Aqua, pine, sandalwood, metallic note, slight table salt, sea spray, and fir.
Mostly like a sea spray, mildly sour and rancid.
Nothing so special about it other than being soft and skin close which makes it kind of good of you like to be around someone who dislikes fragrances.
Maria Candida Gentile fragrances aren’t meant to be groundbreaking, and that’s quite obvious from her creations as all her fragrances have that common factors which are soft, safe, and skin close. In my opinion, the safe and common are the major factors of her fragrances. I believe she is quite afraid to hit the box to get out of the safe zone OR maybe she’s not a world adventurer! A first rule of thumb for an artist is to see the world, the different culture, the civilizations, and then a ray of inspiration will hit you, fill your body with ease, and make you realize what you’ve been missing all your life!
I can’t lie that i wasn’t excited to sample MCG fragrances as they were quite predictable and overly common and safe to my taste! was trying to get deep into it but unfortunately no use! anyways, i think after all it’s her choice.

The first impression that I get is walking on a sandy beach, the salty breeze is in my tangled hair and the wind is blowing gently from the sea. I am not particularly fond of aquatic scents, still, this one to me is impersonating the freedom of the summer, the fresh air you breathe on an early morning. I will definetely reach for Finisterre even when the summer is over, to reminiscence the sunny days

This is actually awesome! Totally unwearable in my opinion, but awesome in so many ways!
I understand that some people could find this repulsing – it’s really edible, but edible like the stuff only few people appreciate in their dishes.
“Finisterre” is a salty scent that’s all about aromatics, the algae, weeds and less about the actual breezy, fresh aspects of the sea.
“Finisterre” has some really herbal, almost vegetable like qualities (think of celery and parsley) mixed together with the unmistakable smell of freshly caught fishes. It actually reminds me of some foods my dad used to make.
It’s not bad, it’s just not something people could find generally as something nice. I can’t imagine wearing this and I did get some weird comments while sampling, so it’s no pleasing to others.
Nevertheless – worth a try due to expierence.
Very low sillage, but lasted some 10+ hours.

I’m a huge fan of Maria Candida Gentile’s work but, unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about Finisterre. The fragrance moves in similar territories of, say, I Profumi Del Forte Tirrenico (the sandalwood + marine combo), Profumum Acqua Di Sale (the aromatic quality) or, to a lesser extent, Salina by Laboratorio Olfattivo (the pine + aquatic notes combo). A sharp-ish and very powerful blend of watery aromachemicals and woods with piney facets and immortelle. The infamous *bilge* note which is typical of these kind of fragrances, is amped up to the maximum and the thickness of the immortelle and woods, doesn’t help to smooth down Finisterre’s penetrating power.
Now, I’m not *particularly* averse to aquatic notes in perfumery (while I still can’t say I’m particularly fond of them either) but this is really too much to my tastes. With that said, if you like the genre, give this a chance as it’s rapidly becoming a favorite amongst fans of this type of comps.
Massive projection and exhausting lasting power.
