her unique creations will be continued in production as Vero:s fragrances have to be experienced by
every true parfumista. As Christmas this year actually is white with snow and ca - 8 C degrees outside, the glowing, orange, white flowers, light spice of Rubj is the perfect warmer. Yesterday I worn the fab Veroprofumo Onda Extrait one of the best in the retro genre with its barnyard, soil, damp grass, leather vetiver accord.
Mr Parfumista is wearing Eau d'Italie Bois d’Ombrie an almost fresh, chilly, woody scent with a pleasant vetiver/whiskey/tobacco/leather accord, inspired of the umbrian forest a rainy day. Eau d'Italie Sienne l'Hiver would of course have suited even better, but B d'O fit well together with the greenery of the fresh Christmas tree.
