Oro e Miele by Giardini Di Toscana

The divine opening, a sunny, airy, sweet honey with even citrusy, floral undertones. Then it powders a bit, and I understand what other reviews say about the vintage touch. For me, it lost that clean honey quality and goes more toward a heliotrope that I don’t enjoy as much.

Commenting that any perfume is for “trained” noses is a snobbish comment. You consider yourself of a superior class and despise popular opinion. They should delete your comment. Just say whether you like it or not. I work in this world and it never occurred to me, or to anyone, to make those pretentious comments of superiority to appear of higher status. A perfume has never been something you have to train; we all know how to smell. Some perceive more nuances than others, but at the end of the day, for some it smells good and for some it doesn’t.

Exquisite, a delight, a pleasure to smell it, and hopefully I’ll smell like that soon. It’s marketed more for women, but as a man I use it without any qualms. It smells a lot like talc, sweetish, pleasant, you can notice the iris. My girlfriend loved it, but I think I’ll use it more, haha, I don’t know, it made me feel tender, I’d smell like that all day. It lasts a long time, obviously more on clothes. It got on my watch, and three weeks later you can still smell it. Of course, it no longer projects for at least a week. Highly recommended, obviously try it. After all, it’s a matter of taste.

I’d like to give it another chance someday, but it didn’t invite me to try it on skin. Mainly because I noticed a lot of talc and a more vintage smell, not to say of older people than me. Too serious, elegant, and powdery for me. Nothing modern. If you expect a gourmand of honey, coconut, and rose, you won’t find it here.

I really wanted to try this perfume since I’m constantly searching for the perfect honey scent. However, I was disappointed. In the opening, although the honey is more noticeable, I perceive a note like rubber or burnt gum that puts me off. I don’t know what it could be, I haven’t read other reviews describing the same thing, maybe my nose is already ruined. But every time I bring my wrist close, I get a headache. As the minutes pass, that artificial smell disappears and what remains is a very sweet and warm pastry, reminding me more of the drydown of Celeste than Bianco Latte, but with violet replaced by honey. It’s pleasant but it becomes cloying. As for longevity, it’s a beast. Based on what I’ve tried from this house, I consider it’s not for me; I feel it has personality but I haven’t found a perfume that makes me want to buy it. Except for Bianco Latte, which for me is the best gourmand that exists.

I had to order it in the discovery kit as soon as it came out. A powdery delight, talc with honey and vanilla. Soft and caressing with heliotrope. A safe purchase, in my opinion.

Oro e Miele is a perfume for trained noses. I love it… and so does everyone around me who has smelled it. It’s a honeyed fragrance, without the honey note necessarily being the protagonist. I really appreciate the floral part in the top, it’s creamy with the rose, powdery from the heliotrope and then it has a special softness thanks to the almond. The rose itself or alone doesn’t stand out as a flower. It’s a blend of nuances. The coconut is there but it’s not the typical aroma of cream or beach lotion. However, it brings its exoticism to the essence. Its projection is enormous, leaving a trail (a perfumed veil) even when you move from one place to another, in a room or a salon. It’s incredibly dense, appreciable, long-lasting. To my daughter equally, she confiscated it from me for a few weeks and told me that in her work, compliments are not lacking. Now it’s her ‘signature’ fragrance of the summer. It’s long-lasting, it stays more than eight hours on the skin. It’s incredibly attractive and I wouldn’t say for excessively hot days, but I use it for nighttime outings in summer– because I know I’ll turn heads, I’ll be well dressed with it and the best thing is I won’t need to reapply it. I’m aware that if you’re not a fan of its notes and chords, you won’t enjoy it as much as I do, who am a lover of honey and coconut, and the flowers involved; therefore, I recommend trying it before you jump in if you have doubts. Otherwise, it will be an excellent blind buy! For me, I repeat, this new fragrance is charming and it’s really worth it.
