*****
Year: 2012

Notes: bergamot, blackcurrant, coriander, tamarind, green leaves, lily, carnation, ylang-ylang, jasmine, iris, cedar, sandalwood, musk
Fiorisia is an unusual fruity-floral, with an underlying white floral heart.

Unfortunately, the tart tamarind (also referred to as an Indian date) intrudes too much for one's tastes. Although this accord complements the spiciness of the carnation, the emitting sourness can be a touch too medicinal at times. It's only when the woods emerge that the composition finds a sense of equilibrium.

As the acidic fruity tones fuse with the white floral bouquet, one can't help but discern olfactory similarities with Giorgio by Giorgio Beverly Hills (albeit woodier, less synthetic and not as piercing). Possessing average lasting power and reasonable sillage, it's certainly an acquired taste.
