I love Python by Trussardi. I love its name too. Python, makes me think of the soft feeling of snakeskin that was shed by its host for about a week. When I was a curious child, I visited my grandmother in Maryland, whose home was an old Victorian farmhouse surrounded by farm land. The land was rife with various snakes slithering in and out of the corn rows and soy bean fields. Some black snakes had found their way into the house at times, especially the winter. I also had found a beautiful, but dead scarlet snake one day in the yard, its multicolored bands of black, cream and red fascinated me. There were several instances where I would come across pieces of snake skin around the yard, especially inside an old shed. I would pick these up and feel their crinkly texture, sometimes smell them, and they always felt very soft and fragile. I would keep these scraps inside of an old cardboard shoe box. I remember my grandmother had put away the box in the attic until my next summer visit. She brought it out for me and asked if I wanted to hunt the yard for more snake skin to add to my collection. I opened the box and the smell of the skins wafted up to my nose. I recall that it smelled a lot like human hair and feathers. Now, enough of that trip down memory lane...and back to the perfume.
I find Python to be a nice, soft and cuddly perfume. It starts out with nose tickling citrus notes and gives way to a velvety base of balsamic vanilla and sweet sandalwood. It also has what I call a "fuzzy" note, which makes me think of burying my face into a soft cashmere sweater. The way the silken fibers brush against my skin, makes me feel warm and comfortable. Spraying Python on my skin envelopes my body in a warm, cozy cocoon. I find that after the initial citric blast, the perfume remains more of a skin scent rather than a huge sillage bomb. Other "fuzzy" perfumes in my wardrobe are: Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, Ambre Gris by Balmain and Cruel Gardenia by Guerlain.
