Soft Focus EDP

Dreaming of this Fragrance Since Last Summer

I have been dreaming of this fragrance since last summer and it is finally mine! I live in Phoenix and lived in Tucson when I was younger. Anything from Bruno is extra special as an Arizonan so this was the third addition to my Fzotic collection.

Soft Focus 2.0?

I received my Soft Focus and the formulation is not so subtly different. The sulfurous fruity quality seems to have moved towards a greener figgy one. I also can’t detect the chili note until a bit later in development. The subdued sticky sweetness of the original formulation seems to be different, perhaps it’s the green of the figgy scent pulling the sweetness into a higher register. It actually seems more tenacious and a bit bolder too. This is the first time I’ve purchased a second bottle of one of your fragrances. Has it been your experience that different batches have differences that could be perceived as different “vintages”? Is it possible subsequent vintages may be able to recapture the sulfurous fruitiness? Or is it fair to think this perfume has simply begun its inevitable evolution into something a little different? I appreciate the opportunity to be candid with you and hope my observations are not perceived as inflammatory. I love Fzotic and I am genuinely interested in understanding your process.

Soft summer

The most lovely guava pineapple lime opening, summer fruit without being too sweet or overpowering. Coconut leather and salty skin and soft creamy sandalwood dry down. Love love.
