How aptly named! Teatro calls up images of a long, luxurious & politically incorrect mink coat with matching pillbox hat, long leather gloves and a dainty & glittering evening purse, all donned for an evening at... the theatre, of course.

This is a very dense, very busy fragrance with a snowy brightness in the opening, despite the fruity notes. I suppose that's the aldehydes. In the heart I find that the carnation, tuberose and rose are made a bit sickly/cloying by the honey but not in an old-fashioned way - more like a crystal bowl filled with expensive potpourri - one doesn't push one's nose into the bowl but instead enjoys the way it scents the room it's in.

The drydown is more like the encore after a standing ovation. Wow! Oakmoss & incense made even more sultry by amber, patchouli and benzoin with vetiver and civet combining to provide the sharp & bitter jolt that pulls all of this together. Surely, not just anyone can wear this... I'll wait for a cold evening, though, and see if I can.

It's on the heavier side, kind of old-lady for me it reminds me of a bedroom in an old cabin mansion in which an upper-class woman once lived.

This is very sexy when it has a chance to dry down; I didn't really like it at first. If you enjoy fragrances like Fendi, then this is one to try.
