I Vicoli Via Fiori Chiari

It has become a YES for me! The initial wear on this was strange, confusing, and unpleasant for me...not sure if it was the sebum on my skin, hormones, pH, the time of day...whatever it was, it wasn't working. Trying it again for the second time - and I totally adore this. Can't believe how different, and beautiful, and calming this fragrance is right now. The top gave me a spicy, minty, leather-y waft; outlined in oddly enough: grape skin. Don't know what note is producing it, but I smell it. Then the lemon citrus becomes louder, not annoying but more pronounced and these small, roughly ground up peppercorn pieces are scattered in b/w the fleshy parts of the lemon. Imagine having the peppercorn pieces on your countertop, on a nice cool day, and slicing a juicy lemon in half and then placing it over the peppercorns to decorate the lemon w/ the speckled pieces. You pick the lemon up and sniff it - that's the smell! Now in the meantime, the top has married together and rounded out, creating a wonderful herb-like earthy scent. This, along w/ the lovely lemon and spice, give a gorgeous dry down, making me feel like I have a deliciously, cozy TEA SCENT of all things. Just enough spice, a little herb, some sweetness, and the faintest dash of earthiness. Wouldn't be surprised if petitgrain (or something behaving like it) wasn't one of the unlisted notes in this. So excited for my little collection that I didn't get rid of this!!

Beautiful cosy slightly spicy concoction on boozy sweet and comforting base. I've to say, I'm quite impressed with this whole line from Trussardi and found 4 FB contenders from the line, this among them. The price is more moderate in comparison with other designer exclusives' series such as Guerlain and Armani, but the quality is really good. If one compares them with Tom Ford powerhouses, these ones are not the shouters. But imo Trussardis are more elegant for it. The blending and balance are gorgeous. This is really pretty, and quite unusual as aniseed really comes through and plays beautifully with coriander. It may well be one of the warmest, feminine and elegant coriander scents I've come across. And coriander is one of my favourite notes, that I have quite a bit in my scent wardrobe. Here, piney aspect of elemi supports the spices and slight booziness from the base makes it a very appropriate cold weather scent thats not the loudest signer in the chorus, but the one that knows how to work for a mass-appeal in a reserved way. I would not say that alcohol and liquor come across too much on my skin. Quite the opposite, I'm sensitive for too much booze, and here its just right. The presentation is also top-notch with cool cap and matte and simple flacon. Very positive experience!

The moment I was drawn to the intriguing bottle and sampled this fragrance at my local perfumery, I was instantly captivated. The initial warmth and the aroma of freshly made tea provide an immediate sense of comfort. As the scent evolves, the interplay of patchouli and marigold takes me on a whimsical journey, reminiscent of a wooden fairy embarking on a magical adventure. It's as if the essence of Taylor Swifts the 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' albums has been artfully blended into this sophisticated and magical elixir. Without a doubt, it has earned its place as one of my absolute favorites and a signature perfume that tells a story uniquely its own. The silliage depends on the layering, when done correctly, it has the power to captivate even those working in the glass-windowed booths at airports. I've been approached on several occasions.

Absolutely lovely. This scent is warm, cosy and inviting from the spices and vanilla, yet somehow it remains light/ethereal and never becomes overly dense or cloying. I can see how it is a traditionally cool weather fragrance, but I couldn't resist wearing it on an early summer day and it shines. In my experience, it's one of those "phantom" perfumes that hovers in a gentle fragrant cloud, but when I bring my nose directly to where I sprayed, it vanishes. Edited to add that the performance is excellent. I sprayed this at 6pm and woke up at 7:30am still smelling it. Also got a compliment at 11pm so the projection stays strong for hours

[NOV. 2020] Just tried this, and from the list of notes I was expecting something similar to Guerlain's Spiriteuse Double Vanille but its really more like Tom Ford's Black Orchid or Orchid Soleil! ...VIA FIORI CHIARI TRUSSARDI is more vanilla rum than vanilla whiskey not at all savoury, or salt-added. It is however very vanilla, fruity, and sweet-liquour. Considering I can get a Black Orchid body spray for $68 I will pass this one but goes to show you should always try before you plan to buy! Notes alone won't show (sniff) the full picture!
