Description
Profumi del Forte one again honor Italy’s tradition and culture with its new collection of fragrances Colonia del Forte. The collection of three colognes is inspired by the personalities that have revolutionized Tuscany, Italy and the world. Those personalities are Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci. The fragrances are named after their birth dates. Colonia del Forte are fresh eaux de toilette that cradle freedom of thought and creativity, caress body and mind; fragrances inspired by brilliant people to bring us just a little closer to the remarkable advances brought about by these superlative intellects whose work marked real turning points in Italian cultural evolution.
1265 is a flowery and mossy fragrance. It opens with bergamot, lemon, petit grain and orange, with rose, lavender, heliotrope and neroli in the middle, and musk, rosemary and thyme in the dry down.
The colognes are available in bottles of 120 ml. The container for the perfume could not be other than a new, innovative bottle, specially created by Tuscan designers and craftsmen: a large bottle, 120 ml, so that the revolution can last over time, and is clearly inspired by the Tuscan towers, the crenellations, which have accompanied Profumi del Forte along their path of excellence right from the very beginning … The stopper, carved in Italian wood, is deliberately shaped like a pommel, and emphasizes the bold and sporting spirit of the collection.
Colonia del Forte 1265 was launched in 2011.

This is a nice warm weather, fresh spicy, sub-sweet, floral-aromatic and slightly citrusy scent suitable for both genders.
Dominant notes are a very strong heliotrope, sweet orange, vivid musk and lavender. The citruses are strong only at the opening then they fade out and the only that remains from them is a faint shadow. This is not a citrusy scent. There are also traces of cinnamon.
Easy to wear with great versatility and moderate performance overall. The projection could br better though.

This is my favourite from this line. It’s hard to describe the scent, but it smells like creamy almond with a light and airy feel to it. I don’t get much citrus (if anything at all), and the drydown is somewhat soapy, which I like.
Although it doesn’t seem strong when you smell your skin up close, it does project nicely. It also seems to last a very long time as I could still notice it after washing my hands several times. I actually thought I could smell it over 12 hours later to be honest.
I tried all three (1265, 1452, 1475) on my arms simultaneously (not recommended) and this is the one that stood out. It kind of cut through the others sillage wise.
Wonderful.
