It warms the cockles of your heart

Unfortunately, I can't even say whether the perfume brand "Ars Mirabile" (from the Latin for "wonderful art") even still exists. Apparently, there is currently neither an internet presence nor any references to online shops. In the perfumeries, too, I haven't seen a single one of these conspicuous red bellied bottles in the last year.

It's a pity, because the scents of "Ars Mirabile" are not that bad, just extremely rare. Whereby Filtro d'Amore, the love potion, can be attested that it is indeed very sweet and pleasantly warm.

Lemon and spicy cardamom are only used for a very short time in the starting phase, but you remain in the background until just before the drydown. This takes the weight off the creation a bit, because only a few blink of an eye later it becomes more floral with some rose geranium and especially with patchouli.

From here on, one could speak of an aromatic to sweet oriental eau de parfum, although thanks to labdan resin and musk, the love potion doesn't look too feminine after all. Vanilla also has something to say towards the end, but quietly enough not to disturb the flow.

No matter who was the perfumer here, one is a little on the safe side with "Filtro d'Amore" and wants to please many wearers. For some, the whole thing might be too sweet and too simple, others would be bothered by this minimal puffiness. Of course the potion is unisex, but if one should decide for only one side, the tendency goes more in the direction of women's fragrance.

At least it is beautifully round and offers comforting warmth for heart and nose with a corresponding cuddling factor. Maybe not a perfume to fall in love with, but a lovely one.
