It's funny how the little things in life can bring so much joy. Nothing is more appealing than the fresh, unsullied, pure, high thread count, Egyptian cotton sheets of an unreviewed perfume, right here on Fragrantica. So I kinda wish I could pierce this silence with a more enthusiastic review. After all, I love the Talismans line and this delivers more of the same in terms of quality and inherent likeability without being too safe. The opening is a powdery, mint tinged geranium, dry but not arrid and with a pinch of earth to it. This then mutates into a cleaner more perfumed, airy feeling of roses but still with that bulgarian/turkish earth to it, this is not a sweet rose at all. It's the kind of rose that has a slight melancholy and touch of decay to it but it's generally of the more metallic and watery PEA/rosewater type of feeling as if imparted into this fragrance like the botanicals in gin. I detect a lemony citrus too and maybe some olibanum or mastic? Throughout the feeling is of a seabreeze but non of the usual cliches, I don't even what to say it's 'salty' or 'ozonic' but seems to capture those vibes. I wanna say ambergris, because this has a ghostly, spectre like presence. Talento starts out a bit lack lustre for me but in the end, there's actually lots to say about it because it's very evocative, seeming a bit stark and cold to begin with, but warming up, and revealing it's various layers very nicely indeed. So the major elements in here and they are all very complementary are citrus, geranium, mint, rose, metallic, airy and marine. I don't get the jawdropping price of this one? However the general pricing of Menditorossa is very reasonable considering the presentation of the bottles and the state of the current niche climate. It's growing and growing on me, if this sounds appealing to you then check it out. I know that Rose and geranium is a classic combo but I can't actually think of many perfumes that smell like this off the top of my head? I'm enjoying the wear today for sure.
