Approdo

This perfume made me fell in love with my friend, who became my bf, who became my husband.:)) I literally adore it, it is absolutely amazing!

This fragrance is unlike anything I've ever smelled. To me, this is a very unique scent. I can describe it in three words. Sweet fruit, leather and spicy floral notes in the background. Both men and women can wear it. The design of the bottle is great. The smell is overpowering in the first half hour. Several of my friends said it was a bit suffocating. I think it's just intense. On my skin intense spicy leathery and fruity with good longevity and good projection. I dare to risk that it is a four-season fragrance, but I haven't tried it in the summer. I must state that this is a bold and unconventional fragrance. I don't consider it a mass appeal, but it has a beauty that niche perfume lovers can appreciate. Currently not available on sales sites. Durability: 5/5 Projection: 5/5 Uniqueness: 4/5 Fragrance: 3.5/5 In summary: 4.3

The correct notes are the next Top: Iris, Maracuja Heart: Blackcurrant, Vanilla, Caramel Base: Cedar, Sandalwood, Musk, Ambergris ...but I feel a leathery astringency on it.

This is one interesting. I mostly detect smoked fruit (smth like wood chip BBQ smoke almost but not exactly), spiced woods and something that registers as suede. I agree with the review below that it def has a leathery note, but it is not in the foreground. Sweet from the fruits and most likely a drop of vanilla. But the latter is choked out by the intense fruity-smoke ordeal that’s going on. It is very potent upon initial spray and remains so even several hours into the wear. Overall longevity and sillage are massive, so use with caution, it can get cloying. I am not in love with it, I am intrigued by it. Don’t think I would ever acquire a 100ml bottle (which is beautifully guilded in gold leaf). Wish it was sold in 10ml travel sprays. Even then it would be enough for a lifetime. This is not a ”safe” scent. Artisanal, a bit challenging. Hard to pinpoint an occasion to wear it other than your own enjoyment while strolling the autumnal city streets at night. There is some darkness there despite it being a “fruity” scent. I see Pris and Roy from Blade Runner wearing this together because there is a darkened dystopian romance in this.
