Last Season
Fragrance notes
Character
Last Season opens like a damp morning in early autumn, the air thick with the crush of oakmoss, galbanum, and hay that have been left out overnight to soak up the dew. There is a sharp green bite from artemisia and mate, quickly heated by a leathery, animalic core that feels less like expensive hide and more like a well-worn harness still warm from the horse. Giuseppe Imprezzabile has built a scent that refuses to apologize for its density. The drydown is where the magic turns demanding: oud and castoreum cling to smoky birch and tobacco, while seaweed and costus lend a briny, almost sweaty undertone that keeps things from ever going full cathedral incense. This is a heavy, natural-smelling composition with a sillage that hovers just north of polite, and longevity that will outlast most relationships. The overall character is a beaten leather journal filled with pressed herbs and a sprig of pine, left open in a dusty library by the sea. It suits someone who likes their fragrances complex, uncompromising, and slightly melancholic. Skip it if you prefer clean laundry or anything that sparkles in the sun. Wear it on a gray winter afternoon when you want to smell like a season that has already passed, or during a crisp autumn walk where every leaf feels like a farewell. The only weakness is that the sheer weight of notes can blur into a brownish smudge on hot skin, so respect its seasonality.
