Longevity at the expense of the scent
Preliminary remark:
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to wear Fico di Amalfi for longer and have only tested it briefly at Douglas, so I cannot make a comparison.

The Fico di Amalfi La Riserva leaves me divided in two.

On the one hand, it has a full green fig, which can be perceived from the beginning to the end. In my opinion, the longevity and sillage are above average and the fig lingers much longer on the body than with Fico Nero, for example. In addition, the fragrance is complemented by pleasant citrus notes for the first 2 hours, especially the grapefruit, which I notice in a positive way. The result is a simple, but not too monotonous progression.

On the other hand, the fragrance becomes heavier and heavier for me as I wear it. The citrus disappears, the tonka bean prevails. The creaminess increases and robs the refresher its strength. It does have a longlasting effect, but at the expense of freshness.

Overall, it remains a good fragrance for me. However, if I had to choose, I would prefer a short, light pleasure with Fico Nero.

Big upgrade
Its just better, in my opinion. Less fruity-sweet but ads a new green aspect that directly reminds of the skin of the fig making this fragrance more photorealistic. Still fresh but more longlasting and profound. In the dry down the creamyness increases with a bit of amber in my opinion but the green fig stays. It’s no beastmode at all but it takes the very weak performance of the Og and makes it decent and more wearable.nnAlso for me the Og had like a faint sweat smell im the dry-down, I didn’t find it in this version.

Possibly my favorite fragrance of all time
This is the epitome of a juicy, succulent, ripe fig and citrus fragrance. Since this is the EDP, you can smell that it is a bit stronger/concentrated than the original in the sense that it will last longer, and it does. Beautiful on skin and hair and has great sillage. Feels like frolicking on the coastline, just what you'd anticipate from ADP's line. I love this SO much.

Fig with Finally Good Longevity
Acqua di Parma creates wonderful summer fragrances. Bergamotto di Calabria and fico di amalfi are, in my opinion, the best among them. Two wonderful, fresh, and purely natural scents. It's like having the fruit within oneself. But to be honest, for the price, the longevity is not worth it. There are, in my opinion (even though the scent is top-notch), better alternatives. Now Acqua di Parma has released a "perfume" variant. And apparently, it works after all. Finally, fico di amalfi with good longevity. The original variant smells a bit fresher and better, but I gladly pay this price as it is still a wonderful fig scent. At first, you can smell this fig that many desire. For me, it was initially a bit too strong and bitter. After a few minutes, it becomes more balanced and unfolds into a perfect, fresh, and fruity scent profile through its base notes. Simply delightful. I hope similar developments come out for Bergamotto di Calabria and Mandarino di Sicilia. But with this one, they have already done a great job!

The Summer That Stays.
Amalfi Coast. Just before the sun kisses the sea. Spritz in hand. And a light breeze carrying this scent to you.

Fico di Amalfi La Riserva opens with juicy-sweet blood orange and zesty grapefruit, instantly providing energy. Not a hint of bitterness. Just pure, sunny freshness. In the background, the fig shyly hides. But over time, it comes forward distinctly, so green and fresh. In the end, the musk gently envelops this sweet citrus, making everything softer and warmer. Beautifully balanced.

Compared to the classic "Fico di Amalfi | Acqua di Parma," the La Riserva version feels sweeter & fuller and lasts over six hours on the skin. Not a loud presence, but a projection that stays close to the body.

This is not a scent to wear only in summer. It is a piece of the Amalfi Coast, captured in a bottle. Those who wear it carry not just a fragrance, but the memory of a summer evening that never fades. Absolutely unisex.

I prefer this to the original. It’s far more rounded and less screechy, but still very fresh. The fig is more prominent in this as well.

Unripe fig with a hint of lemon at the start, I’d also guess fig leaf, transitioning into a synthetic fresh aftertaste.

Unfortunately, the newer AdP clearly shows its synthetic base, missing the classic Cologne character: orange and figs.

La Riserva, like a wine aged in a barrel. Strong, intense, and sweet at the expense of freshness. H/S good! Definitely a success.

Looking in the rearview mirror - Bye, Amalfi Coast! At home "Crap, left the figs in the suitcase at 38°C"! Too sweet, the original is 100x better!

Much sweeter than the OG, in the drydown I mostly get a full blast of tonka bean, which gives it much better sillage.

Iris? Iris! Works very well. Warmer than the original version, lovely, soft, yet summery. Less feminine.

Woodier, sweeter & creamy than the original, but unfortunately with less noticeable fig. However, it has significantly better longevity.
