My Land, from Trussardi was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is Alexandra Kosinski. It has the top notes of Bergamot and Mandarin Orange, middle notes of Calone, Lavender, and Violet, and base notes of Cashmere wood, Leather, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
I'm not really sure what to make of this one and haven't been for some time..hence only just getting around to reviewing My Land. It's interesting and not without merit but to me smells like wet wood, vetiver and a hint of violets, a combination which can sometimes conjure up images of wallpapering in a damp house on a wet and miserable Saturday afternoon...in the 1970's. I don't know why? I wasn't even born in the 70's but hey ho. I think My Land (especially the opening) reminds me of the He Wood range, crossed with the 90's aquatic calone and a musky hint of Narciso Rodriguez for Him but also with a leathery element to the dry down. Not bad credentials and for this reason I have to say, no wonder it's become a bit of a modern classic. The bottle is certainly a unique design not sure if it's in a 'laughing with' or 'At' sort of a way but I suppose wrapping a piece of leather around the flacon is something I've never seen before. I think I'm going to have to try it yet again because I can't seem to reach a satisfactory conclusion concerning My Land, it was a distinctly average performer too. I'm sure this will review will get an update in the future.
