Body Paint

One of the best offerings from the house, Corticchiato knows how to mix crowd-pleasing while maintaining a unique narrative. Body Paint is adeptly named, this perfume acts as a second-skin, enveloping the wearer in a solid colour of synthetics, it even smells paint-like at time. Opening with lemon, peppers and juicy pear, it doesn't take long for the refreshing top notes to disperse and to make way for the cloves and wood - I feel, at this point, that the perfume takes on an almost Caronnade-like presence, rooted in a twist of antiquity. I wish the opening lasted a little longer because it is a beautiful hydrating tonic that would work exquisitely in the hotter months. The cloves and lemon hang around a little bit at the end of the fragrance's life but the dry down is rooted in the peppery woods of Iso-E Super, it's not novel, but if someone loves the molecule and wants a little more depth than anything from the Escentric series then this perfume is for them.

I haven't tried on my skin, but I will someday when I manage to get a decant! Super invigorating for me! 🔥 The spice is there but it's not like smelling hot sauce off a pizza. To me it has an interesting nutty spiciness, like dukkah if you're familiar with it. I agree with a comment here that it does also smell a bit like paint, but like acrylic paint more than strong nauseating wall paint. There's a drink in the Philippines called gulaman. Body Paint has a particular sweetness that reminds me of it, like a cold & refreshing kind of sugary juice. I thought I have my collection of scents I'm gonna wear for life all set but after smelling this dang I guess i better start saving up for a full bottle of this then. Lol I also just finished Horizon Forbidden West. Somehow to me this smells like the game's title screen. it's the experience i got when I first smelled it haha the drums before you hit New Game or Continue

Personalmente lo amo, anche se riconosco che non è una fragranza per tutti. A primo impatto ricorda l'odore di una bomboletta spray, di vernice, pungente come gli odori un po' chimici degli smalti (conferito dalla pera e dal peperone). Una volta asciugato subentrano le note speziate del chiodo di garofano e della noce moscata che rendono il profumo più portabile, ma mai banale dato che la pera rimane una costante, nonostante a detta di molti rimanga solo per poco tempo. Sul fondo il cedro che lo rende ancora più avvolgente. Profumo estremamente fresco, inebriante e con un'ottima durata.

I am absolutely in love with this fragnance since the moment I tried it for the first time. It’s weird, funky but so me... starts off as fresh tomatoes from the garden and goes to nice spicyness later. My absolute love my signature scent...❤️❤️❤️

I really like this fragrance for all the reasons that several of you don't: the alcoholic pear vapour; the pepper; the chemical/paint vibe; the weirdness of it. I wear this for my own pleasure, and as a warning to others.
