A wonderful day in Florence.
I wake up, turn on the espresso machine and jump in the shower. Refreshed and alert, I take my "Marzocco (Extrait de Parfum) | Roberto Ugolini" out of my suitcase and start the day with 3 sprays.

Let me try to put the opening of this wonderful fragrance into words:
Bergamot is complemented by tangy lemon and mandarin, and an aroma reminiscent of Italian lemon sorbet unfolds.
This tangy lightness is then joined relatively quickly by creamy vanilla, which manages to caress the citrus fruits with a pleasant, creamy coating.
After the initial "effervescence" of the Italian lion has subsided somewhat, the whole thing takes on a pleasant sweetness and the woody base also comes through subtly.

After spending half the day on the beach, I only notice the scent close to my skin. Thank goodness I filled up a travel bottle - 2 quick sprays and the rest of the day is saved! In my opinion, perfectly fine for a summery citrus fragrance.

In conclusion, all that remains for me to say is that "Marzocco (Extrait de Parfum) | Roberto Ugolini" is an olfactory masterpiece in my eyes, which always manages to take me back for a brief moment to the first Italian vacations of my childhood.
Simply a dream.

I ordered a 5ml bottle of this fragrance, sprayed it on for the first time on one of the first hot, sunny days and was blown away.

At first, I only noticed citrusy notes, mainly grapefruit and a little lemon. Very fresh and bitter, but a sweetness comes very quickly. For me, the floral notes and ginger come first.
After a while, the melon and mango become noticeable and the fragrance is no longer as 'bitter' as at the beginning, but retains the grapefruit/citrus note very well.
In the drydown, I think the lavender is also clearly there, but I also notice slight woody notes and I think it's all together a really successful fragrance composition.

H/S is pretty good for a summery, citrusy perfume, but to really stand out from the crowd, you should spray it again and again, especially if you like this fresh note.

All in all, an above-average summer fragrance and definitely a recommendation from me for anyone who likes fresh, citrusy scents! I would also say that it is a rather unusual fragrance that you don't smell like this, or similar, on every corner!

To me, Orange Flamingo smells like an orange tree in a bottle with a freshness kick. Especially at the beginning, it gives me almost only orange notes or this typical 'orange zest smell'. In the drydown, I find that the 'fabric softener vibe' that many people talk about comes into its own.
What I also find very pleasant is that the citrus notes, in my opinion, seem extremely natural and give me the feeling of standing in a meadow full of orange trees, which is the best way to describe it. The bergamot is also clearly there, but I think the main focus here is on the orange or orange blossom.

The projection and longevity of the fragrance are amazing, but I don't think it's too overpowering. I think this is also because the orange comes across so naturally here in my opinion.
For me, it's really my absolute favorite for everyday wear on hot days at the moment!
