FEB. 14, 1912 reveals itself to be a chameleon of lucid form, as the creation carries both warmth and a hint of mild coolness. Skin-warming closeness and silky-milky comfort meet an irresistible touch of delicately bitter tartness, quietly reminiscent of green coffee beans. The ravishingly refined spicy milk, enhanced with star anise, aromatic fennel seeds and liquorice, exudes gentleness and comfort. Balsamic accents in sand-coloured leather catch the attention, so powerful are they, spicy, sensual and confusingly attractive. The scene is illuminated by the iridescent sparkle of hesperides, which gently mediates between the contrasts and thus paves the way for the transition to the heart.
The beguiling, surprisingly delicate floral heart notes are dominated by a finely powdery grandeur and elegance that undoubtedly come from the earthy iris. Enveloped by the tingling spice of garden carnation and a diffuse, matt silver dryness, it blossoms into touching beauty. Even rose and jasmine briefly submit to its quiet dominance, initially serving only to emphasise the stylish brilliance of the iris. The longer the skin and fragrance molecules cling to each other, the more the powdery dryness gives way to velvety softness. A little later, a radiant rose entwines itself around the gentler, crumpled leather notes. Enchanting moments of tenderness set the tone as the fragrance develops. Creamy musk spiced with a pinch of tonka bean, along with delicately smoky cedarwood and heliotrope, skilfully underscore the softness of the rose. Together, they create charming accents and ensure a never-ending depth.
FEB. 14, 1912 cannot be pinned down. Precious boudoir moments in silk, much-kissed skin and leathery fetishes. Powdery tenderness, feminine softness and sublime elegance. Warm spiced milk, dry woods and masculine tartness. FEB.14, 1912 plays so masterfully with contrasts that you never quite figure out the sophisticated composition. That is precisely what makes Arturetto Landi's symphony so irresistibly appealing.
Excitingly different and unusually confident. Clear and elegant. Unpretentious and expressive. A real all-rounder.
