Cefiro (2001)
by Floris

After trying JF, Cefiro seems to have a sooth texture in common with it. I assume this smoothness is a house note for Floris. Barring that, this is herbal and citrusy. Nothing too exciting.

I guess I'm in a minority here... I rather like Cefiro.
It's built around the usual suspects citrus topnotes, bit of bright sandalwood beneath it all. However, what is very weird, and it is the reason I not only enjoy it but love it, there is a "silly putty" smell: remember the stuff that came in a plastic "egg?"
My recommendation is to give it a whirl. Lord knows there are enough irrelevant scents out there in the world, growing exponentially, but I for one don't think Cefiro is one of them.

A gift from a very kind basenoter. I was expecting something along the lines of a classical Eau de Cologne, considering the notes given, which I love, regardless of how conventional they may seem these days. However, to my nose the dominant note in this is "hairspray" or "generic deodorant." It smells somewhat feminine, in a cosmetic kind of way, and not at all like an expensive perfume. Is it an overly sweet lime note, or just an unfortunate hodgepodge that covers any distinct neroli, bergamot or other citrus beauty after two nanoseconds?
Blind I would have judged this a $10 drugstore scent, cheap synthetics and nothing beyond that. They offer this to guests at the Savoy? Remind me to book at the Stafford.

So sad - on the card it smelled subtle, cool and lightly feminine without being cute.

On me, it wasn't strong at all, as it was on mikeperez23. It was sprayed on around 13:30, and by evening nary a whiff remained.

My, this house is getting a bit generic and dull here. You want citrus with your Floris? Get JF instead.

I tried a sample - it smells like something I would wear in Summer and reminds me of Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey at the beginning of the scent, but not as 'sharp' as IM, a little warmer. I'm also smelling a slight 'aloe' note & as it dries down a 'beach sand' note, kind of a salty smell.

Agree with the previous review - it's STRONG & a little goes a long way.

I would not buy this - nothing new for me here.
