The Secret of what Women Want
Yeah, Pal Zileri Cerimonia seems to own the secret of what women want; that happens to me when I wear this perfume: women come by and ask me, "what amazing perfume are you wearing? It is so delicate!". I have come across Cerimonia by chance since the perfume shop I visit nearly once a week was selling it for just seven something bucks for 30 ml/1,0 FL.OZ.
When I tested it right off the bat, it reminded me of something I could not associate with, yet that instantly captured me. Honestly, I did not recognize all the top notes since the aromatic lavender and rosemary are very strong and come up quickly in the opening.
Then, I felt the spicy and resinous juniper berries, and smoothly the moss and tonka appeared and stayed there for the rest of its life. The greenish fig leaves provide an aroma that reminds the violet leaves, so bitter and herbal. The dry down is musky, or better mossy and woody, with a tad of sweetness coming from the tonka.
I like wearing it during rainy days when the air is misty and stuffy; some notes are better perceived. I think it lasts very long on my skin, the sillage is good and not nasty, and the projection seems moderate given the compliments I got. The target audience is men between 30 to 50. My favourite seasons for wearing it are spring and fall, and perhaps holiday summer nights are good as well.
