Missoni Colori - Missoni Gianduia (for women)

frangipani

I have just bought this unsniffed and have made a huge mistake doing so. This has a bit of a sourness about it that never goes away plus I feel it smells a bit manly. I guess I was expecting something like spicy nutella because of the description of a rich sweet hazelnut chocolate. Oh well I should learn that to one person a perfume is heaven and to another is.....

This is a true Gourmand!! Italians worldwide have always had a love affair with Gianduia(rich sweet hazelnut chocolate). So it doesn't surprise me at all that they would want to not only eat it but bathe, shower and smell like it.
The bottle is very minimalist in design ,only showing a clear amber liquid in its oval flask. As soon as you open the bottle you are overpowered by the scent of chocolate. Close your eyes and you can see yourself walking into an Italian Pasticceria (pastry shop) where there are pyramids of Gianduia chocolate bars and nougats unashamedly displayed on the counters like trophies. The aroma is sweet, hazelnutty and sugary.In the display cases in front of you are an assortement of delectable pastries, oozing creme anglais, dusted like snow with icing sugar and smothered in Gianduia coated chocolate cream.You possible cannot resist and buy at least 1/2 dozen different pastries and to top it all off at least 2 bars of this irresistable sweet.
All of this experience is now available in one simple bottle minus all the calories. Dab a little on the wrists but never on the hips......
