Comment: Presenze is part of the Gli Invisibili Collection
Presenze is supposedly an ethereal vanilla offering, but one finds it excruciatingly nondescript.
Yes, it does exhibit a freshness (both from the bergamot and lily of the valley) and the jasmine is discreet, but there's hardly any structure. The woody accords are barely there and the vanilla is excruciatingly thin. As for its general performance on the skin, it's pretty abysmal.
One isn't completely sure just how synthetic Presenze is, as it doesn't smell particularly natural. However, one thing's for certain – this house has been churning out far too many new releases recently.
