Pioggia Moderata is the nostalgia of finding yourself walking in Milan while your own steps draw your emotions on the wet road. From their website: In the mountain of solitude, a gray cloud communicates to me that are in someone’s hand. And he leads me by the hand where existences tear. Each verse of my poems are next to each other untouched. And the world is lost. With the falling drops I do not mark the time, I am just away from life. And I amalgamated in the dramatic sound of emotions. It rains on the void and the cry becomes matter, it breaks the silence. Voices sway. Here is the meeting, between the asphalt and its liquid footsteps drawn and which confirm the man alone, in the existential metropolis of noise. Debole. Here is the fear, of a wood that is silent suspended, amazed by the water that deceives, a generator of mold that obstructs the fire. Forte. Here is the dance in the dark, among the clouds of the solo song who wants to embrace an eternal flesh. We are lovers immersed in the drama of the other’s salty tears, we are now united by the rain that mixes the smells to make them only one. Pioggia Moderata features top notes of bergamot, iris, marine notes, myrtle and nutmeg; middle notes of jasmine, clove, precious woods and soil; and base notes of musk, thyme, tonka bean, labdanum, patchouli and sandalwood. It is an extrait de parfum.
FILIPPO SORCINELLI PIOGGIA MODERATA REVIEWS
Fragrantica: This fragrance is perfect for rainy dark days, the earthy note is very strong and very unisex. This fragrance smells like a priest is walking through a dark forest with pine needles on the ground in heavy rain. This fragrance is class. Test first before buying as some call it generic when they smell this. But its unique in my opinion 9.7/10
Fragrantica: This is my personal favorite out of the three pioggia fragrances. The others smells a bit too generic aquatic for me, they aren't bad, just not what I'm after. This one however smells like a damp moldy basement. It opens with a rather offputting note of mosquito repellant but it settles. It's unique and that's why I adore it. Offputting if you're not adventurous that's for sure.
Fragrantica: Smoke and mushrooms.
Fragrantica: A much darker scent than the other Pioggia, and in this case more reminiscent of his Human Voices series. It smells like slightly spiced Terrasol and dried and sticky flowers, like soot, fire, wood and mushrooms. Rotten wood, perhaps, a cellar, confined and dark places. My partner also gets a note of bloody skin or iron. The cistus/patchouli/thyme aspect is reminiscent of what you'd find in the world of natural perfumery and essential oil-based fragrances, with about three times the staying power. It's clearly not a perfume I would wear on a daily basis (I'm really struggling to imagine how and who could wear it), but it's a kind of diorama, a mix of scents we all know, and which is revealed in several really interesting layers. Nice, then, but to test absolutely before investing.
Fragrantica: When I smelled it first time, it smells like wet wall, almost like moldy wall. It is something like smell of humid basement with marine tones or when dusty dirty asphalt in a metropolitan city is washed by rain.
