Zefiro is to me one of the most sacred and mystic scents from their collection, its a deep, yet light liturgic incense that reppresents a huge cattedral scent, the main Incense, Resin and Cardamom are vertically integrated as one, and it comes off as a very serious churchy scents, when i say Churcy, it really is deep and serious composition that makes the incense shine with the powdery and airy notes of the resins, in the middle you can start to feel the beautiful Cinnamon wich i love, and gives the scent a even more refined note, this particular middle part goes away from the church and explores the mistique and asian side of the scent, even thought gets some inspiration from an asian combination, it always stays regal and religious and very Italian.

I don't want that you think is too much religious, because this is more regal and wearable than a typical religious theme, lets say that is the way a churchy scent should be done to be more wearable than anything else. i find it very elegant and refined. This surely isn't for everyone tbh, but is something that works so well on the skin.I like Zefiro, because all the notes used are fairly difficult to manage, yet works very well, there is also a beautiful direct sillage that is coming more by the wear. it feels like is airy and when you think its gone, it comes back and hugs you and remind you of its power. The sandalwood drydown is absolutely epic, this is one of my favorite sandalwoods / incense combo ever on a scent, because it uses the same accord i found in a very expensive attar, impressive stuff.
