Giardini di Seta

I love this! Simple yet beautiful for spring and summer. I get a refreshing (crispy) rhubarb, maybe a bit of flowers in the background and a beautiful woody scent comes trough after a while. It gets sweeter after 30 min. So beautiful. I'm a bit surprised that this is not talked about at all. The bottle is so stunning!

This perfume reminds me of my old days. When I smell it I feel nostalgic and I love this perfume and I don't understand why I finally decided to use this perfume every day. I've never been disappointed with Salvatore Ferragamo. I've always loved their perfumes and this edition perfume bottle is so pretty.

This is delicious! The rhubarb here is electric pink in intensity, bright, crisp, sweet, slightly green, and mouthwatering. It is the main note. It flow well with the soft touch of cherry blossom, which is slightly aquatic and fresh but very shy compared to the rhubarb. The drydown reveals more of a damp petal aspect to the cherry blossom that I love. Giardini slowly shows more of the seta accord in the drydown, which reads to me as a silky clean peppery-skin that is present across the four Seta scents I've tried. I don't smell any vetiver per se but Giardini definitely has a greeness to it that the vetiver might be contributing to. Sometimes Giardini reminds me of Miller Harris Lost in the City, but without the blush rose and bitter tea and overall juicier and more vibrant. Longevity is surprisingly good, because I expected it to burn out quickly. Applied at 8am and still had soft throw 11 hours later. I really like Giardini! It has a transparency and lightness to it while also being punchy. It is tied for second place favorite among the Setas, with Giungle.

This fragrance is a fresh aromatic and very sweet one. It smells mostly of rhubarb (slightly bitter then sweet), and there are notes of cherry blossoms in it too. As it starts fading away, you get that base note of vetiver, but it's quite faint. At the end, all I can smell is that basic smell that all four of the fragrances in this collection have, which is bleh. The performance is alright at best. The longevity is 4 hours tops (then after that it's just that bleh scent). It has a moderate projection for a bit and becomes intimate after about an hour. The scent is unisex but leans a bit towards the feminine side due to the sweetness of the rhubarb. It's pretty overpriced for what it is, even if it smells really nice. 5.5/10. The scent is a good 8/10 imo but the performance sucks so much that I can't give it a 6 or more.

A nice freshie that departs from the typical citrus and my favorite from the three I blind bought for the pretty bottles -2nd Cieli, 3rd Giungle. You get a crisp, refreshing, very prominent rhubarb that is later joined by cherry blossom and other florals (though not listed). The drydown becomes the aforementioned in a softer version, joined by a little more sweetness without ever becoming too much and the characteristic woody/silky base that all frags in this collection seem to share. As with most Ferragamo's , you get moderate performance, 5-6 hours. Great option for warm weather for anyone who wants something other than a citrus freshie. Although not juvenile, I do think all 3 would be a perfect option for a young girls first perfume. 🌹
