Okay, this is one of those olfactory experiences that in hindsight makes sense, not that it didn't at the time but seeing who the perfumer is, comparisons it makes complete sense now. So when reaching for my first sniff of Linari I found the other bottles, intimidating and illegible with all those patterns on and such so I arrived at Notte Bianca because it was the only one I could read clearly, without squinting my eyes and screwing my face up. This was on a recent trip to Amsterdam and smelling this among other things, I did think would be hugely memorable but has remained in my olfactory data banks. I liked the bright, modern citrus and spices in the opening and the bare, starkness of it's aroma chemical heart, giving that cashmere and vetiver feeling. Now that I know it's a Mark Buxton composition I'm like..."Of course it is!" and as much as I like stuff like Bal d'Afrique, I'm just not blown away by them and having only flippantly tried this on my wrist once I couldn't commit to it. Also oddly enough on the same Amsterdam trip I actually bagged Vetiver Tonka from the Hermesence line, which has the most 'this perfume reminds me of votes' on here. Spooky. Perhaps I had meant to get this and didn't? I found the opening of Notte Bianca to have more sparkle a touch less heft of fougere warmth, but sure they share the same woody, cashmere heart.
