A fragrance like a second skin...
Recently, a few samples fluttered in again. One was Acqua di Gio pour Homme, which you already know, and along with it this brand new Terra di Gioia. I don't have much experience with the Gioia line; a few years ago when Sky du Gioia was released, I received samples of Sky and Aqua di Gioia and only remember that I found Sky completely unremarkable but Aqua quite interesting. I toyed with the idea of buying it, but somehow I never did.

Therefore, I didn't expect too much when I tested Terra, but I was still curious. But mhhh... What is this? It smells wonderful. Love at first sniff. It smells of almond but not too sweet, summery, yet this one could even work in winter. Somehow pleasing but not boring.
You surely know those people on the street who walk by and just smell naturally good without really smelling like perfume. That's exactly how I perceive this beautiful scent.
Almonds, a few flowers, a bit of amber in the drydown. (a hint of sunscreen and warm skin?)
It sounds trivial, but test it!
I was looking for exactly such a fragrance, and finally, I found it, and it immediately moved in with me.
This scent is rather close to the body and lasts moderately long, maybe 4-5 hours, and while I wear it, a whiff of fragrance occasionally wafts past my nose, enveloping me like a gentle veil.
A fragrance for every day that is actually simple yet so special. A big recommendation from me.

Addendum:
After having the opportunity to test Terra in cooler weather due to the weather, I must say it doesn't develop as beautifully and warmly in colder temperatures. It's also perceived a bit less; of course, it’s still nice but somehow less remarkable. It unfolds best in warm temperatures. Pay attention to the weather for the first impression :)

Almost Nostalgic
I hold all the Gioias dear and valuable, as they are pleasantly suitable for everyday wear.

And with the title "Terra," I think of my cherished Terra by Byblos and feel positive.

However, Gioia awaits after a mild citrus opening with a faint shellac note that reminds me of my dear grandmother's vinyl record collection.
A nostalgic feeling begins to stir within me - but this note doesn't quite fit with the fragrance.
This "doll scent" overshadows the other ingredients - I can still detect a bit of skin cream.
I much prefer the casually grounded Terra by Byblos.
I have encountered this "doll note" in several perfumes - but it is not for me.
It feels too synthetic to me.
Terra by Byblos is natural.

But there are plenty of Gioias to fall back on.

Hot Dry Summer Day
Terra di Gioia was pretty much one of the first reviews I wrote here. It was very short and not informative at all. I have been meaning to write a new one for ages, and now I am finally getting to it. Because nothing less than a great review is what this fragrance deserves.

But my journey actually began with "Ocean di Gioia | Giorgio Armani," which I picked up at Müller before my perfume obsession and eventually finished. Two years ago, I was in Crete and thought I needed a vacation scent. So off to the local perfumery, overwhelmed by the selection. Since I already knew the Ocean, I thought I would just test the other di Gioias from the line and quickly settled on the beautiful Terra.

Thus, Terra di Gioia became my Greece scent, and it still reminds me of that.
It starts off a little spritzy for a brief moment, but then the almond blossom quickly pushes to the forefront. Not long after, the jasmine also comes through very distinctly. Together with the musk, these three are the main players of the fragrance, which do not change anymore.
We were in Crete in June, the earth was partly already burned and dry, while the plants were still in full bloom. A wonderful but very abstract sight. This is exactly what Terra di Gioia reminds me of. It is dry and not fresh like other summer fragrances. Just like that burned earth. Just like the cloudless, heat-filled sky. But amidst all this dryness, the flowers shine through, which I only find in the south.
Despite this dryness, it fits wonderfully with temperatures of 30 degrees and above, as well as with the mild summer evenings.

Longevity and sillage are unfortunately not very special. That's okay; for the price, I can also reapply. And that's exactly what I've done so far. This is one of the few fragrances I have already repurchased, and even the only fragrance for which I have a backup bottle out of fear it might leave the market someday.
I haven't found a comparable perfume yet, even though I've really searched a lot. Because Terra di Gioia is absolutely unique and a true unicorn, especially in the designer segment.
So, if you are looking for a summer fragrance that is not just fresh and fruity, you should definitely give this one a sniff.

Summer Love
This fragrance is my absolute summer love.

It starts off very strong with almond. A creamy almond.
It is surrounded by citrus notes, jasmine, and as it develops, earthy notes come in. The sillage is not very strong, but the longevity is much better. On my skin, it lasts 4-5 hours, and afterwards, it is still quite noticeable on clothing. Together, it is the perfect summer fragrance.

It’s hard to describe; at first sniff, it seems a bit heavy for summer, yet at the same time, you can sense a hot summer in the air. It’s a hot summer that is somewhat exhausting, but you can jump into the sea at any time. In the sea, it’s still hot, and the sunscreen you have on your skin floats on the water's surface. At the same time, it also reminds me of that ‘Terra’. From the sea, I see a desert or a barren hot landscape with a few citrus trees.

The blend of almond, jasmine, and earthy notes makes it perfect for me. I could bathe in this fragrance. I wore it every day on vacation. I at least emptied the small bottle in one summer.

Fresh Laundry on an Almond Blossom Meadow
Since very beautiful sensory images have already been painted for this fragrance, I will, as I prefer, get straight to the description:

Terra di Gioia cannot be compared to its siblings, as it has a warm creaminess unlike any of the Gioias.

I can clearly smell the almond blossom, and that lasts until the end.
At first, there is a fresh blend of warm and citrus notes, with none of the citrus fruits standing out prominently, but throughout the heart, I keep getting the association of freshly washed laundry, fresh and clean, but never soapy.
Clearly, jasmine has a hand in this.
The almond blossom, however, eliminates the laundry note and reminds us that this is indeed a perfume and not a detergent.

The creamy freshness then begins to become warmer and cozier.
In the base, it remains exactly that; an almond blossom dream paired with seductive musk and warm, indispensable sandalwood.

I love this fragrance and enjoy wearing it in both autumn and summer.

The opening felt generic to me, but the ambery, woody, slightly herbal dry-down is warm and pleasantly different for a women’s scent.

Almond-pear vacation joys.
Lightly floral and woody.
Quite sweet.

And another one I want to forget quickly. Jasmine with synthetic pear, on a sweet musk aftertaste. Totally bores me.

Sweet almond in summer,
not earthy, more beach,
not very floral, more skin.
Base noticeably synthetic, yet a nice new scent.

Delicately enveloping almond with a hint of citrus. Neither sweet nor overpowering. Quite different from her sisters and for me the most beautiful Gioia.

A creamy, powdery scent that you can enjoy to the fullest - it's delicate, clear, romantic, and emotional.

My vacation scent of 2021. Warm skin and evening sun, plus a cocktail by the sea... Closely related to Aquasun by Lancaster. This one stays with me!

With sand between my toes and sunscreen on my skin, I watch the sunset over the sea. Well done!
