Mystical Water

Mystical Water opens bright and bouncy with lemon, bergamot, a touch of jasmine and a generous burst of sweet fruits - the juicy overture of Sospiro Erba Pura Magica. What sets the Magica apart is the warmth underneath, and Perfume Parlour follows suit with a rich caramel, amber and musk base rounded out by cedar and a balsamic touch. The result is fruity-sweet up top, cosy and gourmand below. Against the original it reads simpler and skin-closer - the fruit a little more candied, the caramel less luxurious, and projection more reserved where the Magica is known for bold sillage and 10-plus-hour longevity. Performance here is moderate. A flirtatious, affordable fruity-caramel scent that carries from warm-weather days into evenings.
