Attimi by Esperienze Olfattive

*****
Year: 2011

Notes: grapefruit, clary sage, lavandin, chamomile, rosewood
Being 100% natural, Attimi isn't tenacious nor a powerhouse by any means.

Instead, it's very reminiscent of a traditional Eau de Cologne, with grapefruit, light woods and aromatic accents. After the grapefruit, the next noticeable accord is the clary sage, adding a green herbaceous touch. And both the lavandin and camomile further reinforce that herbaceous aspect, instead of revealing an outright floral core. One can also discern a suggestive spiciness throughout most of its lifespan.

As for the drydown, it's slightly citrusy yet sublime, featuring rosewood and possibly a hint of either castoreum or civet. With a gentle creaminess, a discreet faecal quality and a sweet sherbet-like texture, towards the end, one finds its evolution positively engaging.

Lasting under four hours, it's extremely pleasant for what it is. One's only reservation is that the grapefruit isn't as fresh or bracing as originally expected. Still, the quality of the ingredients is apparent, it's well-executed and is very affordable for an Eau de Parfum.
