Ichnusa • Profumum Roma

I was worried it might be too heavy for summer, but the green herbs and fig leaf keep it surprisingly fresh. Lasts well into the evening without being overpowering, and the myrtle gives it a crisp, outdoorsy feel I keep catching on my sleeve.

The opening is a beautiful burst of green herbs and fig leaf, very fresh without being sharp. The myrtle gives it a unique Mediterranean character that lasts for hours on my skin.

I was worried madrona would read too sharp, but it's the green herbs that soften everything into something almost Mediterranean. Two sprays on my wrist lasted a full workday, which is rare for a woods fragrance. Myrtle keeps it from turning sweet, and I keep catching my own sleeve.
