Jolie Cerchi Nell'Acqua

It could have been so beautiful… Just the ingredients make my mouth water. This sounds like a cuddly gourmand. Bam, check, wishlist. And shortly after, I held the sample in my hands.
Sprayed on, sniffed while waiting. I can see an oily film on the sprayed area. I am on cloud nine. What a heavenly top note. Sweet, somewhat liqueur-like and very soft, almost like the butter vanilla that you always use for baking as an aroma. This opening reminds me of something… Of course, Dolce Acqua by Profumum. It also had such a great start. After a few minutes, the scent changes, it becomes somehow more serious. The fluffy softness and sweetness fade away, and a really intense note comes into play. Quite overwhelming and unfortunately frightening the other ingredients away. And again, I notice parallels to DA by Profumum. Even though it is not listed with Jolie, I could swear there is heliotrope in it. This already bothered me in DA, and here it is no different. Too dominant, too loud, and too scratchy, it devastates my gourmand paradise. And that stays the same. For a very long time. A few hours later, it subsides. What remains is a wonderful base of warm milk with caramelized sugar sprinkles. Here, my world is back in order. But unfortunately, it does not reconcile me with this nasty heliotrope note. This is not going to work out for us. Such a shame, because I can't complain about the longevity and sillage here. Jolie easily lasts a workday, and I was always surrounded by a light cloud. For me, this means the search for the perfect gourmand continues. However, I still recommend every lover of sweet scents to test this one. Those who do not have such a strong aversion to the aforementioned ingredient will surely find it worthwhile.
