This was love at first sniff, I first tryed it few days ago and yesterday it was mine. I was thinking if or no to “invest” 140E (recently they become more expensive, Byredo selled parfumes at 115E), and I was thrilled between choosing this one or my eternal lobe Bal D’Afrique. Obviously Palermo is at home now and I enjoy, BUT the lasting power is less than enough. Not even 3 hours, afterwards it leaves a pleasant allure of parfume, but not the real smell. Wonderfully blended, first sparkling, than sweet and “rose” oriented, I’m very pleased, but sigh! sigh! sigh! ….

well, Palermo as a city is more about Normans and strange Germaqn origin rulers than mafia. and their food market is sensational. It’s more a city of chaos, smells and music art! Mafia is mopre present in smaller town scattered around the rest of the island.

Smelled this also at Les Senteurs (Sensualist Geek think we had the same SA, the lovely May? I think that was the name). A fresh sweet citrus blast that I quite liked, but again not enough to have a 100ml bottle of at the price… interesting that the ad copy about Palermo’s history omitted any reference to Sicilian mafia! I guess Goths and Vandals make for better copy!

I really love Fantastic Man and I enjoyed Pulp. I did try Tulipe and I’m looking forward to trying this one. Too bad Fantastic Man is only an EDC as it doesn’t last as much as I’d like it to, but it is one of my favorites.

This sounds interesting … as do most fragrances with battles or history in ad copy and names of exotic locales or figures in their names (hello Quarzazate and Koublai Khan.)

And sorry for being random, but where is the lazy weekend open poll? I just lost my ‘niche-sniffing virginity’ to the incense series and need a platform to ramble on about it

Oars clack when one of the people on the team (me) is a newbie and screws up the rhythm. Heh.

Dark Blue Persian Eyes, I suppose. They have a dark and mysterious side, don’t forget.

Am fueled by a strange mix or nescafe (with ice cubes) and Fanta.
An equally weird but delicious combination can be achieved by replacing Fanta with Light Coke.

Then watch the scent inspiration flow!

I mean “I suppose”. I haven’t had my coffee yet.
