Elena by Mazzolari

*****
Year: 2014

Notes: lime, orange blossom, osmanthus, amber, vanilla, vetiver, precious woods, musk
Elena opens with a stimulating lime and orange blossom pairing, before shifting to the aroma of a subpar floral designer offering. It then goes through a cheap floral-aromatic body spray phase, after which the floral remnants are thrown into a synthetic mire of vetiver, scratchy woods and white musk.

Ultimately, the only good things about it are the fleeting top notes and its impressive sillage. While the journey itself was compelling, in its own twisted way, it's still a confused mess.
