively start rubbing my fingertips, it's that chalky. Very different, very enjoyable.

IMO, This is a mix between Heiotrope Etro and Villoresi Teint de neige! So it's a powdery rather than a gourmand almond. It's a cologne, but quite intense on my skin. Well done :)

Marzipan crossed with when your powder compact smashes in your purse. (Yes. This smells annoying and gets everywhere! ) Not sure about this one but it’s saving grace is the nutty drydown. Might be good for tweens or the elderly.
