This is amazing stuff. Like a rough kiss from a sweaty, unshaven mechanic whilst being pushed up against a pile of old tyres... *sigh*
The petrol spill, 'pit-stop' opening dissipates rather speedily and you're left with a dry, subtle, synthetic leather and wood drydown that's eminently wearable.
The name Nostalgia refers to classic cars and the fragrance commemorates some famous race or other. I'm afraid I was a little distracted by the scent itself and scrabbling for my credit card as the lovely lady at the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy in Florence told me the story.
The wooden bottle cap is totally hideous but this is a beautiful, clever fragrance. Challenging, unabashed postmodernism from an old, refined, established fragrance house. Excellent.
