A closer look at Mendittorosa Nettuno EDP
Mendittorosa is the house behind Nettuno EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
When in the day to wear Nettuno
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its leather side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Zara Imperial Purple is a lighter match.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is powdery (100%), followed by iris and leather. You will probably like it if you enjoy powdery and iris smells and notes like rose and iris. Less obvious notes include pink pepper and white musk.
Other Mendittorosa perfumes
The house has 21 perfumes here, led by Le Mat unisex, Sirio unisex and Talento unisex.
How long Nettuno stays on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Zara Imperial Purple and Chanel Les Exclusifs de Chanel 28 La Pausa. Base notes like iris and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac and Zara Imperial Purple.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €576. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Etat Libre d'Orange Nostos unisex and Zara Imperial Purple.
