O'Driù LONDA 1005: Like It or Lump It!I'm coming to the conlcusion that Mr.Pregoni is the master of theopenings! Most of his compositions opens just like a whole operaplayed in a few minutes. While all this may sound a bitoverwhelming and confusing, let me reassure you that everyhtingit's incredibly detailed and clear and happens so naturally. Londa1005 makes no exceptions.

If the name Londa 1005 (which stays for italian L'Onda - TheWave) together with the presence of "salty notes" make you thinkabout an aquatic fragrance, be advised that there's nothingmarine/ozonic/ oceanic here, in fact the fragrance opens with ablast of challenging herbs and spices (sage, cumin, pepper andothers) paired with a bizarre pine/mint accord and joined by strong,astringent, sort of bitter-and-smoky notes. The house signature isclear and works just like a warning: "We're O'Driù, like it or lump it".

The overall sweaty/animalic vibe is immediately softened byaromatic citruses and other fizzy notes such as lemongrass andginger that while blending perfectly with the pepper/mint/pineaccord, drive the fragrance towards balsamic territories. In this

phase there's something that may vaguely remind of Villoresi's Piper Nigrum but don't let this mislead you:Londa 1005 is one of a kind.

All of the above happens in a few minutes and, as Ipreviously said, it's incredibly plausible and natural. It'slike taking a thrilling ride on one of those windingslides at the water park. You're shaked, amazed andthrilled to then jump into a refreshing finale into thewater.

After the opening, a salty/woody/vetiver basesurrounded by the usual amount of herbs and spices,starts to break-in while coniferous notes andlemongrass settle down and serve as necessaryrefinements. A remarkable musky quality providessome mistery. No sweetness detected throughout.Once again, Londa 1005 is not something for everyone but, If compared to other deliveries from this house, this issurely among the most easily approachable. This is not to say that it's simpler (because it's anything but), butslightly more "familiar".

Let's make it simple: a terrific take on vetiver.

Wether you like it or not, I still think that Pregoni is one of the best things happened to perfumery in the past fewyears!
