Quando rapita in estasi emerges as a dramatic masterpiece that divides and conquers the niche fragrance community with its operatic interpretation of sacred smoke. This bold creation opens with an almost overwhelming blast of church-like incense and smoky resins, gradually transforming into a more approachable composition of spicy cloves and delicate florals. The fragrance's exceptional longevity and powerful sillage make it a statement piece rather than a daily wear. While some celebrate its artistic boldness and theatrical presence, others find its initial intensity challenging. The drydown reveals a softer side with vanilla and woods, though the incense remains ever-present. Best suited for cold weather and formal occasions, this is a perfume that demands attention and refuses to be ignored - much like the Italian opera that inspired it.
