There’s something cheap, thrifty and throwaway about this fruited musk perfume but it’s somehow elevated to minimalist, elegant, and deliberate by the fact I love this brand. So I’m disclaiming there with a bit of admission to confirmation bias Truly santa and truly Italian Angeli has a very clean æsthetic, soapy, white musks driving the mid. The top consists of a very understated melon note blending into a suitably clean and tidy floral accord, can’t really get the exotic edge of jasmine or ylang from this, smells quite the moist, yet aerated ‘white’ floral. I like this balance I think the melon works with the floral works with the musks, it’s a holy trinity, a fragrant SOP which just works and flows perfectly. I like it. Great for spring and summer, fresh and unlikely to offend anyone, they’ll probably just think you smell like you’ve had a wash, which not a bad thing at all.
