Notes: pink pepper, tuberose, iris
Comment: IO is part of the Gli Invisibili Collection
IO is a beguilingly clean tuberose creation, with dusty touches of pepper and iris.
It's almost candy sweet yet not overbearing, with a black grape nuance in the background. The iris also exudes an antiquated vibe that some may find too old-fashioned. IO could also be considered the missing jigsaw piece to 24.09.11 and, when combined, produce an olfactory experience not too dissimilar from Vecchi Rossetti.
But, as always with most of the Gli Invisibili Collection, it starts out promising and then devolves into a whisper of nothingness. One can only assume that Hilde Soliani Profumi has adopted the dishonest approach of many designer houses, by releasing top-heavy fragrances with bland and insubstantial bases.
With moderate lasting power and low sillage, one will award an extra star only because, along with Cristina, it's one of the better releases from this collection.
