I bought this fragrance blind. After the first spray, I decided it wasnt anything special and put it away in the cupboard. However, after more than a year, I decided to give it another chance. The opening is just as tacky as I remember, dominated by synthetic raspberry before a beautiful rose comes to the forefront. The base is woody and very pleasant; I can also detect musk, even though it is not listed among the official notes. I have the impression that the fragrance needed time to mature, as it is now noticeably more enjoyable than I remember. That being said, it still doesn’t impress me greatly. It’s more of an everyday, safe composition, without a wow factor. Longevity is around five hours, with average projection.
When I first purchased, I thought it was weak. I like the smell alright, it just didn’t last long or project as well as I expected. After a year of aging in a dark drawer, it has turned into something beautiful. It now performs much better.
This is a heavy, intense and complex chypre. The opening features slightly spicy citrus notes with ginger, followed by a strong combination of incense, flowers and fruits, with a generous amount of honey. The base is deep and rich, woody and leathery, with amber and musk; slightly smoky and balsamic. There is a lot going on in this fragrance, but for me it is simply overwhelming. It fills the entire room, and after six hours I had to wash it off as it became too much for me.
This is a heavy chypre fragrance with a vintage feel. The composition is floral and herbal, with a touch of incense resting on a balsamic, woody base. Although I enjoy some vintage fragrances, this one doesn’t appeal to me, there is something in it that I find off-putting, possibly tarragon. Longevity on my skin is around five hours, with projection at arm’s length.
Thumbs up, that's all I can say compared to TL.
It’s a simple citrus composition with a balsamic, ambery base. It opens with bergamot, lightly sweetened by pear. After about an hour, the resinous, ambery base comes to the fore and the scent becomes more woody. The projection is very poor, and the fragrance disappears after around three hours.
Great fragrance for all day moments. Used to be my signature.
Torino22 is a spicy yet fresh/clean scent. the matté and eucalyptus comes through quiet beautifully with a nice saffron/woody base. It’s a gorgeous scent that lingers but doesn’t intrude and gives you an aura of sophistication without screaming for attention. I’m not always a fan of specific lines and the same goes for the Torino line, but 22 stands out as a little piece of artwork. The combination of spice with clean/fresh and deep woods is done fantasticly. it reminds me of summers in the south of Europe, going from museums to the dinner table and a splash in the pool, all done in style.
It probably needs no introduction, some people love it, others not so much. It’s modern and strongly saffron-forward, with a touch of sweetness, a generous dose of amber and woods, and an impressively long trail. Very long-lasting with excellent projection.
Not bad for a slightly peppery cedar. Nothing special but it is solid if not a little boring. I would have kept it if it didn’t disappear on my skin within less than four hours.
Delicate, feminine scent with a light, elegant feel. It opens fresh with a hint of citrus, then develop into soft, powdery florals, mainly peony and rose. The overall impression is subtly sweet, creamy and very clean. It’s a feminine, unobtrusive scent, perfect for daytime wear. Not heavy or overwhelming, but rather safe, pleasant and easy to wear. On my skin, it lasts around 6 hours, with projection at about arm’s length.
It’s a powdery, clean scent that makes me feel as though I’ve just had a bath and moisturised my skin with my favourite body lotion. It opens with soft floral notes, before musk comes to the forefront. The base is lightly woody and creamy perhaps because of the presence of coumarin. On my skin it lasts around six hours, with projection reaching about an arm’s length. It’s an ideal everyday fragrance and perfect work scent.

This smells like an aromatic, spicy biscuit. Cinnamon, ginger, nuts and sweet caramel are clearly noticeable. The scent is very similar to Ginger Cookie by Demeter. Unfortunately, it stays very close to the skin, and on me it lasts a maximum of three hours.
I‘ve been smelling my bottle/spray on paper eve other day since I got this I can’t get enough after Stronger For You Intensely this is my Top 3 “sweet smells”
I’m very glad I didn’t give in to the general hype and blind bought a full-size bottle.This is an intense, rather austere fragrance. At first, incense, elemi and pepper hit you like a hammer. As it develops, patchouli and more spices come through, giving the composition a distinctly herbal character. What I like most is the amber-woody base, which slightly warms the scent. Even so, it remains heavy, dark and earthy. This is a fragrance for a true nomad, deeply connected to nature , wild, dry and uncompromising. Longevity and projection are nothing short of titanic. This is definitely not a safe blind buy.
City rhythm really does know how to make fragrances. This is another freshy from this house that can be worn in any season. Very much unisex fragrance, I love it and when my GF rocks it, it’s incredible. I think if you love the City Rhythm DNA, you can totally blind buy this. This is definitely an easy reach for me, especially on a warm summer day.
For years, this has been one of my favourite fragrances. It’s sweet, spicy and enveloping. I can clearly smell juicy peach, magnolia and a hint of cinnamon. The woody notes give the composition a creamy, slightly resinous character. It’s more of a vintage style scent, but full of charm and class. Unfortunately, it’s no longer as long lasting as it used to be, these days it stays on the skin for about 4–6 hours, and the projection reaches roughly an arm’s length.
