Simple, strong, beautiful but synthetic
The Context
This is another sample that I got as a gift from my birthday and it was one of the samples that I wore the most for reference on my skin in order to compare other fragrances and understand the vetiver and geranium notes. Then I moved on. This one with Possess the secret Man by oriflame and Attraction Rush by Avon were really similar and just one accord made the difference from one to another. This one is more floral, the second one in the drydown becomes a bit peppery and the third one more sweet.
The Scent
This is a sweet, floral and synthetic fragrance. Right from the start I’m getting these accords and it’s all made by these three accords, geranium grapefruit and vetiver. As it dries down it becomes more spicy and cool, like somewhere there is a mint accord, but not really. The sourness and fruity component of the grapefruit remains in the drydown, so it does not play the role of a fresh citrus. The scent does not evolve into another phase from this point, just swings around from the grapefruit to the geranium, to the vetiver. Overall a solid creation and
The Projection
This is a moderate to an extended reach. I only have the sample and it extends from my harm pretty easily and often I catch the scent.
The Longevity
From my experience I’m smelling this one at maximum 4 hours, but again, with just the sample. I imagine this being even more powerful with a wider spray.
The Perfumer
Mister Giordani is made by Nathalie Lorson, who is a senior perfumer with a vast catalog and a wide range of different types of fragrances that are both in the niche and designer markets. Well known creations from her are: Gentleman (2017) by Givanchy, Encre Noir by Lalique and K by Dolce & Gabbana.
Conclusions
A strong and slick fragrance by a senior perfumer that has a simple formula with a synthetic component in the opening and good projection and longevity. Sometimes in perfumery I’m a bit too used to complex compositions and multiple layers and different evolutions that sometimes I need a simple formula that either it will swing from its different notes or it will just be a linear scent, with no other phases. Mister Giordani is one of the fragrances that I like the most for having that simplicity and ease to apply.
Thank you so much for reading my review. I’m not that enthusiastic about these samples, but the perfumers. Maybe when I get the full bottles I will appreciate these fragrances more, plus, they are not expensive at all. The next review will be on Attraction Rush Men and at the point of me writing this I have run out of this sample because it was the one that I reached for the most and also it was just 1 ml decant, so not that much volume I had at my disposal.
