Summer fragrance: citrus and musk
This summer’s twin fragrance obsessions are citrus and musk, I can’t get enough of either. My big citrus passion at the moment is Hermès Eau de Citron Noir(from £48 for 50ml), the latest addition to the Hermès colognes by in-house nose Christine Nagel. From the same family of cool citruses as Eau D’Orange Vert, it’s so juicy and delicious, I want to stick a straw in it and drink it. (Side note:…
May 1977. ‘This Spring discover, for the first time, delicately hand-painted wooden perfume totes, each containing a flacon of Muguet des bois perfume.’

Furla Autentica Perfume Review
Hi guys,
Say hello to the newest addition of my always expanding Furla collection! ❤️
Since I spotted the new Furla Autentica Eau De Parfum on Fragrantica, I was looking everywhere to get my hands on a bottle of those, because well, the brand! It’s Furla, obviously, one of my favorite brands ever, and it’s description sounds just like the kind of fragrances I like!
Furla Autentica EDP is a new fresh, floral, fruity and femimine Aquatic Fresh Chypre scent for women and was created by Italian brand Furla, known for it’s high quality leather goods, bags and accessories and loved by fashionistas all over the world.
Autentica was released earlier this year and contains topnotes of Pear, Raspberry and Mandarin Orange, a heart of Peony, Lily Of The Valley and Cherry Blossom and closes with basenotes of Musk, Patchouli and Cashmere Wood. It advertises as a joyful burst of sparkling and juicy notes with a soft heart in a colorful, modern and real Chypre scent. The name Autentica stands for and enhances the authenticity, the strong identity and the heritage of this famous and iconic fashion house.
A fashionable Italian style, attention for details and the use of high quality raw materials is what forms the base of the creation and the launch of this fragrance.
Earlier this week, Autentica finally showed up at Zalando (yay! ) and I immediately ordered myself a bottle, without even smelling the scent first. I took a risk by not trying this scent before buying it (I couldn’t find it anywhere in any fysical store and wasn’t able to find many reviews online either) and to be honest, it’s a scent that I don’t think I would have buyed if I did have the chance to test it first. When sniffing the bottle immediately after my package arrived, it smelled really good. A bit flowery, but still good, perfect for spring and summer. But when I sprayed it on my wrists, there was a note of something very heavy and strong in there, a razor sharp edge, that I don’t really like that much and that certainly isn’t there when sniffing the bottle. I believe it’s the Patchouli which is reacting to the natural scent of my skin. I do find it a bit odd though, because almost all my perfumes contain Patchouli, which I absolutely adore, and I never experienced a reaction like that. But I must admit that after a few hours, that sharp edge is almost gone, leaving behind a similar floral scent to the one in the bottle itself.
Because of that sharp edge, it’s not exactly my favorite fragrance, and I don’t think I will be wearing it on special occasions, because YSL’s Black Opium still holds that spot and earns that privilege, but it’s okay to wear on an everyday base, for work, to go shopping or when taking a walk or something. It’s not the best scent that I ever encountered, but it definitely isn’t the worst either, especially not after wearing it for a few hours, when that sharp edge has dissapeared. But it’s still just okay. Nothing special. A plain, ordinary everyday scent for doing plain, ordinary everyday stuff!
When sniffing the bottle, the floral notes are the most noticeable, but after applying it, the Patchouli appears quite fast. It really is a scent for everyday use, not too heavy (apart from the Patchouli reaction on my skin), not too sweet, quite innocent and girly and yet modern and feminine. It’s quite heavy scented when just applied, but it dries down rather quickly without losing it’s floral scent. In my opinion, this scent is suitable for any age and it’s really longlasting too. Just make sure to test it first, to test the way the fragrance reacts to your skin!
The bottle, which creates a bold link between fashion, perfumery and beauty, is just gorgeous and was created with their iconic Metropolis bag in mind. The shape, the gold details like the engraved plaque with logo, the matte looking top half and the line carved in the bottom half of the bottle does reminds me of these iconic Furla bags, which I absolutely love. I do own several Furla bags myself, including the Metropolis and the 1927. It’s my favorite brand when it comes to bags! ❤️
The perfume itself has a pretty soft pink colour that suits the look of the sophisticated and femimine looking bottle.
Furla Autentica is now available at Zalando (in sale!) for €54,95 for a 50ml bottle and €55,95 for a 100ml bottle. I went for the 100ml bottle because of the difference of €1. Can’t blame me, right?
This post also gave me the opportunity to test a few Lightroom presets I created for my pictures, do you like them?
