Where is the Orient?
Hi guys, welcome to a new fragrance commentary. Today it's about a brand that, it seems, has been around for quite a long time, not necessarily in terms of fragrances, but it is said that Farmacia SS. Annunziata was mentioned in documents as early as the 16th century. Of course, everything has changed a lot until today, but what doesn't change over time? Cool cars from the 60-90s are increasingly replaced by egg-like round structures (well, some at least, at least some models are still nice and angular with huge radiator grills, I still find that good-looking... :D), TV and cinemas have to give way to streaming services, women turn from beautiful graces to fierce furies (oh yes, it's like that! :D) and even fragrances are always changing. Whether it's the oud boom, Iso-E super hype or whatever, everything is totally in at some point.
Anyway, I'm coming to Iso's fragrance now, which is supposed to give off the scent of oriental markets. And I mean, of course, the spices at the market, not the sweaty market visitors or screeching perfumas, uh, I meant, of course, screeching sellers who can be so skillful that they sell you a whole carpet at once, even if you just want to buy a new case for your smartphone and do not even have room for one of these huge oriental carpets :D
But well, so then to the fragrance!
The pepper seems less watered down later, but has not turned out particularly strong in its intensity, so here no one has to fear that you would have to sneeze or something :D
Later it continues to smell of light pepper, resinous notes, sweetish musk and woods that are not really determinable. All quite okay, but really not spectacular. At least the watered-down impression of the beginning is later in the base completely gone.
Later it smells as described, then becomes a little nicer, because it becomes more resinous, but because of its low charisma one smells the beautiful fragrance notes actually only if you press the nose at the sprayed place flat. Too bad!
Otherwise, the fragrance would probably be usable for spring, because it would evaporate too quickly on cold days.
And that's about it. Soo... see, that was a short comment without me making fun of you women! Didn't I? I'll check it out... noooo, the line about the Furies pulls it all back down... I guess I just can't leave it alone, heh heh :D
Well then, have a nice evening and see you soon :)
Oh and of course a happy new year to all of you! We "see" us here also in the new year, hopefully also all healthy :)

But well, so then to the fragrance!
The scent:
The scent starts with pepper, which comes across as a little green and watered down. I can smell a little musk right now, which provides a little sweetness. A little later I smell woods, which make the fragrance a little spicier. The pepper seems less watered down later, but has not turned out particularly strong in its intensity, so here no one has to fear that you would have to sneeze or something :D

The sillage and the durability:
The sillage is relatively weak from the start. Normally pepper notes radiate much stronger to me, but the scent here is as I said weak, so you have to get closer to be able to smell it on others. The shelf life is also not particularly long turned out, so that the fragrance is already after a few hours, I would say so after four hours, quite faded. The flacon:
The bottle is black and solid and not transparent. You can see the brand's intricately designed logo on the front, as well as the name of the fragrance. Everything quite okay. Conclusion:
Soo... so I don't know. Isos has for me with the Orient so purely nothing to do. Sure, it smells a little spicy, but just more like general spices, mainly pepper, but that's really it. Later, it gets even slightly sweeter with the musk. The way the scent smells here, it smells extremely mundane to me, really boring and it's something you've had on your nose 1000 times before. It's one of those fragrances where the spark is not only rudimentary, but not at all, because within a few minutes you've completely written off the scent and are looking around for something else. Especially since the fragrance also not normal nice smells (so normal like many other fragrances, but just also pleasant), where you could say: "Hm, is quite nice". It is not bad now, at least not in the repulsive sense, but as I said just totally boring and beyond that extremely weak in terms of sillage and durability. That's a shame if you have to write that about a fragrance, but not every fragrance is just beautiful or even at least somewhat interesting. Otherwise, the fragrance would probably be usable for spring, because it would evaporate too quickly on cold days.
