Meo Fusciuni | 2# Nota di Viaggio (Shukran...) | Parfum
2# Nota di Viaggio (Shukran...) is a deeply evocative, transportive aromatic-green masterpiece from the artistic Italian house of Meo Fusciuni. Composed by perfumer Giuseppe Imprezzabile, this fragrance represents the second chapter in his Trilogy of Travel, a collection dedicated to translating profound geographic and spiritual journeys into olfactory poetry.
Shukran—which translates to "thank you" in Arabic—is a liquid love letter to Morocco, inspired by the time the perfumer spent in nomad tents, listening to traditional music and sharing stories over hot tea. The fragrance completely bypasses the heavy, resinous, amber-laden stereotypes of Middle Eastern perfumery to focus entirely on a singular, hyper-realistic cultural ritual: Moroccan mint tea. It opens with an explosive, incredibly luminous canopy of pure, fresh-crushed spearmint leaves. This bracing introduction shifts smoothly into a highly sophisticated, calming heart where the dry, smoky herbal nuances of Moroccan green tea leaves dominate. The entire composition is anchored on an exceptionally smooth, grounding base of clean, warm Moroccan cedarwood and a subtle trace of tobacco-tinged woods, capturing the exact scent of hot steam rising from a silver teapot into the cool desert air.

Vibe: "The Desert Tea Ritual", an incredibly crisp, cooling, and photorealistic explosion of fresh mint and steaming green tea, perfectly balanced by a dry, sophisticated, and slightly smoky cedar wood foundation.
Performance: Operating at a premium, highly concentrated Parfum strength, 2# Nota di Viaggio delivers a remarkably persistent, long-lasting presence on the skin that smoothly sails through 8 to 10 hours of wear, a phenomenal feat for a mint-forward profile. It opens with an expansive, highly diffusive flash of crisp, icy mint that projects an energized, refreshing aura well beyond handshake distance. As the fragrance reacts to natural body heat, the initial cooling bite transitions seamlessly into a dense, velvety, and deeply comforting scent bubble. The smoky green tea and rich cedarwood maintain absolute structural stability without ever turning thin or toothpaste-like, leaving an incredibly unique, magnetic trail that clings tenaciously to clothing and fine fabrics for days.
