Frankincense pepper sorbet against summer flaccidity
Would you like to cool down? Here she comes. Pepper, clearly white, almost dazzling, hisses out like a rocket and opens the room wide. This is quickly fulfilled by a very light incense, very even, not smoking in threads. Fruit scattered on the ground, a few raspberries here, a little pomegranate there. Not gourmandig at all or even sweet, hardly perceptible. Also flowers only at the edge, expanding the space. White Room, clarifying and invigorating. Patchouli without hippie airs or cellar muff makes the fragrance lively and colourful, and cedar blends harmoniously into the ethereal mood.
Conclusion: Melograno & Incenso is a noble incense-pepper-cedar scent, nothing sweet fruity and sacred as the name pretends. Harmonious and dazzling it is, but not pleasing, slightly cutting, like garnished with some pimento alias carnation pepper. Exceptional!
All-season fragrance, good H/S, unisex. Recommendation for incense lovers who do not want to do without this fragrance in midsummer.
NB: My first Gandini, so I don't know if I should take a stand for this traditional Italian brand, which is almost unknown among perfumers, under the umbrella of a corporate group. The minimalist-functional container with inconspicuous label of this fragrance series makes no statement, which stimulates to buy, just like the factual titles. But the content convinced me, and two more fragrances have been ordered.
