Pompei Garden

Pompei Garden by Giardino Benessere, composed by Paolo Terenzi and released in 2016, is a spicy, sweet floral with a green streak. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, most also find it spicy and sweet, and more than half green; a minority notice amber or citrus.

The note list is long and unstructured. Fruit opens it: pineapple and apple give a juicy sweetness, with grapefruit leaf adding a bitter green edge. Cardamom gives an aromatic spice, and cumin a warm, earthy note that is unusual in a floral and gives the scent its character. The heart is full of white flowers, tuberose and gardenia among them, creamy and heady. Tonka bean and oakmoss form a sweet, mossy base.

Pompei Garden is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The heady flowers and spice suggest warm evenings rather than office mornings, and it suits someone who enjoys a lush, complex floral with some strangeness in it. It is sold in a 100 ml bottle.
