Almafolia
Almafolia by Giardini di Toscana is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with tuberose, sweet orange and peach, moves into tuberose, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, coconut and rosewood and dries down to amber, vanilla, benzoin and white musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Rosewood Soft, rosy wood. Gentle and slightly floral.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
