Florentia 22 – Pesca e Fiori
I Profumi di Firenze

I'm not typically fond of fruity florals – the more fruity the combination, the less I like it. Florentia 22 is super fruity to my nose… it presents powerful notes of sweet, unrestrained peachy peach . I'm not nearly as particular about florals… there are only a few I don't appreciate in fragrances… One of those is a strong lilac note… the lilac notes in fragrances often deliver powerful aromas that I do not find in the scent of actual lilac bushes.,, and I sometimes find lilac notes cloying and overbearing. Florentia 22 presents a strong, super sweet lilac note along with its peachy peach and, as if that's not enough, F22 has the added torture of a certain irritating green note. I don't know what ingredient is responsible for that annoying green odor – I have met it before in six or eight fragrances, but I've always been too busy washing the fragrance off my skin to note what note is causing the malodor. If I were a little more paranoid than I actually am, I might believe that this fragrance was purposely designed to disgust me.
