Nudiflorum caught me by surprise, in a great way! It's just such a weird scent, both floral, musky, leathery, oudy, sweet, animalic and fruity... it doesn't stop changing on me and that might be the most challenging part. I've fallen in love with it, it's so complex and intriguing. Not a compliment getter but a "what is that?" getter. I wore it during the April 25 celebrations in Portugal and found it quite appropriate because of the carnation(?) smell that I identified while testing. Was a nice conversation starter.

It smells too milky to me to the point that it gets kind of sour. Definitely unique, will have to keep trying it.

It's a beast but it really isn't as scary as advertised. It's screechy and potent for sure, it made nose go numb and clogged after a while.

Sweet. Smoky. Long lasting. Original. Perfect. You can feel the influence of Terroni in most Orto Parisi creations and it still can't be rivalled. Truly the greatest.

I was hoping to love this but it's just too patchouli-forward for me. The drydown is much better but it's still just not my thing. Still deserves 4 stars since it's just my personal distaste for patchouli that influenced the review.

This is where my Gualtieri journey started, as with most people. I still remember smelling this back in the day and thinking it's not for me. Now it's one of my favorites ever.

This is, for me, the greatest floral I've ever smelled! It just fits my taste so perfectly, I find it very unisex although some say it leans more feminine. I'm a man who loves his florals, sue me!

Just perfect, so complex with such an amazing development. On my skin it opens with a sweet whiskey note and ends in a beautiful rose dry down that still projects very well. Perfect for me.

I had tried it on paper before in store and it's always a point of debate. Some days I get that supposed "alleyway urine" note, some days just musky vanilla. I received the sample, tried on paper again and once again a beautiful musky vanilla. Showed it to some of my students and the debate was almost immediate with some liking it and some instantly noticing a strong "alleyway urine" note. Well, when I finally tried on my skin it became just that: dried alleyway pee. Still a very unique fragrance that I'll be trying again.

This is such a gorgeous fragrance! You get that chocolate but I would say not in a patchouli way like Pardon. It's very smoky woody, the dry down reminds me of Terroni. There's definitely a shared DNA here, love it!
