My initial reaction to the opening was one of surprise because it wasn't quite what I'd expected...not sure what it was that I'd anticipated but hey? Maybe it was the bottle design which I think is really cool. It's kinda chunky, heavy, compact and grenade like...maybe a futuristic angular tear gas but reminds me of V&R Spicebomb in any case. So back to what it smells like...unique is what! It's genuine complex and unexpected because I've found other Ferragamo's I've tried disappointingly ordinary and generic at best! This one is different though it opens with a very gentle musky, fruity mandarin vibe which then quickly reveals some spices, cardamom being the most prominent. I definitely detected the saffron in here although its delicate I always seem to pick up on it. No surprises in the dry down just standard really. It's a difficult one to call as the notes are not easily deciphered but you know what that means? Well it can mean two polar opposite things....Genius or poorly conceived. Luckily in this case it is the former. It's strange because my girlfriend loved it at first and if I'm honest so did I. Despite this I have a weird feeling that I could grow to become indifferent about it or just barely wear it. More suited to spring and summer I'd say. Attimo is elegant stuff well put together and certainly the best thing I've tried from this designer.
