Florio

I bought this in Cefalù very impusively because I thought it was a good choice for the summer. It's irisy, powdery, and it has this side of maracuja/passionfruit but in a distant way. As much as I think the iris should be appreciated, this is a VERY LINEAR scent. There is not a real olfactory pyramid. Not even in the physical stores you can find any information regarding the development of the perfume. This is, in my personal opinion, a matter that should be considered because some of us enjoy the turns and twists of perfumes and expect some evolution. That being said, the perfume is a little old-school, but it is not heavy enough to smell like an old lady. It's a floral classic, with iris being prominent and taking us back to the first makeup products we knew. Of course, you can tell the source materials are organic and true essential oils. But more natural does not equal more high-end. And the narcissus for me is... missing. It reminds me of some Miss Hanoi versions (the green bottle at least), but with a stronger iris. It gives "flowershoip meets makeup".
