Ginepro di Sardegna - the smell of green woods
My first testing was in the summer 17' and it was a hit & miss for me. I did not care much for it - compared with the other 6-8 samples I had gotten from AdP. Fast forward a year and to the fall - this is where it has become real interesting for me. I think it works best for me in the early fall. To be fair, I think it could be worn in the spring as well and winter for the office. To me it's a great daily and office fragrance, cause I do like the smell. In the summer time, all I get is juniper, but in the colder and/or rainy days I do get a hint of some citrus, but still the juniper is the main note. To me, it reminds me of sweet wood, maybe a bit like the old wood-shop at the school when I was kid. But it is a green wood type, with some citrus. It's still a light woody scent and last 5-7 hours on my skin. I'm on my 3rd sample in a year now and it has gone on my to-buy list.

Green fig leaf
Had Noble Fig for some time now, a blind buy together with Bright Neroli. To me it is a fresh green leaf / fig leaf scent, that works well in the spring and now (between summer and fall). Even summer on colder/rainy days or evenings. But, mainly spring/fall. It is pleasant and I've been using it for casual/work. I do fell the scent is not very strong, and after 30-60 min. you have to be close to smell it. I do give it a spray or two on my cloth, just to make the scent last longer. The scent last around 4-5 hours on my skin. I almost sold the bottle after getting AdP Fico di Amalfi, however - Noble Fig is just better on colder days, while Fico di Amalfi is for high heat summer days (above 25 Celsius/ 77 Fahrenheit). I will be keeping Noble Fig in my small collection and I am looking forward to us it more in the fall.

Oh, I forgot one thing. I do think it can be a bit synthetic in the opening, but it keeps the scent pretty linear.

Absolutely wonderful summer fragrance
I've only had a few small testers (2ml), but I used it through out the summer. It opens with a lovely fig note, a bit citrus and dries down to some wood scent. On me I do not think it sillage is very strong and longevity is only a 3-5 hours on me. I still use on colder days when working at home or just doing nothing. Why? Cause I'm so in love with the scent, it's a fresh fig scent. It's like your strolling down some small street on an island in the Mediterranean in the summer, dresses in a white shirt and lose pants/bermudas - it has summer written all over it. It might not be the strongest scent, but it smells fantastical - so I use it more for me than my surroundings, if that makes any sense? What can I say, it just lifts me up. It is one of the bottles that I will have to get my hands on in 2018. Think it's best in summer, with +25 degrees Celsius.

Smoky aquatic scent
My first impression was: This was a mistake - due to the incense note. But I have grown to love it.
It's the original Acqua di Gio + incense. To me it is perfect for the summer evenings/nights, but I use it mostly for work/university and it is great, since it still is fresh and last long. It is for the more mature person, due to the incense. From the start I get incense, aquatic, citrus and patchouli. After a few hours I still get the aquatic + incense vibe. On me it last 7-10 hours on average. It can be used at work or when strolling the beach/city in the evening in the summertime.

Scent
Creamy blood orange, citrus and sandalwood
I have only used it for 3 weeks and in cold weather indoors, so I can not say how it will be in the warmer weather. Bought it mainly for use in work/university. It opens with a nice clean scent of blood orange, I do get some grapefruit/citrus as well - but not as strong. The fresh citrus scent fades after 1-1,5 hours, and becomes a skin scent that last 8-10 hours. After the first 2-3 hours I mostly get the sandalwood, with a very small hint of citrus - but it sits close to the skin. The sillage is 30-60 cm (1-2 feet?). I bought it, because I was looking for a clean, fresh work scent, that I could use in an office environment and also getting "sweaty" when doing more manual work. A scent that will not offend anyone, fresh citrus, yet very classy scent. I think this will be better in the spring/summer time, could be used for a light workout!
