Mendittorosa Sirio Extrait de Parfum balances bright florals with syruppy fruits and rich musks floating on a gourmand base of vanilla and amber. The opening oozes with booze emanating from molten, jammy rhubarb. The perfume\u00b4s floral-fruit heart is like an Elizabethan delight; a refreshingly tart compote featuring rose, peony and plum, which pairs perfectly with a voluptuous vanilla custard note. The ambrosial booziness of ripe fruits and sweet white musk gradually subdues as a protective cloak of guaiac wood, cashmeran, vanilla and amber coalesce into a comforting base. The rich, almost milky drydown prolongs the mysterious carnal essence of Sirio and makes it smell almost good enough to eat.<\/p>\n
