Maremma

Maremma is a very nice scent. It is a sandalwood & patchouli creamy fragance with loads of cocoa and a sweet flowery vibe. It is true that is very similar to black orchid by Tom Ford. If you smell them together there are some differences. Maremma smells more intense and overall more natural while black orchid is a bit more medicinal and plástic. In adition maremma has a better performance and lasts more time on skin projecting in a low/moderate level for 3-4 hours while black orchid projects high the first hour and then fades off quickly. However if a smell them separatly un different days i cant say which perfume is...i have tried It with my brother telling him use the two different days and i would say which one are you wearing...and not...i couldnt! I must say that i usted to LOVE black orchid because years before had a gorgeous performance. Now nevertheless It has changed and It has Lost all his powerful so maremma is a good option for those Who miss the old black orchid... Better for night time with fresh weather. Unisex!

I really like this but I like the drydown better than the opening. I find something in the opening sharp. Therefore, I find when first spraying it on, that it leans more masculine. However, once that sharpness goes away, it is beautifully powdery on me. That gorgeous powdery iris comes across as feminine and captivating to match her inner beauty and physical appeal. I don't find this fragrance deep or dark as others have stated, largely due to it being so powdery. I associate powdery scents more with innocence, femininity, angelic-like, modesty etc. My experience with powdery scents is that they perform better during cooler weather. For me this would be a daytime scent but may be something I might wear out to dinner on occasion. Projection is moderate, sillage is moderate but I wouldn't call it beast mode considering it's powdery and not strong like spices or licorice for example. I love this fragrance but not sure it's worth buying a whole bottle considering I will soon be heading off to live in a country where it is hot all year round.

I had been contemplating splurging on Black Orchid but I haven’t ventured into the world of Tom Ford fragrances. I have, however, been on a Tiziana Terenzi splurge as of late. This one really intrigued me and then I saw the comparison to BO, read the reviews and watched some videos about this fragrance and one that compared the two. I’m still curious about TF’s BO (can’t help myself but chuckle at that phrasing)... but, dang, I’m glad I pulled the trigger on this one. At first spray it struck me as quite on the feminine side, but I’m secure and so that didn’t bother me. After about 10 minutes, the magic started happening. Not sure I could really add anything that hasn’t already been said. This is just an amazing, luxurious, attention grabbing (imho) fragrance. Terenzi just keeps blowing me away. Big fan of this house with what I’ve purchased thus and scents like these only make me wanna keep on my Terenzi blind buying spree, though my wallet is like aight man, chill with that! Highly recommend!

Oooh! Ok, yes. YES. This is *very* complex, and another one I can do better by "painting a picture" than describing by notes: This is an Orphic devotee, sumptuous in her wealth, but grounded and earthy, reclining on her couch, enjoying wine and light fare on her airy Mediterranean terrace, the sun setting, the radiant heat from the cobbles still warming the air. Gulls call and lift in the breeze, her linen robes billow lightly, and her lotiony unguents play in the air with the sweet tinkling of her anklets. Her kohl painted eyes search the horizon for ships returning with silks, lapis, and glass. My husband isn't easily impressed nor particularly interested in fragrances, but this garnered an instant "I LIKE IT!" - which is about as good as his comments on frags get. Wearing this feels a little ancient, a little like a courtier, but still very connected to the natural world.

This is the one. We all deserve that one fragrance that makes feel like The Empress - assured, confident, sexy and the best version of yourself... She doesn’t scream and demand attention, no ....her self assurance, depth (oh yes dear shadows) warmth, and charm fascinate and pull you in. She commands without lifting finger and all the while you will sigh. Quite an experience - resinous and rich which is supported by clean and slightly narcotic solar florals. The spices and jammy fruit notes (to my nose blackberry-like) push through and gorgeous woods, deep, lightly sweetened cacao and Musk round it out. No nose itch or powder fest. No sore teeth... but not dry and cool either. Lush! On my skin feminine leaning and I really enjoyed getting wonderful wafts of the scent all day.

I’ve had this on my wishlist for years and finally copped a 5ml sample. All I can say is that this is seriously one of the best fragrances I have come across in ages. An instant crush, my quarantine lover. The opening is just divine and if I had it my way I would try to make that last longer. The top notes, especially the black currant and persimmon are really just delicious. I have been wearing this non stop for 3 days, including applying before bedtime. I just had to pull the trigger on a full bottle, It’s a new signature for sure. Deep into the dry down my wife hugged me and said “you smell so clean.” It’s a very warm, comforting, sexy, juicy smell. 10/10 , a real banger. If anyone can point me to anything with a similar vibe I’m here for it.

This is a slightly more masculine version of the TF Black Orchid, it's heavier without the truffle/mushroom funk, MUCH better longevity than the current reformulated 2019 Black Orchid. I probably should buy a backup bottle of this, definitely a love. Update 2 days later on 5/17/2020: This is so darn good I went and ordered a backup bottle now. Out of 50+ fragrances that I own, this is the first time I feel the need to have a 2nd bottle, just in case they raise the price or get refomulated in the future.

I don’t understand why black orchid has more love than this perfume. They smell practically the same however Maremma is smoother and more enjoyable from first spritz, so you don’t have to wait to get past the dirty sharp opening in order to get the sensual heart of black orchid. It’s not blind buy safe for the same reason that black orchid isn’t blind buy safe, but if you’ve tested black orchid in the past and loved it but found that the opening was a no go for you, this will be the perfect alternative.

This is one of my all time favourites when it comes to evenings scents. It is dark, sexy and mysterious you cannot separate the ingredients. It is suitable for both genders, but it would take certain character to rock this as a woman. This is for a femme fatale vibe of woman, sharp, edgy, provocative. The scent has the best performance EVER! It damaged me so now I expect the same from every perfume. I can last 24h with just 2 sprays on skin! I would recommend this any time. It so underrated for me...

Maremma is dark, heavy, intense. Seventeen notes, all blended perfectly, where the final product is more than the sum of its parts. I don't even try to identify all the different notes, I just enjoy the experience Maremma gives me. All the notes feel natural. This is very elegant, perfect for a night out. Long and heavy sillage. A truly unisex fragrance inside a square, black, minimalist bottle. The more I wear it, the more I like it.

Le parfum commence avec une touche du black-currant et ylang, une atmosphere du sud avec du pomme en fleur. Puis, apres 20-30min, se develope l'iris avec sa touche poudree et l'oud qui tempere la sensualite d'ylang. Mais arrive la miel (honey) pas sucree ici - la miel donne une touche de riche, pleine, somptueuse. Maremma = l'air de Toscana avec une touche de sensualite. Ce Parfum - une belle surprise.

Maremma, is like being followed by an orchestra while walking in a small Sicilian or Neapolitan alley. This one is crazy from A to Z. So so beautiful, warm sexy mysterious, In my top 10 of all time. To my nose, it is not very woody, more of a warm spicy fragrance, beautiful dark flowers trying to mimic Orchids. The performance is HUGE. 10/10 in my humble opinion.

Wow! This complex and multi-faceted perfume is filled with fruity and floral notes together with strong leather and wood tones which makes this perfume incredibly long lasting. Its black bottle contains all the charm of this wild and fascinating land of Maremma , one of the least well-known corners of Italy, yet one brimming with wonders.

Very beautifull! This is an extraordinarily romantic perfume. It has a really remarkable trail, and i personally find no resemblance to Black Orchid. This is really different, it's more romantic and sweet... I like it a lot, it's a sweet and romantic perfume. I love it! Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 9./10 Scent: 9./10 Overall: 9./10

Beautifull smell... And yes is almost same as Black Orchid (had it too). And now bad things... Projection and sillage are too weak. Parfume for intime situations i will say... Longetivity is ok but only close to skin and i dont like that kind of parfumes. Only beastmodes can be in my collection, so idk... Maybe I will sold it...

there is something flirty in this scent, it is an obvious yet mysterious, blended with hands of gold, when you smell it you don't pay attention to its notes, it takes you to a different place, Italian country side? maybe. it is worm, clean, fresh, yet deep and dense . This is Das Perfume.

Ohhh! Maremma is really special i feel in love with this.I have Black orchid and this is diferent.In my skin Black Orchide is more floral and sof, this is really dark and stronger.For night is sooo wonderful!! Longetivy and sillage are so good !

I really love it at first sniff. Yes it does smell similar to Tom Ford Black Orchid, but this one right here is smoother and creamier. It has a sweet powdery touch on the dry down. I love it. Perfect for night time.

I like this better than Black Orchid- its softer, more easy-going summery day. I get lots of coconut. Very good stuff. Would love this on a man also- Unisex all the way!

A lotf more better than black orchid. Black orchid has something annoying that marremma dont have. And maremma Has the best performance ever
