Marcello named after protagonist in 1960’s film La Dolce Vita, an Italian film by Federico Fellini. La Dolce Vita or The Sweet Life tells a journey of Marcello; handsome philanderer journalist who wears tuxedo regularly in searching for love, happiness, and meaning of life. We transform the journey of this protagonist character into a scent. The main note is cognac; a type of finest brandy made from grapes fermented in oak barrels, chêne or oak gives the old woody odour while cigar and hay absolue expand the womaniser’s characteristic. Leather, oakmoss and mahogany give this Marcello an elegant Italian look. Meanwhile, cherry brandy, dark chocolate and black rose represent women who are drawn to this heartbreaker. Beware, this smooth-talking charmer who has mastered the art of finding, meeting, attracting and seducing, he is sharp-witted at work but irresistibly alluring at night. Fragrance Quick Story Ready to change your chypre game up, this is changing an entire sport. This is the next level. If you want to be better you do this. If people are going to dance around and get excited about men’s fragrances this is what you do it for. This plays so close to the skin it is amazing. I keep thinking it is going to over project and blow up and it doesn’t he just gets to use different ingredients. Away from the firminench, givency junk. There are synthetics but there not like 90 percent of the markets. Fragrance in my opinion compared to Perfumes Notes Chocolate glides off on opening spray took be four times to get this note clearly. This forms into a soft hecka of a nice accord that smells like one of the best drinks on earth. It is bubbly off the skin. Nothing super boozy could be mistaken for a mocktail with the rim brushed with a heavy refined lacquer. Smells like various citrus’ soft not bright like shavings of zest. This remains sweet and bubbly. Cognac barely came through more mahogany. This is a well built wearing experience. I love when notes are hard to pull out one by one. They form a pleasing accord that doesn’t stop. Maybe one noticeable transition as top notes fade off, but everything else just wears mixes in before fading out. For as many ingredients in this everything is faded together, there are dark notes in this and nothing gets out of hand. Masterfully blended and I over sprayed like crazy.
