An aromatic lucky charm
One fine weekend, the handball cup took me from the far east to the far west of Cologne. And since there was enough time to explore the city before and after the games, I strolled through the city center and all the perfumeries Cologne had to offer (my husband happily trotted along behind me). I actually just wanted to test a few fragrances that weren't available here, but then a resourceful saleswoman showed me Cipresso di Toscana. Knowing full well that it was on sale and that she really wanted to get rid of the dusty bottle. She was lucky. After all, I not only got a great perfume at a ridiculously low price, but also promptly stumbled into the arms of a Lets Dance dancer (fangirl moment, I'm obsessed with Lets Dance, yeah, go ahead and laugh). A lucky charm perfume, so to speak.
The fragrance starts like a dip in a cold, crystal-clear lake, sparkling and invigorating. A not yet fully ripe orange greets me and invites me to dive deeper with its fruity sweetness. Then a beautiful lavender emerges. Lavender is often made to be very sharp and masculine, which I think is a shame because it always undermines the soft side of lavender. Here, the lavender is slightly sharp at first, in keeping with the sea freshness, but then becomes rounder and softer, almost sweet. This is then supported by the cypress (or some other tree with needles, I'm not so well versed in olfactory matters when it comes to trees). But still, it smells like I'm walking through the small forests on the high stone cliffs in Ibiza. Aromatic, almost like a wellness trip. Cipresso di Toscana sometimes takes me to the spa and sometimes to Ibiza and in between always back to Cologne because that's where I bought and wore it.
It manages to combine two completely contradictory situations. On the one hand, Cipresso di Toscana is incredibly refreshing. It tingles and invigorates. On the other hand, it calms me down, slows my pulse and lets me close my eyes and enjoy.
Summer fragrances always have a hard time convincing me, as I find many of them very monotonous. Cipresso di Toscana is different, more exciting, you remember it. It leaves you feeling fresh and showered, but not with shower gel for 85 cents, but rather freshly showered with the matching shower gel for trillions of euros.
I find the durability surprisingly good. I didn't expect anything and got along wonderfully with it for a whole day including two handball games and still smelled it in the evening. Sillage is perceptible. However, it seems as if the other person thinks you have just stepped out of a fountain and are not necessarily perfumed.
I got it for a ridiculously low price (remember, sale) so for me the PL ratio here is insanely good.
The day I wore Cipresso di Toscana, I got to take a photo with Uwe Gensheimer (if you don't know him, shame on you, thank you) and I swear, he smiled a bit more at me than at everyone else. It must have been the Acqua di Parma.
