Loggia

Love this scent and just ordered a full-size. The individual notes are well-blended and no one note dominates for me - I get a lovely incense smoke, and a creamy, almost fruity accord - like the aromatic woods found in an orchard. It must be the cognac and/or the musk with the woods? The drydown becomes more spicy, but the fruity, faintly boozy, sweet top notes never really dissapear completely on me. Wood-heavy fragrances are rarely feminine, but I would say this is unisex leaning feminine on account of that sweet, creamy note. Personally, it gives me a wave of nostalgia - my grandmother used to wear Avon’s Topaze, and this is reminiscent (wood, musk, spice). However, Loggia is infinitely more natural, balanced, and modern - no fussy florals or fizzy aldehydes. Easier to wear, yet more nuanced. It’s a lovely balance between light and fresh, and refined - I’d say it’s very well suited to cold-weather daytime wear and to a special evening out. A small dab with the sample wand makes it stay very close to the skin, but the longevity is impressive - still a complex, lovely scent 6 hours in, on my scent-canceling skin!

I love this scent. It smells like you are in a polished wood cabin and a fancy older woman walks by and is wearing a spicy vanilla-musk perfume! my sister said “you smell like old lady perfume.” i couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist all day at work, i’m obsessed!

Very much reminds me of the feel of TOBACCO VANILLE. Similar stories, different flavor, identical vibe. Bold, hot opening dries down to creamy smooth sweet spice. Perfectly unisex. If you like T.V. but want a less common, fresher/lighter scent, this is for you. I can see this as a spring fragrance, transitioning from richer, cold winter scents to lighter, summer styles.

39th EDP: I loved the floral-fruity-herbal aroma about it, but the polished/varnished wood(mahogany?) note turned me off. If it had a slightly sweet natural wood smell, I would have loved it, as the other notes together smelled unique. Maybe Angela can make something like this without the polished wood smell? It seems that it's the case with this perfume line: I love most of the composition in many of her scents, yet there will be some harsh note that will make it unbearable for me. 6/10

Smells like varnished wood and spices. Pretty on point with what it’s going for. Unluckily for me, that scent makes me feel lightheaded. It dries down a bit fresher, lighter, and sweeter spiced. Interesting, but maybe not quite a like. It has a distinct base smell here that reminds me of some of Alkemia’s bases.
