Description

Trussardi Python is a spicy oriental fragrance for women. Launched in 1999, this composition features mandarin and bergamot as top notes; dark chocolate, nutmeg, cardamom, rose, and jasmine in the heart; and sandalwood, vanilla, and benzoin in the base. The creation is signed by the perfumer who originally designed it.

It’s a perfume that passes without much fuss or glory (like so many other Trussardi scents), but damn, it smells so intoxicatingly good you feel like you’re floating in a cloud. In a word: narcotic. It’s a boozy, sexy opening typical of those oriental nineties classics, but the drydown hits you hard—it transforms unexpectedly into a delicious, intoxicating poultice, a beautiful blend of balsamic, hot, spicy, and warm notes, as if mixing Organza, Samsara, Nu, and Lancôme’s Aroma Calm in one pot. Python truly smells like a snake, specifically an early 2000s serpent that’s ambiguous and hypersexual. There’s a dark chocolate here that lacks the childish sweetness of artificial chocolate laced with butter and additives, nor the dusty, old tone of natural cocoa. This chocolate is dense and full-bodied, not sweet at all; it tastes like colored crayon waxes with an almost animalistic, hallucinogenic aftertaste that’s heavy and bitter. The blend of cardamom, chocolate, and sandalwood makes this Python both diabolical and serene. Add a pinch of nutmeg with its spicy sweetness, and you’ll faint from delight 🙂 It would smell like the Emmanuelle Seigner of The Ninth Gate: androgynous and dangerous, atavistic and diabolical, unable to repress her sexual urges but with that arrogance and pride in the gaze of those who know they aren’t just another face in the crowd… I like to think it would be the perfect perfume if someone had decided to launch a unisex flanker for Poison back in the early 2000s. Out of production and expensive, plus it must have had limited runs since there aren’t many bottles around; if you find it, it’s a real black swan, unknown to God compared to more famous scents. One of Trussardi’s best releases alongside Donna.
