Air de Fio No 1

Thank you so much to Bettany87 for giving me the chance to smell this gem! This is an absolutely refreshing, gentle and inviting fragrance. Just the right amount of vanilla and powder balance; I get a romantic vibe wearing this perfume. I love it so much.

As I've just told in my comment to the new Pupa collection's article, this is my favorite fragrance among the six scenty creations. It's a creamy, tender and close to the skin fragrance: at the very beginning it feels like a citrus-gourmande (the mandarine), but it immediately opens to a combination of light powdery notes as basmati rice, heliotrope and lily. The drydown is silky and smooth, thanks to the ambrette seeds-musk-vanilla accord (which give this scent a very winter-comforting mood, reminding a bit of Sensations by Jil Sander and Flower by Kenzo). Out of the olfactive description, this is a scent which I immediately liked 'cause it brought to me some childhood memories..it's like a doll's scent or something I used to play with when I was a child. The bottle makes this fragrance (and, obviously, all those of the collection) a pretty gift for a girl or a very young woman, but as always it depends on the person...for someone this could look as a "cheap" or unpretentious perfume, but if the recipient is not so classy and snob it could work :D I just love the fabric flower on the top, so subtle and romantic. At the end, a nice choice if you're looking for a tender and everyday scent (more suitable for fall-winter).
