Flormar
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The galbanum hits like a green slap, immediately met with spice that has an almost peppery heat; nutmeg and ginger create a warming prickle that clashes oddly with the fragrance's herbaceous top, suggesting something simultaneously culinary and threatening.
Cocoa arrives to soften nothing—instead it deepens the intrigue, layering beneath a jasmine that's distinctly funky, whilst rose and trungle create a floral heart that's wilted rather than dewy, increasingly gourmand but never comforting, the spice settling into a warm hum beneath it all.
Frankincense and sandalwood create an almost resinous, creamy finale where the fragrance becomes predominantly woody and faintly incense-like, all sweetness burned away, leaving only shadow and skin-warmth, though notably brief.
# Notte Fiorentina by Flormar
Notte Fiorentina arrives as a deeply unconventional proposal—a fragrance that treats florals as suspects rather than saints. Silvana Casoli has constructed something genuinely unsettling here: galbanum's green, almost petroleum-like bite collides immediately with warm nutmeg and ginger, creating an opening that feels deliberately off-kilter, like smelling a rose that's begun to ferment. The heart refuses prettiness entirely. Cocoa emerges as a rich, slightly bitter base for jasmine and rose, but these florals are rendered shadowy, almost septic—the trungle (an obscure floral accord) adding an indefinable sourness that prevents anything from settling into conventional beauty. What makes Notte Fiorentina genuinely magnetic is how it leans into its own strangeness rather than apologising for it. The frankincense in the base arrives like incense smoke fouling a boudoir, whilst sandalwood provides a creamy, nearly medicinal anchor. This is a fragrance for those who've grown bored by florals that genuflect to tradition. It's the scent of someone entering a darkened Florentine palazzo at midnight, catching the smell of decay beneath velvet furnishings, old perfume on aged skin, spiced wine and something indefinably wrong. Wear this when you want fragrance to provoke rather than please—when you're in the mood for a scent that questions its own existence.
