GrigioPerla Hedò (2007)
by La Perla

Smooth, composed, solitary and silent. This is in the same range (at least for some of its facets and for a part of its development) of many  fragrances that combine, among some other elements (for instance ginger, flowers, lavender, spices etc), citrusy and watery-refreshing top notes with a musky, woody and milky-powdery base and i mean One Million or Le Male, Lempicka au Masculine or 212 Sexy Man, Roccobarocco Extraordinary and others. This one nevertheless is in my opinion far better than some bombastic scents of that range because over the first almost refreshing citrusy starting it fades towards a sort of shadowy, slightly floral, almost dark and cloudy musky base not so sweet and cloying but nicely dry, mild, smooth and talky. The mildness is a woody, ambary and fruity one, the refreshing role of the ginger is initially plain and the note of orange is always in the air. This is not my kind of fragrance but is not so bad.

Official notes:

top: Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot, mandarin
heart: ginger, pepper, neroli
base: cedarwood, cashmere wood, ambery notes, musky notes

Roughly translated: A creamy Iso-E Super with a touch of fruit and neroli. Nothing you haven't smelled once or twice before!
