Comment: Argento 925‰ is part of the Metalli Collection
Argento 925‰ awakens the senses with a piquant citrus blast, prefacing a combination of geranium, galbanum and an ozonic accord. Within minutes, the nutmeg and frankincense surface, leading the composition towards familiar woody territory.
As the citruses finally vanish, traces of what went on before intermingle with the emerging woods, with minimal evidence of any leather. The composite woods are dry, peppery and resinous, but unexpectedly sweet. Resting on a soft sandalwood base, the final stages are ambery and creamy, though rather generic, with a fruity nuance that's almost peach-like.
Although one wouldn't deem its performance as similar to that of a designer fragrance, it still smells like a poor man's niche release. However, it's an interesting creation, which utilises the aquatic aspect effectively well and is relatively easy to wear.
Lasting at least ten hours, its sillage is also very good.
