Just Wood?
Il Profvmo offers some beautiful and interesting perfumes. Aventure and Touaregh are among my favorites. But G11 leaves me somewhat perplexed. As uninspired and straightforward as the name, so is the scent. A brief hint of citrus, then a shift to dry, creaky woodiness, which has at least been enhanced with a touch of s...

A Fougère from the Seventies
Thanks to Duftstick, I can get to know the old Drakkar from 1972 today - many thanks for the sample. Surely this fragrance would be worth a refined, enthusiastic comment. Here, those who wore it with preference decades ago are particularly invited to share their memories. Drakkar embodies much of the idea of a men's pe...

The Moss Boss
Tirrenico is one of the controversial perfumes here at Parfumo. If its ratings are mostly negative than not because it is in any way bland or boring - but because it is truly beautific. Most people would classify this strange fragrance as an aquatic. They get impressions of different kinds of maritime scenery. The pres...

Herbal essences from Corsica
Lavender is a difficult fragrance ingredient. This beautiful scent is so fleeting it can hardly be used for anything but a top note. You will rarely find a lavender perfume that truly earns the label Eau de Parfum. The difficulties of lavender must be even more challenging for perfumers who follow the path of natural p...

A Soft Breeze From Lago Maggiore!
Stresa is a place at the Italian Lago Maggiore – one of the three big lakes in the Italian Alps. So, Acqua di Stresa is all about southern warmth and Italian Dolce Vita, it is about soft air breezes coming in from the lake but also filled with hints of opulent florals. What a wonderful concept, especially if the realis...

"Old Boy!"
Clubman is a sweet-spicy, musk-based men's perfume. A true old man’s scent. Here, I envision the rooms of a traditional yet quite run-down English club. The furniture, even the living ones, is exclusively pre-war vintage. There are decaying, wood-paneled walls, damp masonry, and worn leather sofas. In the open fireplac...

Other countries, other names
What Cologne has in its water, Italians have in their Zagara. If Johann Maria Farina had not embarked on his triumphal march through the European courts with his "Aqua Mirabilis" in the 18th century, perhaps the term Zagara would be more familiar to us. Because Cologne Water is essentially nothing more than that; the "...
