Limonaia

It is very unpleasant and pungent for the first 30-40 minutes. Only after that is it pleasant to smell, for me citrusy, slightly creamy but unfortunately nothing special.

Until now, I couldn't do much with the usual Ugolini DNA. Not very exciting for me. Mainstream for niche lovers. This one is different; it bears little resemblance to the brand's representatives I've known so far. But beware! After the many teasers, one might have thought a new 'freshie' was coming: citrusy, pleasing, light. It is not! The top and heart notes are dominated by grapefruit, lime, and especially citron. This makes it special and strong, and also quite striking, at least in the first 30 minutes. Add a bit of Ambrocenide, and it would have fit perfectly into one of the Gualtieri fragrance lines. In fact, it reminds me somewhat of Risvelium – more sophisticated, but with a similar addictive potential if you like the unique top note. A citrus-aromatic fragrance not just for warm days!

Citrusy and very, very tart. Unfortunately, it stays that way; I miss freshness and lightness.
