Touch GrigioPerla by La Perla, 2000

Too sweet and nowadays common. I smell a boring powdery/cedary/musky white oriental with hints of cinnamon and a plain shadowy cardamom/patchouli accord. At the beginning it makes me thinking about a sort of Body Kouros but without the incensey vibe. The dry down is slightly smoky and ambery over a cedary synthetic foundation. Not for me.

Reminds me of a less sweet and slightly spicer version of Boss Bottled. Personally, YSL La Nuit/L'homme trumps both of them.

This Italian perfume has one of the most enjoyable fragrances for me. A well-balanced combination of cinnamon, jasmine and vanilla that give a vibrant, smoky, sweet and loving aura. Long lasting on my skin and clothes. Has a good sillage too. Again be offered at various stores around here. Beware the expiration date because it may undermine the strength of perfume.

It smells rather sweet but at the same time almost smoky. The combination of that smokiness and musk and the sweetness is novel.

An unknown gem that deserves more attention...I catch cinnamon, cedarwood, bergamot, but especially amber, musk, vanilla, and more amber in the bottom notes. It's actually very unique smelling. Not too loud once it settles in...I wish it would last a little longer, but it's still worth it.
