Perfume Reviews by Pasionaria

Kitrea by Maria Candida Gentile

The projection is very weak. I smell salt, and something bitter, citrusy, as per the name. Then some sweet fruit.

Nero Incenso Concentrato by Farmacia SS. Annunziata

Not exactly what I was expecting from an incense. It is sweetish, boozy. Is it the bergamot? Or the coriander?
Not smoky at all.
Good longevity.
More on the male side.

Erémia by Aesop

So strange. Last autumn I didn't like it and I wrote "Patchouli and galbanum are all I feel, after the first citrus whiff. A leathery scent, in my book. Very dark and wintery." Now, in May, it smells marvellous. Balsamic, a tad sweet but not cloying, I am buying myself a bottle. Strange how things change.

Ink by Akro

Reminds me too much of Bulgari Black. Not a novelty IMHO.
If you miss Black, this could be a choice.
Very little ink.

Essenza di un'Isola : Acqua by Acqua dell'Elba

On the lines of Acqua di sale by Profumum Roma, only more marine and less flowery.
Where Acqua di sale has that detergent drydown, Acqua has salt. Still very strong, but more pleasant.
An acquired taste, not for everyone and not for everyday.

Versace Versense by Versace

So fruity it's almost burp-ish. Disappointing. How can they assume that all women like cloying sweet scents?

L'Eau Bleue d'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

Am I the only woman wearing this? I really enjoy it, it is perfect for spring, with rosemary and sage and all things fresh and clean it uplifts me and makes me feel comfortable
