Aragona

Salesperson actually tried to convince that is not for women. I find it very unisex. Its laconic and warm. Almond note is dominant. Natural smell. Sadly, doesn't last long. Reminds me of fresh Sicilian almond paste cookies.

Bought this in Noto, Sicily in the beautiful Ortigia store. I must have had too many limoncellos because I somewhat regret choosing this perfume over Ambra Near which my son was urging me to get, but have so many amber perfumes in my collection that I wanted something different. Well different it is - very powdery, like talcum powder or your grandma's compact with the face powder, with a strong hint of almond. Not offensive but I think it smells a bit like baby powder deodorant mixed with marzipan. Layered it with Jill Sander Violet it smells more interesting.

Beautiful feminine fragrance * although born as unisex. She's sweet, absolutely 90% powdery, very straightforward, very well built. Smells like coccoina glue ( in a good way ) that we used to buy as kids in the 90's in school. Almond-y to the max, not crunchy , not sweet in terms of "warm gourmand" ...she's just sweet-pungent with a ton of powder. Very loved by feminine women, and very appreciated on men ( especially if layered with some extra wood for depth ). Not recommended as a blind buy cause it's got a specific character, so try it on :) Yes sillage on skin not super long, but on clothes forever. In Milan Kayu shop in piero della Francesca sells it ( among many Ortigia yummy products).

Smells like vintage perfume for babies. Reminded me of powdery baby almond and chamomile bath tonic or toilette de acqua that they used to apply in the baby bath water that was not the same as a bubble bath.
