La Fenice pour Homme is a violet-themed fresh scent that manages to smell natural and still have good performance. It carries aspects of both classic and modern fragrances.
Violet leaves abound here. Their fatty green smell mixes with aromatic basil and soft woods, and I detect a slightly powdery floral note that I associate with violet (flower) rather than the listed iris. I have seen this fragrance compared to Fahrenheit, but to my nose, La Fenice emphasizes different aspects of the violet leaf than Fahrenheit with its signature cucumber note, created by a good dose of Folione, which is absent in La Fenice.
Instead, La Fenice reminds me of another violet-themed fragrance marketed towards men: He Wood Ocean Wet Wood by DSquared2. In the opening it exhibits a strongly metallic note reminiscent of 212 Men. All in all, La Fenice clearly feels more mature than either of the two.
Somewhere in the drydown I seem to detect a remotely fruity quality, and it took me a while to figure out what it reminded me of. Then it finally hit me: Londinium by Molton Brown, a fragrance that intrigued me at first spray but then revealed a rather loud and artificial wild berries accord. Luckily, La Fenice has just the right dosage of berries to keep it elegant.
Best for spring, but could also be worn in fall and summer. Unlikely to offend, La Fenice could even be a crowd pleaser without being generic.
The blue-to-yellow bottle comes in an artfully decorated box. If you like the outside, you will be blown away by the inside.

Violet leaves at max.
This is dominant violet leaves with some basil, oranges, and apple blossoms. Like a mineral water with violets leaves.
Hmm… Meh!
