My third favorite from Milano Fragranze after Cortile and Basilica was Diurno.
An off-kilter blend of barbershop and amaretto. It’s a sweet and fruity liqueur and the opening here features it prominent. I was loving that opening, but it fades quickly. Soon as my nose adjusted to it, it becomes more and more barbershop fougere styled.
It smells clean and a bit steamy, like a bathhouse. A shampoo-like scent, which is made interesting mostly by the amaretto touch.
