Migone dal 1866

Florentine home and personal fragrance brand.

This brand was one of my favorite discoveries of the expo.  Omnipresence was a voyage through fruit that was a mile away from the fruiti-chouli fragrances the populate department stores.  My personal favourite however was Paname Paname, elegance in a bottle.

Final Thoughts

Unsurprisingly, I got some olfactory fatigue. I smelt more fragrances in three days than I has probably smelt all year.  It was also the most fun I have had in ages. Where the brands are accessible available in London I have listed a stockist.  Look for reviews of some of the fragrances and brands over the coming months.

You can read more of my fragrance reviews here and here and on my Spritz and Sniff instagram.
