Year: 1999
Notes: plum, frankincense, rose, geranium, vetiver, oud, sandalwood, musk
From what has been mentioned about 10 Corso Como, skin chemistry plays a very important role as wearing it could either be a pleasure or simply awkward. Personally, there's something about the composition that fails to capture one's imagination, as much as one would dearly wish to discover some redeeming virtues.
With a fermented plum note (smelling far closer to cheap red wine than the actual fruit) and some frankincense, the astringent opening is more bewildering than inviting. As it continues to develop, accords of rose, geranium and vetiver playfully hint at their presence while never overwhelming. An oud note is discernible but it's nowhere near as prominent as initially expected.
With a drydown comprising of powdery whispers of sandalwood, musk and remnants of what went on before, its lasting power and sillage are both respectable but still underwhelming.
