  I’d give my arm to a horde of suit-and-tie professionals who would literally die for these Officina creations. Thanks to a discovery set, I’m trying them all and notice a very vintage seriousness in the collection: old-school dressing tables, dusty offices, the 1940s, film noir—none of which suit me at all, but I get where this exercise comes from. They evoke Christmas days with grandparents, lottery morning, sweet wines in barrels… penetrating and melancholy scents that I’m sure have fans among notaries, lawyers, and responsible businessmen. They’ll truly enjoy this pure nostalgia sampler, drowning in memories of thick wool suits, dusty tweeds, and austere cold winters. This Legnoso opens with a slap of liquor, moves to a fireplace aftertaste that transforms into a familiar, warm, and stern sandalwood. It doesn’t say anything particularly novel to me: I sense it as eminently masculine and very present, with a hint of distant incense. It smells like other decades and I can’t wear it; I don’t feel that spark. On skin, it clings like a monster, but on skin it feels much more tamed and soft—still, no match for me.
