Florence at dusk: lily, leather, oakmoss
Spirito Fiorentino is the brand's portrait of Florence: a childhood evening on a tall tower above the city, a red moon, bonfire smoke and the leather tanneries along the Arno. Lily, jasmine, saffron and orange open it, ylang ylang, magnolia and amber follow, and oakmoss, sandalwood, birchwood and Tuscan leather settle underneath. The bottle is red, like the moon in the story.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Lily and jasmine open as a heady white-floral cloud, with orange adding a bright, juicy lift and saffron a dry, golden spice on top. The mix feels bright but not light: the flowers are strong, and the saffron stops them from turning soft or sugary.
The heart stays floral but gets creamier. Ylang ylang and magnolia round the edges, lily of the valley keeps a clean green-white thread, and amber begins to warm everything from below. This is the stretch where the flowers and the resin meet.
The base is where the story's tanneries appear: Tuscan leather, with oakmoss and birchwood giving a green, dark, slightly smoky frame. Sandalwood and musk smooth it, and amber adds warmth, so the leather feels worn-in rather than sharp.
Wearing it
Spirito Fiorentino has a strong floral-leather character and an extrait's density, so two or three sprays are plenty. It suits cooler months, evenings and dressed-up occasions, when florals with leather and moss feel at home. In strong summer warmth, use even less.
People who like white flowers but want them with some counterweight: leather, oakmoss and wood give the florals a backbone. It also suits those who enjoy perfumes with a sense of place, here an Italian city at dusk, and are happy to wear something with presence.
The brand's telling is unusually specific: a tower, a red moon, bonfire smoke and tannery air over the Arno. The Terenzi siblings write their perfumes from childhood memories, and here the red bottle echoes the moon of the story, so the idea carries from glass to scent.
Questions
It is Tuscan leather in the base, framed by oakmoss, birchwood and sandalwood, with musk and amber softening it. Expect a warm, dark, floral-leather character rather than a sharp one.
The opening and heart are floral, with lily, jasmine, ylang ylang and magnolia, but the base turns to leather, moss and wood. The brand places it in its Oriental family.
Autumn and winter evenings suit it best, as do dinners and occasions where you want presence. In warm weather, one or two sprays are enough.
It is a 100 ml bottle of Extrait de Parfum, a high concentration that stays close to the skin and is made to last.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
