Comment: Bosschiisssimo is part of the Profumo e Gusto in Libertà Collection
During a dinner at El Molino restaurant, in the ski resort of Cavalese, chef Alessandro Gilmozzi presented Hilde with a special dessert, called Essence. Tasting it brought back personal memories of walks taken through pine forests, as well as walking barefoot in the woods during summer. Bosschiisssimo encapsulates these personal experiences.
Opening with a menthol-tinged bergamot opening, the coniferous accords quickly present themselves, emitting fresh, verdant and slightly woody properties. Some moss lurks beneath the surface but it intensifies over time. As the composition evolves, its tone becomes darker and earthier.
The green coniferous aspect gradually fades, as a more notable woodiness replaces it. Sadly, it turns out to be an underhanded serving of cedar. With hopes of a substantial moss base now dashed, any personal interest in the remainder of the drydown comes to a grinding halt.
Just like Fighisssimo, Bosschiisssimo is a woody-green effort that's greatly marred by poor tenacity, as well as the unexpected inclusion of cedar. Had things been very different, a bottle might have been on the horizon.
