Comment: Anemone is part of the Ti Amo Collection

The Ti Amo ('I love you' in Italian) collection was the debut fragrance collection by Italian perfumer Hilde Soliani. It comprises of five fragrances, with 'TI AMO' being an acronym that represents the first letter of each of the five releases (all of which are the Italian names of particular flowers):

T = Tulipano
I = Iris
A = Anemone
M = Margherita
O = Ortensia

In addition, the flowers listed above weren't randomly selected, as each one encapsulates a cherished emotion or memory. Anemone is based on the scent of a Parman theatre.

With ephemeral green components, largely from the tulip and green ivy, it's simply a variation of Margherita but with tulip and cyclamen instead of bluebell, honeysuckle and rose. It's woodier in its general nature and there's a crispness from the lily of the valley, but one sadly doesn't find it as engaging.

Just like Margherita, diffusion is moderate but Anemone's lasting power is below average.
