Almafolia, from Giardini Di Toscana was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is Silvia Martinelli. It has the top notes of Orange, Peach, and Tuberose, middle notes of Coconut, Jasmine, Palisander Rosewood, Rose, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Amber, Benzoin, Musk, and Vanilla.
I should preface this by saying that I love tuberose, a good tuberose would rank among one of my favourite smells on the planet. Unfortunately, it’s a very temperamental note, one which very commonly turns sour and unpleasant in the wrong hands - such is the case here. Tuberose is at the front and centre of the scent, but it’s overly thick, dense and dry. Combined with the ylang and particularly the rosewood and vanilla, the end result is far too sweet and becomes sickly. Peach and a hint of coconut take this a step further until it becomes wholly unpleasant. Overall, I really dislike it. This simply doesn’t smell like a well put together fragrance - it comes across messy and abrasive, and quite frankly it smells cheap. This is not a tuberose I could ever bring myself to wear.
