   |  I love this. Love love love. Very clean, it reminds me of linen for some reason, and my husband likes it, too. I get a lot of bergamont from this and pepper. I can see this being effortless, regardless of weather or gender. It was love at first sniff.20 December 2008 |
  | I love woods, pepper, and citrus. Eva has these three together and the blend is so smooth and natural it's just effortlessly elegant. Great unisex. Now only if it is easier to find and at a much MUCH lower price... 14 October 2008 |

| Eva started off with a deliciously fresh herbal green note that had me thinking of comparisons between it and Miller et Bertaux #3. But then, the citrus notes wandered in and Eva turned out to be a citrus aromatic fragrance more than anything. Smell-wise, it is a cross between Etro's Lemon Sorbet and CdG's Ourzazate. While I liked Eva just fine, given the strong presence of vetiver, it would clearly be better suited on a man. I kind of wonder why Santa Maria Novella gave it such a decidedly feminine name as it is likely to put off any regular (read "non-perfumista") man! Per The Perfumed Court, here are the notes: Citrus, bergamot, black pepper and vetiver. 02 July 2008 |
 | YES! I cannot get enough of this scent. It smells so off-putting in the sample vial... yet after two minutes on your skin, it smells almost identical to some wonderful Italian unisex scent that I worshipped several years ago... (still not sure what scent that was, but the men wore it well and the ladies wore it gracefully.) It's very clean, very crisp, somewhat citrusy, and reminds me somewhat of Neutrogena's Face Lotion (and soap, etc) for Men-- one of my favorite scents ever. I would REALLY love to have a full bottle of this, while it's still (hopefully) around. 23 October 2007 |
  | Excellent scent with a tart citrus opening, then a momentary herbal mint note which mellows into notes of a floral/jasmine note and the woodsy grassy base of vetiver. The first SMN I've ever sniffed, and I like it a lot! 29 April 2007 |
   | This is an amazing unisex fragrance. Balance of citrus top notes and earthy undertones. Clean, elegant bergamot and lemon create a lively freshness, while woodsy pepper and cedar evoke a musky sensuality. This is an incredible fragrance that is just springtime in a bottle. 12 March 2006 |
