Aire by Profumo di Pantelleria

*****
Year: 2004

Notes: citrus, kiwi, white tea, jasmine, iris, tonka bean, white pepper, white musk
Aire is an inoffensively fresh tea scent. But, while pleasant to the nose, it's too ethereal and nondescript.

With an opening that's somewhat green and metallic, both the citrus and kiwi are dominated by a strong white tea accord. With the help of some florals and tonka bean, the astringency gradually softens to reveal a creamy sweetness, before a peppery white musk base emerges.

Although it's an intriguing release, it will probably only appeal to those looking for a clean or light tea fragrance. Personally, one would have preferred more substance, especially given the price.
