Mangiami dopo Teatro by Hilde Soliani Profumi

*****
Year: 2008

Notes: citrus, melon

Comment: Mangiami dopo Teatro is part of the Teatro Olfattivo Parma 08 Collection

Mangiami dopo Teatro is a fresh and gratifying melon offering, inspired by "the happy camaraderie of eating out with friends after a theatrical performance".

Producing a melon fragrance isn't that easy but Hilde Soliani has successfully composed a true-to-life rendition of this fruit, which smells a lot closer to cantaloupe due to its creamy honey infusion. And although it exudes a candy-like sweetness, it smells very natural from beginning to end.

But for all its olfactory associations with summer, youthfulness and frivolity, it's still a simple and linear creation that's overpriced for what it offers. That coupled with its limited fruity pubescent appeal mars it from being made worthy of full bottle consideration. However, its longevity is rather impressive with satisfying sillage.

To those seeking both a well-composed and robust melon composition for summer, it'd be very difficult to find a better alternative.
