Colonia canella
tested last weekend at the spring store in Lyon Bellecour.

the warmth and numerous comments from perfume influencers on tiktok aroused my curiosity about this apparently incredible perfume.

so for my part I find it surprising, it is an atypical smell which seems to mix eau de cologne with cinnamon, although this is not present in the composition.

It is perhaps in relation to this feeling that some people find that he resembles Bvlgari man in black.

For my part I find him very different. the spicy side is less powerful and the cologne side more refreshing. rather a scent of late summer or early autumn for temperatures around 25 degrees.

mixed but slight male preponderance for those over 30.

adp offers us a unique fragrance that I have never felt to date in all the Cologne perfume tests (around a hundred).

However, the feeling is not strong enough for me to add it to my collection.

Number 3 it is! For me, the best AdP from the Note di Colonia series I Oriental freshness paired with the AdP DNA
A young, peppery Arab prince visits Italy for the first time in the summer... and falls in love with the culture... the short version of the fragrance....Some of you may have already read my review of Note di Colonia II; unfortunately, it wasn't special enough for me and didn't do justice to the price level. With Note di Colonia III, however, AdP has really stepped on the gas; why?

- The Note di Colonia III starts fresh with a blast of ginger and mandarin. Beautiful! But the opening is also accompanied by a fresh incense note, which in combination with the slightly green vetiver smells simply brilliant; oriental and at the same time typical of AdP (Italian, fresh!). The incense is absolutely not reminiscent of a dull church aisle, nor is it somehow particularly challenging; it is there and lends the freshness an oriental character, nestling beneath the freshness! WOW!

- The fragrance then becomes slightly warmer and slightly sweet, but never loses that green-tart freshness from the beginning. Simply brilliant.

- The longevity of Note di Colonia III is far better than that of Note di Colonia II; this is probably also due to the more powerful ingredients such as frankincense, tonka bean and myrrh :)

Overall, a much better, more oriental fragrance, which for me is still not worth the money, but is more in line with the high price tag!

Good versatile and likable fragrance. Get a spicebomb vibe but softer and more subtile. Enjoying the smell, but nothing ground breaking
