Wanderlust: Florence
The pearl of the Italian Renaissance. Elegant iris, bright berries, gilded amber and velvety spices.
In imp: a heady, fruity-floral blend. I'm very clearly smelling iris and berries, sweet and almost intoxicating. I'm also getting the slightly-powdery amber.
Wet on skin: the powdery amber is the first thing I can identify, which doesn't bode well for me :/ The iris has gone missing, it's mostly just berries now--and thus fruity, but on second thought--it feels more "foody" than "fruity" to me.
Dry: sadly, this is an amber I apparently can't wear. The powder's overwhelmed the scent, and it's gone slightly oily as well, and as it stays longer on my skin, it's giving me a definite Blood Pearl vibe: that same sort of oiliness.
Verdict: I love the place--I've just been there a few weeks ago!--but I'm afraid the blend is just not for me. It is a pretty scent, and it feels quite appropriate for Florence, but even if it had not gone powdery, I'm not sure a heady scent like this is for me.
