Angeli di Firenze Angels of Florence

Angeli di Firenze occupies that rare middle ground between Renaissance fresco and contemporary minimalism—a fragrance that feels both historically rooted and deliberately restrained. The opening clash of peach and orange announces itself with the brightness of Florentine summer light, yet there's an immediate restraint here that distinguishes it from more bombastic citrus fragrances. Within minutes, jasmine emerges not as a heady tuberose-adjacent presence but as something considerably greener, almost herbal in its transparency—it's pushed towards the verdant side by those marine notes, which inject a subtle saline quality that prevents the floral heart from becoming saccharine.

The blackcurrant is the unexpected pivot point. Rather than adding jamminess, it provides an astringent counterweight to the jasmine, creating a tense, almost sparkling interaction between the green florals and dark fruit. This is where the 64% green accord becomes apparent: there's something almost botanical about the composition, as if you're smelling a pressed flower arrangement rather than a conventional perfume.
