PEARFAT PARFUM LE BEFANA REVIEWS
Reddit: I bought myself an early Christmas present of a small bottle of Pearfat's La Befana (blue tansy, frozen rose petals, incense, wool) while getting a discovery set for my mom. Now that I'm not terrified of using up my sample, I'm busting it out all over. I literally wept the first time I sprayed it, because it smells so much like my late grandmother's house at Christmastime. I don't think any perfumer could compete with Allie Kiral when it comes to the category of Italian American grandma scents. But beyond the childhood associations, gosh, what a special perfume. It's got an herbal tea aspect and a cozy powderiness that is neither sweet nor like baby powder. I have never been to Catholic mass, so its church incense doesn't hit for me in any kind of religious way but smells beautiful. Ambery vanilla cozy sweater scents don't hit right for me, because those aren't the scents I associate with being wrapped up on a cold day. This fuzzy, wooly, herbal perfume is my winter.
