Comment: Oro 750‰ is part of the Metalli Collection
Opening with sweet and full-bodied citrus-aromatic top notes, Oro 750‰ doesn't waste any time in unleashing its delectable floral core.
The lavender imparts a charming aromatic lift to the florals and the notes progress in complete unison. As soon as the vanilla makes its entrance, a dash of coumarin duly follows with its hay-like properties. During this time, an intense sweetness still persists, but the floral reign is short-lived and gradually consumed by the unyielding aromatic accords. Any evidence of frankincense is minuscule.
Possessing a rich woody foundation, the patchouli soon takes over the reins, but only until the sandalwood and musk are ready to reveal themselves. And as the woody-musk base flourishes, one can't help but sense a little disappointment in its humdrum finale, which has been done so many times before.
With an interesting first half, the composition lets itself down when the vanilla becomes more discernible. If the latter half has been just as compelling, it might have been rated higher.
Projection is acceptable and longevity is approximately eight hours.
