Dark coffee & rose

It's really interesting how fragrance is so subjective. For me the coffee is absolutely the most prominent note throughout the wear but a friend of mine said it smelled like roses and didn't get the coffee at all. The opening is very bitter, but it rounds out quickly and dries down to a sweet black coffee with vanilla syrup, rose and hazelnut. This is similar to Intense cafe, but much better and more natural smelling.

I got this one on a wonderful vacation in Italy, which may affect my judgement. Otherwise this might have been just a like, simply because these types of perfumes are not the easiest to wear in my daily life. This may come off as a bit too strong for people who are not into perfume, so I find I have to be strategic about when to wear this.

Hazelnut & Coffee

This fragrance is a gourmand, sweet but not cloyingly so. I get a lot of hazelnut cream and a little coffee, on a base of vanilla and musk. The bergamot and pink pepper are present in small amounts, adding just a bit of zing (much like adding some orange peel to a dessert). Longevity is several hours for me. I like the drydown a lot too, it retains some complexity rather than being a flat sweet scent.

I don't typically like most gourmand fragrances, but I find this one very cozy and comforting to wear, especially in cold weather. I don't find it too overwhelming for warm weather wear, except for maybe the very hottest days.

I think the bottle is fine, nothing special, but it is heavy glass with Carthusia in raised letters in the glass and the sprayer isn't flimsy like some I've used. I wouldn't characterize it as cheap so much as boring.

Overall, this is one of my favorite fall and winter scents to wear.

Best coffee scent ever

After the other coffee fragrances had all smelled "ewww!" to "horrible" to me over the years, leading me to believe that I only like coffee as coffee, I got a very small sample of this. And - I couldn't believe it. SO good...!
This fabulous fragrance has just the right sillage to be an economical fragrance "out and about", and not to become disgusting or overpowering when you're alone and wear two or three sprays.
"Coffee", transformed from a beverage to a perfume association, is noticeable throughout an incredibly successful blend of diverse aromas: absolutely mega if you like something strong and spicy, but don't always want to smell like "Orient".

Because Terra Mia is everything, but not even remotely oriental.

I understand if others want to wear Terra Mia in the fall or enjoy its warmth in the winter, but for me it is an absolute summer fragrance for all genders. The bottling shot into my top four of this summer within hours, so to speak, kicking Perseus out of there, and there it stayed until it too was almost empty and given away to make room for the bottle ^^
Terra Mia is addictively good, never too sweet, but always enough - - without "Moha" it might have become the new Signature ;). My surprise when I saw the comparatively low price was great - and delighted. - The only drawback: in contrast to Profumo, which comes in a stylishly beautiful bottle, the liquid here has to make do with a horrible design disaster - what the heck is that supposed to be? What the ... I can only assume that this is a screenshot from the nightmare of a psychotic garden gnome hater, but: who knows, who knows. -
