Aurelia by Giardino Benessere is a dry, herbal spice with an earthy streak, released in 2017. Nutmeg, cardamom and thyme open it, with bergamot keeping the top bright. The heart turns woody and dusty: cedar, guaiac wood, artemisia and a note of bare earth. Patchouli and a very unusual asphalt note anchor the base. Men and women both reach for it, mostly people who like their scents aromatic rather than sweet. Voters wear it in autumn and spring, by day or in the evening. Longevity votes lean long-lasting, while the sillage vote is clearly moderate, so it stays civil in an office. A 3ml decant gives you a week to decide whether that asphalt note wins you over, long before a full bottle is on the table.
