A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The apple hits with bright, almost artificial clarity—green and slightly tart—immediately joined by honeycomb absolute that feels tactile and sticky against your skin. Within seconds, bergamot arrives to provide citric relief, though it feels more like a garnish than a true top note force.
Honey settles into the composition with luxurious depth, whilst jasmine emerges with creamy undertones rather than the sharper floral character you might expect. Mahonial provides unexpected woody structure, and the entire accord becomes increasingly creamy and skin-like, the fragrance transforming from something sweetly fruity into something genuinely cuddly.
Heliotropin's almond-like warmth dominates, supported by soft musk and tonka bean that deepen the gourmand profile into something almost powdery. Hawthorn adds a whisper of tartness that prevents complete descent into saccharine mush, whilst the base slowly fades into a purely sweetness-and-skin composition that feels more intimate than present.
Trussardi's Via della Spiga is a fragrance that mistakes sweetness for sophistication, yet commits to its vision with such guileless enthusiasm that you almost forgive the excess. Opening with a tart apple and honeycomb absolute that reads more confectionery than fresh, it establishes itself as a decidedly gourmand proposition from the off—this is not a fragrance that pretends to be anything other than a dessert you can wear.
The heart where honey and jasmine converge is where things become genuinely interesting. Rather than the jasmine asserting itself with its typical indolic density, it instead curls around the honeyed warmth like cream swirled into hot tea, creating something almost edible. Mahonial—that woody-fruity compound—adds a subtle structural backbone, preventing the composition from collapsing entirely into saccharine territory. Rose enters quietly, softening rather than adding floral sharpness.
