Rialto

For an expensive perfume it smells very cheap. There's too much going on and it's heavy on fruits and flowers, but at the same time it gives you nothing more than "affordable eau de toilette in a superstore in the nineties". The sillage is good, people in the office smelled it more than me. Very disappointing fragrance.

Just a little spray to see what it smells like, one whiff and I’m instantly taken back to huge fragrance departmentstores in Luxemburg in the nineties where I started my fragrance journey. It reminds me of ✨something✨ from back then, maybe even just a mix of certain scents being sprayed at the same time. That is also the weakness of this scent, it does feel like a lot going on at the same time maybe even a bit too much. That being said, it’s not dated, it has modern elements and I also recognise a similar note as in Salle Privee X Skins, the lather being sharper and citrus based. Rialto is very similar but with raspberry and sweeter. I’m intrigued enough to give it a proper try, even if it just to identify the 90’s scent it reminds me of 😆.
