Tirrenico Profumi del Forte for women and men

Unlike Juliette has a gun (the reviewer), who gets it after the top notes fade, I experience the basil/fennel/anise most prominently on the very top, and only really intensely for 30 minutes or so. After that dies down I'm left with an extraordinarily refreshing and realistic vegetal note. I can't pinpoint it myself, but others have described it to me variously as cucumber, watermelon, and citrus. I'd lean more toward the cucumber myself... actually, a green leafy cucumber salad. Sounds weird, I know, but it rocks!

I get a very Mediterranean feel from it. When I smell Tirrenico, I picture a Greek man sipping ouzo (or Italian sipping sambuca) on a breezy seaside patio, his white linen shirt halfway unbuttoned to indifferently reveal a chest-full of thick, luscious black hair (no pansy waxing here). The sea/ocean/water is vaguely evoked with this fragrance but I wouldn't call it aquatic. There's no calone, no "watery" note, no salty note here. I think the "aromatic" label assigned to it here at this website is more accurate.

This EdP projects well and lasts a solid eight hours on me. More proof this ain't a standard milquetoast aquatic.

Also of note: sampling this particular fragrance from a small vial with dipstick applicator gives a very different profile than full sprays from a bottle.

I have the same problem with this frag as "Juliette has a gun" (below) ... although the note that bothers me, and which I don't think is actually fennel as such, BUT actually Basil instead. Which actually does have quite a similar anisic quality to (equally anisic-like) fennel. ... It really does stand out and ruins the fragrance for me.
However "the sea" is still definitely there in the background. And if you're not sensitive to basil/anis you may get the luxury of it not bothering you and can therefore enjoy the hell out this seaside in a bottle.

It is fine. I have made this conclusion not at once. Tirrenico isn't one of the best sea fragrance it is the best sea fragrance.

Tirrenico is surprising and original, it could even be wonderful - except for its strong fennel-note which you perceive after the top-notes have gone. It may also be some kind of "parsley water-dropwort"-smell - but if you are not into drinking ouzo or eating fennel... if you like your perfumes to smell more abstract and less "vegetarian" - you will NOT enjoy this stuff. I wanted to like it so much... and it does have its moments- but the strong fennel-note ruins it all for me. The sea is there, you can smell the sand and the ocean.. but why did they put fennel in the heart-note??? Excellent staying-power!
5 out of 10 on my personal scale

I had a sample of Tirrenico a few monthes ago and, as I'm generally not into aquatic scents, I forgot it in a box. One day I was removing a few books from a shelf and I found the decant again so I gave it a try and I totally got suprised. Tirrenico is litterally amazing and stunning. No ozone bull***t here, but a real marine fragrance. IMO the only one really recalling the wet sand, marine wet woods and shells giving you the feeling of an exclusive, paradisiac beach. Great sillage and an amazing lasting power for an aquatic fragrance (10-12 hours). Another good point is the drydown. Many fragrances of the same genre tend to turn into a harsh chemical woody/amber. Tirrenico dries down to a clean musky/mossy base with fennel galore. Fresh throughout, pleasanly bizarre (the marine notes have a slightly stale vibe), anything but dull.

Obviously I immediately decided I had to have a bottle...and I got it!

Rating: 7/10

To guest_deea:you can find/buy it in Forte dei Marmi.La bottega dei Profumi,Piazza Marconi.

I have contrasting feeling about this perfume,as it is,indeed,a fragrance of opposing forces.There are some florals and
the Ozonic/Marine note;the later is really strong:I dont know what kind of molecule they had used,but she could result disturbing or worst on your skin.
This is a try before buy perfume IMHO.

How money is Tirrenico by Profumi del Forte?where is a shop with this parfums in Italia?thank you.

My most appreciated perfume. I had to wait for it for a long time, because it is hardly reachable in my country. Finally I got it in a little decanted flacon.
This is a very unique perfume, the most perfect sea fragrance. Wet sand and pebbles, water plants, light salty breeze. Only for daydreamers! :)
