I guess I promised myself too much
This is my first comment I want to leave here for a fragrance. For about 2 years now I am interested in fragrances, especially in fragrances that you can't see and smell at every corner.
Every now and then I dare to buy a fragrance blindly, but in the last months I noticed that one has to be a bit more careful with the not-everyday scents and rather test the scent first. Great that there are possibilities for this, I use the offer of ALzD.
I had a past sample of Lubin Akkad and this scent immediately appealed to me. So 2-3 weeks ago I ordered this scent as a bottle from ALzD. Many years ago I became aware of the perfume house Lorenzo Villoresi through a book of men's fashion.
I liked the story behind this house and I knew that one day I would test these fragrances. With the order mentioned above I have included nine scent samples from the house of Lorenzo Villoresi. In the meantime I have tested all but two of them. I give each fragrance at least two tries and this morning I sprayed the fragrance Uomo by Lorenzo Villoresi for the second time. There were certainly about 8 sprayers. Since I knew from the first try that the scent is not too intense. Freshly sprayed on I like the scent quite well. It smells classically masculine, fresh and tart at the same time. It is definitely not a fragrance that screams, but a discreet scent suitable for everyday use, so the first perception. Unfortunately my experiences from the first attempt were confirmed today. After about 30 minutes most of the scent has disappeared or is no longer perceptible. Now I sit at my desk and smell my wrist, here I sprayed twice, about 1 1/2 hours ago. When my nose touches my wrist, I can only perceive the scent very discreetly.
I'm afraid I'm rather disappointed in the smell. Maybe it's because of my skin chemistry or what the experts call it, but to be honest, up to now all the fragrances from this house have performed rather weakly on me. Even Teint de Neide and Alamut in the EdP concentration were no longer perceptible after 3-4 hours.
I would have really wished that I could implement 2-3 fragrances from this house in my assortment, unfortunately I do not see this until now. All fragrances smell good, some extremely good (Teint de Neige, Alamut, Colonia) but I expect a fragrance to accompany me throughout the day, to develop and to get into my nose every now and then.
Other fragrances can do this much better. For example, I'm currently trying out classic fragrances, I'm very happy with the scents Vetiver EdT and Habit Rouge EdT from Guerlain or Opus from Penhaligons. I had hoped that the price has also raised expectations that I may ask a little more from this house.
I hope that the fragrances work better on your skin and that you will have your pleasure with these fragrances. The fragrance Uomo by Lorenzo Villoresi will unfortunately, and this is a real pity, not be included in my collection at home.
