Notes: grapefruit, lemon, lime, blackberry, cardamom, green tea, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, musk
Dammuso takes its name from the ancient dry stone houses, with white dome-shaped roofs, dotted around the landscapes of Pantelleria, Italy.
It opens with a tart and pulpy grapefruit note, which is supported by other citruses and some blackberry. These top notes are arrestingly zesty, as a dry green spiciness from the cardamom slowly infiltrates.
With a woody-musk base, which includes cedar and vetiver, it's a well-composed, transparent and easy to wear woody-citrus. However, like this house's other fragrances, it lacks sufficient depth and originality. In the case of Dammuso, one is often reminded of Parfums de Nicolaï's Balle de Match (now renamed L'Eau de Sport).
Wearing close to the skin, longevity is below four hours.
