Vermiglio

7.8

Essenzialmente Laura · 2015

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Essenzialmente Laura Vermiglio is a unisex scent that sets floral, fruity sweetness on a powdery, creamy base, with a light gourmand side that suits an easygoing everyday wear. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, winter follows, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for the office and evening. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Pink grapefruit, musk and vanilla come together here. The fruity brightness of the grapefruit is softened by the sweet, creamy vanilla, while the musk gives a powdery ground. A floral tone lightens the whole. Maison Aurier Euphorie and Jeroboam Insulo have a close profile.

Tonatto

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Tonatto Oltre is a fresh, aquatic men's fragrance, softened by green and floral touches. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it is mostly noticed by those close to the wearer. It reads as a calm, everyday scent with a clearly masculine bent. Stone pine opens cool and green, and lily of the valley carries it into a light floral heart. Seagrass and musk in the base keep the aquatic side going, with spicy and woody tones in the background and a clean, synthetic edge.

Solista

6.3

Tonatto · 2010

Fresh · Floral · Green

Tonatto Solista is a fresh, powdery white-floral perfume led by jasmine, tuberose and rose, made for women. The scent is built around white flowers from start to finish: jasmine and tuberose lead, with rose, violet, lily of the valley, gardenia and orange blossom rounding out the bouquet. Green and fruity touches keep the flowers fresh, while the sweet, creamy side softens them into a powdery warmth. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that picture is not firm. There is no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion, and with its soft floral character it reads distinctly feminine. Hermès Jour d'Hermès Gardénia and Harry Lehmann Gardenie have a close profile.

Oropuro

7.4

Tonatto · 2000

Sweet · Spicy · Oriental

Tonatto Oropuro is a unisex scent with a sweet, spicy and oriental character, deepened by leathery and animalic shades; it has been discontinued. Oropuro opens with amber and vanilla, so the scent starts warm and sweet from the first spray. The heart holds white musk and bergamot: the musk sets a soft, powdery ground, while the bergamot adds a slight brightness over the sweetness. In the base, animalic notes and civet take over, and the dry-down turns darker, smoky and leathery. Its profile is close to Junaid Perfumes Rasikh and Laboratorio Olfattivo Alambar.

Plaisir

6.7

Tonatto

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Tonatto Plaisir is a feminine scent where floral and fruity sweetness is warmed by spice, with a gourmand side that leads. It opens with orange and grapefruit giving a lively citrus lift, while rose sits behind that brightness as a soft floral base. In the heart, cinnamon and spices come forward and push the scent towards a warm, oriental character rather than a purely sweet one. The base of vanilla, amber and white musk dries down into a powdery, woody, gentle sweetness. There are too few votes on longevity, sillage and season to say how it wears; still, its structure suits those who enjoy warm, sweet perfumes. Kenzo Flower by Kenzo Le Parfum and Serge Lutens Louve have a close profile.

Tonatto · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Tonatto Notte a Taif is a fresh, floral and sweet women's perfume built around orange blossom, tuberose and vanilla. It opens with orange blossom and bergamot, which give a bright citrus freshness. The heart turns floral with tuberose, rose and jasmine, and the scent becomes powdery and creamy. In the base, vanilla and amber take over: the flowers sweeten and the perfume settles into a warm, rounded finish. Zara Sublime Epoque and Jennifer Lopez Eau de Glow have a close profile.
