Cittá Di Kyoto is a perfume made by SM Novella, one of the oldest pharmacies in the world, that blends Italian and Japanese scents and sensibilities. It was released to commemorate the 40th anniversary (in 2005) of the twining of Florence and Kyoto, which are considered to be sister cities. The fragrance is very complex, with a floral head of jasmine, hawthorne and ylang-ylang, followed by fruit and iris notes, and closed with a musky, woodsy undertone, which lingers on the skin. The goal of the scent is to be sweet and sensual, and everyday perfume for some and an elegant evening fragrance for others. Price: $85/100mL.

I presented it to my wife. I hope she was glad, because she didn't express any feelings

The head note is with fresh, witty and flowered accents of jasmine, hyacinth, rose, hawthorn and ylang-ylang, with citrus shades of bergamot and orange.

I think I’m going to use the term “plain vaniglia” from now on. Thanks for the review. It doesn’t sound like moi (i say, channeling miss piggy). Have you visited their cosy little pharmacy? I haven’t, but family friends brought me the Cipro. It is astringent and has a certain something, though that something reminds me in its topnotes of the cleanser used at my nursery school, esp in combination with spaghettios.
Where is your January with its branches and austerity?
