Stra-Vivara, from Emilio Pucci was released in 1970. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Amaretto, Bergamot, and Galbanum, middle notes of Jasmine, Narcissus, and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Iris, Patchouli, and Vetiver.
Mental notes for the time being. -notes list is complete rubbish; this is an animalic leather. -Bandit is the closest relative. I can also imagine that the regular Vivara and the Eau Fraîche are close to Aliage. -again, these notes are absolutely 0% accurate. I guess they go for one of the latest Vivara’s from around a decade ago. -search for it! -the notes for Signor Vivara are what I smell here. Definitely picking up a lot of galbanum and artemisia in the opening. This is GREEN and BITTER just like I like it. A lot of leather too, isobutyl leather. Florals hardly, if any. The animalic facet could be castoreum and/or costus, I don’t get that powdered savon feel of civet but more of an oily scalp feel. There could be some carnation or clove hiding in there. I’d love for the floral notes to come through. Later wearings might show them. Smells impeccably fresh and well preserved. 120ml edt reviewed. Massive oakmoss richness all throughout its evolution. A chypre for the Côte d’Azur goers. 70’s beach glamour.
