Maiora ParfumPhraenesya Pastiera Extrait

Description Phraenesya Pastiera turns a Neapolitan Easter pie into perfume: candied orange, orange blossom, cinnamon and warm pastry. It was released in 2023 by Maiora Parfum, the Italian house whose fragrances are composed by Antonio Gigli , and it is built around pastiera napoletana, the ricotta-and-wheat tart scented with citrus and orange-flower water that Naples bakes every Easter. The house frames it as a memory of baking at home. Sweet orange, lemon, raspberry and a splash of coconut milk open it, the heart brings the pastiera accord itself with caramel, orange blossom, cinnamon and tonka, and the base settles into vanilla, benzoin, amber, musk and a little patchouli. It is a gourmand first, but the citrus and orange blossom keep it brighter than most dessert scents. Scent Character Sweet : 50% Woody : 17% Fresh : 13% Spicy : 7% Rich Ambers : 7% Floral : 7% Translation: a sweet fragrance before anything else. The woody and fresh shares are the citrus peel and the precious-woods base that stop it from turning into pure sugar, and the small amber share comes from patchouli and benzoin, not oud. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Sweet Orange, Lemon, Coconut Milk, Raspberry Heart: Pastiera Napoletana Accord, Caramel, Orange Blossom, Cinnamon, Tonka Bean Base: Vanilla, Benzoin, Patchouli, Precious Woods, Amber, Musk Performance Longevity: Long, as you would expect from an extrait: most of a day on skin, and longer on a scarf or sweater. Sillage: Moderate to strong for the first few hours. Projection: Arm's length or a little more early on, then a warm, sweet cloud closer to the body. An honest note: reviews are still few, so treat this as a guide. Sweet gourmands grow louder in heat, so go lighter on warm days. Best Occasions & Season Best in Fall, Winter and early Spring, when orange blossom and pastry feel right. It works for daytime and relaxed evenings: weekends, family gatherings, a cafe date. Unisex. Skip it if you dislike sweet, edible fragrances, because the dessert is the point.

No. Its small dark share comes from patchouli, benzoin and amber in the base. Is it men's or women's? Unisex, though it will appeal most to anyone who likes sweet, edible fragrances. Is it the same fragrance as Frennesìa? Some retailers list this Maiora extrait under the name Frennesìa. The notes and the pastiera theme are the same.
