Italica (2021)

“I get a whiff of almond in the opening and then something very green and sharp. Like a spicy fruit bowl, which is bizarre because there’s no fruit in the notes. After a couple minutes it creates a sillage of this sweet, creamy, milky caramel cloud. I can still smell the spice (likely saffron) and freshness in the background, but it’s nicely balanced. It’s not as rich, deep of a gourmand I expected it to be, but it’s cozy and definitely not basic. However, if I take a whiff up close, it still smells like a spicy fruit bowl. Longevity and projection are also meh.”

“Got a 30ml bottle a couple of days ago. I really like this fragrance,it's sweet and you can tell that it has a good quality ingredients. I get mostly almond and vanilla. Very beautiful bottle and box. Performance however is not very good cosidering the price. I get about 2-3 hours with moderate sillage. I have Uden and Starlight and they both last a lot longer. I would recomend this one if you like sweet fragrances.”

“O.k to like in winter.A musky vanilla with floral notes that must be saffron that is far from bitter here.It has limited presence when it is cold.Almonds and milk are also present dominating the caramel.It is sweet but not too sweet in winter and reminds me of Bianco Latte which is bigger, sweeter with nuclear sillage. Italica I do not feel on myself past 2 hours in winter - it stays close to my skin. A disappointment.”
