Buongiorno is a citrus aromatic launched in 2025. Top notes are spearmint, basil, lemon, petitgrain, and rosemary. In the mid it has mandarin leaf and wild lavender. The base brings white musk, cedarwood, and amber. This is an exceptionally uplifting and natural bright citrus with crisp spearmint and herbal basil. It creates a sparkling, "sunny" Italian vibe. The green aromatic edge adds personality that takes it beyond a generic citrus. It has impressive performance for the genre and strong projection, 6-8+ hours longevity (often all-day in warmer weather). It’s a versatile daytime/office/spring-summer scent. It feels luxurious and timeless. Rating: 9/10 - This is a standout modern fresh release for me. It’s elegant, joyful, and expertly crafted with real depth via its herbal twists. Not revolutionary, but it nails uplifting Italian sophistication and outperforms most in its class. I reach for this often, when it’s even slightly warm outside.

… from IG : “I’m keeping you updated on what’s inside Creed Wild Vetiver, because I know a lot of you have been curious about this one.” Right now, the note breakdown is looking clean and focused — timur pepper up top, rose centifolia in the heart, and vetiver anchoring the base. Aromatic, woody, floral… very classic DNA on paper. There’s still no official release date, but let’s be real for a second: some people already have bottles in hand. That usually means it’s already in production, probably sitting in distribution warehouses while the marketing team lines up the rollout. That’s just how this goes. I’ll keep everybody posted as soon as more info drops. Now, honest big-bro talk — Creed lately has been a little hit or miss. And that’s okay. Brands go through phases. We fell in love with Creed because they made fresh, fougère, effortless, everyday luxury. The kind of scent you could wear anywhere and still smell like money and confidence without trying. They already have a couple vetiver fragrances in the catalog, so I’m hoping Wild Vetiver really expands on that idea and brings Creed back to that place in our hearts where it belongs — clean, refined, and unmistakably Creed. If you’re rooting for a comeback season, you’re not alone. I’ll keep watching this one closely and keep you in the loop 🤍

I recently returned to the States and am now in the office and decided to try out my bottle of Uomo Born in Roma Coral Fantasy by Valentino. This scent certainly has a mouthful of a name, but how does it perform? The fragrance kicks off with a sweet, fresh apple scent that immediately caught my attention. It reminds me a lot of apple-flavored hard candy, and it has a notable similarity to Y EDP, though I wouldn’t go as far as to say they’re the same. This delightful apple note is strong and projects well for the first five minutes, really setting a vibrant tone for the fragrance. After the initial burst, the fragrance transitions into some fougere-style notes, with sage and lavender taking center stage. These classic masculine scents balance out the earlier sweetness and bring a mature complexity to the profile. This middle phase lingers for about an hour, providing a robust character before it shifts into the drydown. The drydown introduces a sweet yet dry tobacco note, accompanied by a hint of patchouli that adds an earthy depth. This combination creates a slightly rugged vibe, which I find intriguing and appealing. In terms of performance, Uomo Born in Roma Coral Fantasy impresses. The initial projection lasts around four hours, creating a nice scent bubble around you. After that, the aroma remains close to the skin for just over seven hours, allowing you to enjoy it without overwhelming those around you. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed wearing this fragrance. While the opening may come across as a bit youthful due to its sweetness, the middle and drydown notes provide a more sophisticated wear. It strikes a good balance, making it worthy of a spot in anyone’s fragrance collection. If you’re looking for something that evolves beautifully over time, this could be the bottle for you.
