Italiano Vivo

Italiano Vivo is a crisp, juicy fruity floral with a surprising dry woodiness that sets it apart from typical gourmands. The opening features a bright, slightly sour raspberry tempered by pink pepper and geranium, creating an energetic and refreshingly tart impression. As it settles, the scent evolves into a soft, musky floral with a pronounced rose-peony interplay, underpinned by cedar and vanilla, which adds depth and a subtle svelteness. Many find it initially sharp or overwhelming, but with time on the skin, the fruity tartness mellowed and the drydown reveals a clean, slightly sweet, earthy-nuanced character that feels both wearable and distinctive. It projects moderately to strongly and lasts well on skin and clothing, though longevity is notably better on fabric. Perfume enthusiasts appreciate its unique balance of freshness and complexity, likening it to brighter, cleaner variations of Dior Absolutely Blooming or Lancôme Midnight Rose — without the synthetic or cloying aspects. It works best as a daytime or warm-weather scent and is especially appreciated by those seeking a free-spirited, feminine fragrance with a subtle wood-floral base that avoids being overly sweet or aggressive.
