It simply sounds wonderfully Italian: Mia Alba Mistica and Dolcetto Romano from Fabbrica della Musa exude Mediterranean flair in a class of its own just by reading them and I’m sure that this is also reflected in the olfactory experience. I would like to briefly remind you of my last article Fabbrica della Musa – Italian Dolce Vita, in which I was able to present the brand and the first two creations Via Velluto and Magia Maestrale to you.
Mia Alba Mistica – Mysterious dawn
Mia Alba Mistica revolves around the dawn in Tuscany, when the sun slowly rises over the hilly landscape and the warmth of the sun intensifies the scent of nature. A new page is turned, a new day brings with it adventures and experiences that can change and enrich life.
This is the moment of the day when everything is a new beginning of unlimited possibilities, the path to a new venture. An endless call for dreamers seeking a happier life. Be Mia Alba Mistica … be Fabbrica della Musa!
As already mentioned, the well-known perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani is behind the creations of Fabbrica della Musa, the “work of the muse”, as the brand is called in German. For Mia Alba Mistica, Merati-Kashani combined the scents of mandarin, orange, peach, neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine, lavender, sage, patchouli, cedarwood and nutmeg.
Mia Alba Mistica opens light and airy thanks to the tangy, tart notes of a juicy mandarin, which combine with velvety peach nuances and the greenish-soft orange facets of neroli. They are soon joined by the milky creaminess of ylang-ylang and jasmine, which form a wonderful floral backdrop. Lavender and sage bring herbaceous, green and fresh notes into play, while nutmeg adds spicy, pungent accents. The composition is rounded off with clean cedarwood.
Mia Alba Mistica is a delicately fruity, light mix of bright flowers, velvety fruits and fresh citrus fruits, bedded on light woods and a tart herbaceousness. Very summery, carefree, casual and relaxed. The perfect everyday and office fragrance for the warmer months of the year. ☀️
Dolcetto Romano – Fabbrica della Musa
The masculine counterpart of today’s fragrance pair is Dolcetto Romano. At first glance, the fragrance already reveals a reference to “dolce”, i.e. sweet. But Dolcetto is actually the name of a red wine or a grape variety that is mainly grown in Piedmont. We will find out how sweet the creation actually is in a moment. The red wine in question is not a sweet wine and the origin of the word Dolcetto is also apparently unclear. The eau de parfum is composed of the ingredients ginger, bergamot, lily, violet, jasmine, Atlas cedarwood, caramel, gourmand notes, bourbon vanilla and patchouli, which are said to create a seductive, warm and calming fragrance.
Dolcetto Romano is the most intense fragrance in this collection to date, although it is also clear and transparent. The composition reveals lovely woody and citrusy-spicy nuances. Bergamot and ginger underline each other in their fresh, tangy, spicy notes, accompanied by powdery, creamy flowers. The cedar wood brings warmth and depth to the creation, accompanied by soft, earthy patchouli, while a velvety sweetness gradually spreads in Dolcetto Romano, which carries caramel-vanilla accents.
This eau de parfum should not just be reserved for men, because I personally feel that the composition is definitely unisex. Tart, spicy, woody, a little earthy and a pinch of vanilla caramel with praline vibes on top. Overall, however, the sweetness of the creation is very limited. We are not dealing with an olfactory seal-puller here, but with a profound and at the same time transparent fragrance that – like all other eaux de parfum tested by the brand – is suitable for every occasion and every season.
