Si Quiero
The note row we hold for Aire de Sevilla Si Quiero Eau de Toilette 150ml runs to four materials, and the fragrance behaves accordingly. This is a short composition, written plainly rather than inflated.
Raspberry is the first thing you notice, tart and jammy at once, the fruit rather than the sweet. Ginger sits against it and does the useful work, dry and peppery and just warm enough to stop the berry turning syrupy. Jasmine softens the join between the two with a creamy floral weight, and vanilla closes it, smooth and faintly powdery, pulling the fruit towards dessert without quite taking it there. Four materials means there is no long evolution to follow. What you smell in the first ten minutes is broadly what you get for the rest of the wear, give or take the vanilla gaining ground as the fruit fades. Some people much prefer that kind of fragrance, because it is legible and you always know what you are wearing, and others find it plain, so it is worth knowing before buying rather than after. At eau de toilette strength it is light on the skin and friendly in close quarters, which makes it a reasonable everyday choice and an easy one to over apply without consequence. The 150ml bottle is generous and priced to be used freely instead of rationed. It reads sweet and feminine, suits daytime and warmer months, and would work for a teenager as readily as for anybody else.
Instituto Espanol, which makes the Aire de Sevilla range, has been producing perfumery and cosmetics in Spain since 1903 and remains a family business in its third generation. Its factory is at Hinojos in Huelva province and the company calls itself entirely Andalusian. Alongside colognes it makes shower gels, creams, deodorants and oils, and it treats Gotas de Oro and Anfora Oro as its traditional stars.
