*****
Year: 2009

Notes: tomato vine, Italian basil, pepper, spices, white chocolate, Brazilian cocoa, woods

Comment: CiocoSpesizissimo is part of the Profumo e Gusto in Libertà Collection

Based on a liqueur made by Hilde Soliani's grandmother, CiocoSpesizissimo is very intriguing indeed – opening with the greenness of basil and tomato vine upon a bed of spices, different types of chocolate and woods.

Featuring a demure spicy creaminess, it's not particularly sweet but more dusty and aromatic. With insufficient sillage and disappointing longevity, its performance appears to be typical of the offerings in this collection. As a result, it's overpriced for what it is, plus it also lacks the endearing qualities of CiocoRosissimo.
