G Gigli by Romeo Gigli

Opens overly sweet for me-as a floral with a pineapple top note, the hyacinth, violet and pineapple together just open strong-not with the charecteristic freshness or juiciness of a good floral fruity-or the discretion of the fruit in an oriental blend-it's syrupy and herbal at the same time, with tarragon, and "green notes"....Lemon blends into the scent, but totally under the rule of pineapple. Bergamot is present, but very indisinct, as the opening would be much better if it could manage to have a similar overall scent but bitter and not sticky sweet and slightly heavy.

As the top notes fade, the fragrance improves immensely though-it becomes a unique full-bodied floral with a clear green quality, and I believe cyclamen takes centerstage, with a pinch of all of the other flowers.The scent dries down to a very floral slightly green powderiness, with a subtle woodiness-the comparison to the drydown of She Wood is a good comparison-but it's not a replica at all. The drydown is very much a shadow of the heart notes, very pleasant-a change from the heart of the composition, but keeping the essence. I like it as a straightforward floral-but I would love to find a scent like this with better topnotes-and maybe less pineapple :)

If you love cherry's in a perfume, this one is THE ABSOLUTE MUST!!! It is not listed as an ingredient, put is DEFINITELY IS! I have the ingredient list in one of my books and it is mentoined there and for me THE MOST dominant note..

G Gigli is a quite unusual floral scent (as someone else already pointed out earlier)- not too sweet . I like it though would not wear it because it does not fit with my skin chemistry. In the beginning it is a bit strong. My impression when I smelled this the first time was: this smells like inside a flowershop.

Just got this in the mail today. I love it so far and can't stop re-applying to get the top notes. You do get Pineapple, floral surges and a little Violette Which quickly mixes with a green herb smell; that is very nice and mellow mixed with the ultra happy flowers. the mid notes on me is a lot of cedar and spicy dry notes with the reapplication it almost turns into a borderline unisex fragrance. Then calms down again into something green with dusty musk's and sandalwood with the barest hint of something sweet and spicy. Wow what a purchase am very happy with it don't know how often I will wear it out but how interesting. Something similar to the mid to base notes would be She wood by Dsquared.(EDIT) As it does also conger the smell of sweet sap poring from the fresh cut of a young tree. Lasted around 5 hours on my skin.

G Gigli is an unusual floral. The top note of pineapple is totally muted by the violet and hiacynth which settles into a sweet bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, rose and jasmine.The usually sharp lemon and bergamot are totally in balance with this array of florals. It has a soft drydown with a powdery hint of sandalwood and musk. An ethereal scent worthy of any self respecting elf or faerie.
