Maffia by Nina Lamaison

A total beast. The promised notes are exactly what you smell, and they do so with an intensity that leaves you breathless. Upon trying it, my reaction was instant: “I have to have this, I need it in my life!”. It’s not about collecting rare bottles, but because I discovered a scent that conquered me, and in seconds, I wanted to become that aroma. I recommend it 100%. It’s one of those fragrances perfume lovers search for: the one that leaves you speechless and surprises you in the best way.

It’s much more than a perfume; it’s a work of art before you even press the atomizer. It smells sweet and creamy, with a touch of the finest liquors. It’s an elixir. The longevity is long and sufficient; the trail lasts between 2 and 3 hours at over a meter, leaving a mark in every room. It’s friendly and addictive. Ideal for special occasions and, in my opinion, for cool climates. Along with the perfume came a sample of the upcoming launch, Status Quo. All their work is impeccable and superior. Highly recommended, their perfumes are a must for collectors.

Out of all the fragrances I own, I often thought none surpassed the others… until I met Maffia. Yesterday I received this extract, and as soon as I tested it, everything I thought about the others faded into the background. For me, Maffia is pure elegance and the love, work, and effort of its creator. It’s exquisite, I love it, and as they say below (and I agree 100%), it’s a work of art. In Argentina, we take pride in having great references in everything: sports, music, medicine, art. Let the award Nina won last year be the start for her to become a world legend in perfumery. Congratulations! P.S. Wait for Status Quo, another gem from Nina that I hope to see soon.

I asked Mauricio Carbajal what quality means in a perfume, and he said it’s when the notes are perfectly executed. Mafia is exactly that: a tiramisu soaked in whisky with a smoky wood scent, like a pipe in action. It’s a highly personal extrait that screams ‘I’m here,’ perfect for fall, winter, or crisp days. The trail lasts about a meter for an hour and a half, and with 6 to 8 sprays, the longevity hits 10 to 12 hours, though it does fade in bursts occasionally. Definitely a unique perfume to own. Nina, a genius. Warm regards from Argentina.

I own this perfume; it’s very rich and very long-lasting, but on my skin it comes off very masculine, perhaps because I’m not used to unisex scents. But in my opinion, I think it adapts and looks much better on men.
