Maremma

I'm inclined to agree with those who liken the scent of this perfume to TF Black Orchid, as I too experienced a familiar aroma when opening the bottle at the mall today. Upon inspection, I noticed that both perfumes share a striking similarity in their raw, unapplied state - it's almost as if they're kindred spirits!

I concur that this perfume presents a milder, more refined interpretation of Tom Fords' darker scents, with noticeable similarities to Noir de Noir and Black Orchid. I'm detecting subtle hints of cacao, which I normally wouldn't be drawn to, but here it's executed skillfully alongside woods, oud, and blackcurrant leaf notes that I often find overwhelming. The more I inhale, the more I appreciate this scent, finding it perfect for winter and surprisingly gender-neutral. There are moments when I catch a whiff of coconut-like undertones, which may be attributed to the ylang-ylang, as those two ingredients are frequently paired.

To me, this perfume embodies a sassy femininity, characterized by its creamy, sultry, bitter, and oily notes. The persimmon and cocoa ingredients shine particularly well in this captivating fragrance, complemented by sweet and woody undertones. I'm particularly fond of the cocoa note, which takes on a remarkable buttery bitterness that elevates the scent to new heights. The blend of agarwood, flowers, and fruits provides a lush, rich backdrop that enhances the overall experience. Long-lasting longevity and impressive silage make this perfume stand out. Its moody, sophisticated quality makes it perfect for evening wear rather than daytime application. I felt an instant connection to this scent, as if I'd stumbled upon a long-lost treasure. The opening is nothing short of divine, with the persimmon and black currant notes combining in a delicious harmony that's sure to become my signature scent. This comforting, warm, juicy, and sexy fragrance has won me over completely - I'm thoroughly smitten!

It's a fragrance that demands a certain level of masculine self-assurance to truly appreciate its bold nature. Any man lacking in confidence would struggle to pull off its sultry, creamy, and bitter character.

The perfume commences with a hint of black-currant and ylang-ylang, evoking the atmosphere of the south with notes of blooming apple. After 20-30 minutes, the iris develops, its powdered touch tempered by the oud, which balances out the sensuality of the ylang-ylang. However, the honey adds a rich, full-bodied, and sumptuous note. Maremma captures the essence of Tuscany with a hint of sensuality. This perfume is a lovely surprise.
