This is so weird. I was just about to write an official nay for Etro Gomma. Too sour, too strong, too...goth. Sort of an eau de basement.
But now it smells good. The sour note wears off after a while. This is the combination I was smelling yesterday.
Gomma is a hard scent to rec based on all this. I think it depends heavily on your body chemistry. If you don't bring out the sour note, by all means...I can see it would become a nice, clean, dry scent.
Lemon Sorbet, on the other hand, is more universal.

It may be that it's supposed to be sprayed very lightly at a distance? I've found one of my favorites this way, Caron Parfum Sacre.

It could be that. I've gotten good results using only a tiny bit of Alien by Thierry Mugler...it's a weird perfume but it works in moderation.
Gomma though...I dunno. That "eau de wet basement" note is hard to deal with.
