Not really original, smells like something else I can’t put a finger on. It’s not bad but it’s old fashioned in a way I don’t love. It’s not dramatic like a classic oriental or chyphre. spicy with slightly stifling amber and floral.
Gyncfroboff – :
Maria Christofilis’ Missive 15 is a soft, feminine woody fragrance with a hint of sweetness and a touch of spice.
It opens with a dry papery papyrus and a touch of saffron over soft woods humming in the background. The citrus notes are quiet, which is a plus for those avoiding the current trend of aggressive bergamot top notes. Missive 15 is well-blended, and the progression from the top to bottom is smooth and easy. Honeyed florals bloom in the heart, leading to a light woody balsamic finish.
Missive 15 stays soft and skin-close throughout. It is easy, comfortable, feminine. Sometimes, that’s just what you need.
