Poor Florence!
If this scent were really the Florence symbol, nobody went to this wonderful Italian city of arts.
Florence means history, fragrant flowers such as the Lily of florence, emblem of the city. It means a countriside all around smelling of cypress and aromatic notes, it means spices and leather .
Well, where is the spirit of the glorious Florence in this watered-down and synthetic scent?
I re-tested it just this morning and the pale result was an indistinct mix of synthetic flowery notes without a base and without a "solo" of a vibrant characteristic note. The sillage is very weak. After a few minutes you don't smell anything on your skin (or, at least, this is my case).I'm sorry, but I'm very disappointed. i don't remember the original bouquet , but if this one is a reformulation, it's a bluff. The packaging too is quite kitsch and spartan and I don't see any reference to the typical symbols of the city of arts. So, don't waste your money for this fragrance. It isn't so cheap....buy it only if you are a nostalgic of the Nineties....but in this case, look for the original vintage version, if you cand find it again: it's far better!
