Menditerrosa Nettuno is inspired by Neptune, the planet, and I supposed there is an outer space kind of feel to it, a metallic edge that’s kind of cool. This is like someone put silver roses into a marble bowl, crushed them up super fine, and then gave that perfume to a psychic on a spaceship. The result is a mix of the florals but also this ozonic feel that reminds me of blue perfumes, which also make me think of spaceships. There’s a sophisticated aloofness that feels like a force field, physical and emotional. Many iris perfumes take their coldness too far, veering into a territory that seems deliberately unapproachable, but this one is coolness done just right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This perfume has a fresh and slightly rooty iris, rose, and clean musk. It is perfect for spring or summer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shockingly this is a 25% concentration, but after many sprays (after 1 and 2 didn’t register), it feels light and airy because of the combination of the notes, instead of ever feeling heavy or dense. The brand is from Italy and I haven’t smelled their perfumes in person. I wouldn’t be surprised if this particular perfume by them gets overlooked because it doesn’t pack a punch right away and needs a real wearing to be enjoyed and understood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
