A curious thing happened when I retried Mazzolari's Signature 'fume. The first time I was just confused. It has slightly hard green top-notes and a tangy vetiver-like dri-down. Over-all, there's a golden quality that kind of knocks the wind out of me. Gradually, it calms and I am left with a mellow, day in the sunshine and golden grass.
Well, I really liked this as it was calming down & thinking of ordering it, when it hit me, I've smelled this before. A stronger version, and it's Balmain's Ivoire. I've had this ever since I bought it at TJMaxx for $15 early in my perfume adventures 2 yrs ago!
The main difference is; Ivoire is stronger, at least 2x as powerful, I would estimate. Try it and see what you think.
