Fuoco Infernale
by Linari
Fuoco Infernale is a deeply complex, woody-scented fragrance that evokes the imagery of a forest after a fire—smoky, earthy, and rich with resinous depth. It opens with sharp, dark notes of birch tar, cinnamon, and marjoram, creating a bitter, slightly spicy introduction that feels both intense and natural. As it settles, the fragrance softens into a layered blend of amber, resin, and balsamic wood, with subtle tonka bean and musk adding a warm, powdery softness. The interplay between smoky, woody, and incense-like accords gives it a distinct aristocratic character, reminiscent of aged woods and distant incense, making it feel timeless and refined. While many note its initial sharpness and powerful sillage, the longevity is moderate—some find it fades quickly, while others praise its subtle but persistent presence, especially during evening wear.
Pros
- +The fragrance creates a deeply atmospheric, evocative experience, subtly reminiscent of old wood, smoke, and incense.

Cons
