Unmistakably Gardoni's signature
If you deal with different fragrances of a perfumer, then you sometimes discover something like a "signature", a characteristic peculiarity that seems to run through all his works.
So also with this - comparatively unknown - work of Antonio Gardoni (Bogue Profumo) from Italy.
The idea of berceuse (French lullaby) and founder Will Carius is a collection of musical pieces that touches him strongly emotional. From these works, the perfumer may then choose a piece to serve as inspiration for the fragrance. In this case (and unfortunately the only fragrance from berceuse so far) it is the Allegretto (movement 2) of the 7th Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven. A quite moving piece, as I find.
The corresponding fragrance revolves around the theme of vetiver. Even if the music sounds rather gloomy and melancholic, the fragrance comes to me with a certain cheerfulness. It is not heavy and oppressive, but runs circular and rather undulating with the Gardonis typical lactone notes over vetiver and green-herbaceous notes.
Who likes Gardoni's style, her / him the intensity of his works such as MEM, MAAI, DOULEUR! or LiTA but are too violent for everyday use, will find in Allegretto 7.2 a unique-characteristic and yet portable contemporary, which beguiles his environment rather than disturbs ...
For noses that have not yet smelled Gardonis, however, I advise against a blind purchase ;-)
