Polvere Felice

I was bracing for another generic floral, but this one throws a curveball from the first spritz. It sits close to the skin and shifts subtly over a few hours, which makes it feel like a secret only I know about.

Smells like nothing else in my collection, which is exactly what I wanted from a niche pick. The dry-down is the part I keep coming back to, it lasts a good few hours on my skin without turning cloying.

I was honestly nervous blind-buying a niche fragrance, but this one is dangerously wearable; the dry-down is smooth and lasts through a full workday without shouting. It’s the kind of scent that makes you want to sniff your own wrist on the train.
