What do reviewers say about Io Sono L'Amore and Melancholia?
Blackcurrant blossom as a heart note is a power move, tart going creamy, floral turning almost lactonic. It makes this chypre feel less like a heritage structure and more like something the 2020s.Io Sono L'Amore
The smoke and blackcurrant together can feel like a jolt at first, unfamiliar, almost astringent. But that's exactly the point. This isn't a fragrance that reassures. It asks something of you.Melancholia
