Verde Respiro
Verde Respiro by Giardini di Toscana is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot and blackberry, moves into lavender, clary sage and cashmere wood and dries down to ambergris, vanilla, patchouli, iris and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Blackberry Dark, jammy and wine-like. Deeper than most berries.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
