It could have been so beautiful..
Lattedoro. A scent name that translates to Golden Milk, as it says here on Parfumo. It makes you think of milk and honey, doesn't it? :) It's been quite a long time since I've even had milk with honey, I think I was even a toddler then. Later, honey only came into some of my teas, and it was very rare. Especially with some cold teas we had sweetened with honey to soften the sometimes absolutely disgusting taste of some such medicinal teas. I mean, sometimes you get such advice, especially from aunts or mother etc:
"Drink this cold tea with its 150 herbs. If you don't like it, put a spoonful of honey in it. Your grandmother did it before, it really works. You'll be fit again tomorrow!"
... *wurgh* Not at all, you just get two little sips down from it and don't ever want to suck on the tea cup again afterwards. You'd rather suffer a few more days instead of doing something like that to yourself :D
Be that as it may, I had hoped that the scent would at least smell good, as it doesn't sound bad from the scents. But unfortunately this smell had too many disturbing factors for me and well, just read it yourself :D
Aaaber: The impression is clouded soon by a somewhat (for me) not so great fragrance unfortunately. There is a kind of herb, whether it is turmeric, I don't know, but this herb smells slightly austere and unusual. Unusual because it somehow doesn't really match the rest of the sweet fragrance. It's almost as if you're spicing delicious sweet cakes with intense herbs like rosemary, which somehow would have to taste strange, even strange, wouldn't you say? :D
Anyway, the fragrance doesn't smell so great for me, and I hope that it will get a little better in the further course of the fragrance. That the scent is not so pungent could be due to the milk, which together with the vanilla makes the scent softer. Of course there is also the iris, which contributes an additional great powdery note. The coconut only smells good for a short time, then also its scent becomes a bit more severe and doesn't smell so great for me this way, it even reminds me a little of "We Love NY - Love Coco". Well, Lattedoro isn't as bad as Love Coco, but the coconut doesn't smell as great as you would normally imagine.
Every now and then the powdery and soft notes radiate more strongly, which makes the fragrance nicer, but then you will also notice the other fragrances described above, which in turn have a disturbing effect. And so the fragrance also remains, ... a fragrance that has good beginnings, but unfortunately I personally did not like it.
The shelf life is very good, you can smell the scent for more than ten hours.
Soo, no, I didn't like the smell here like I said. On the one hand it has some great scents to offer, like vanilla, iris, milk, which also smell good from time to time... on the other hand, however, there are also rather violent or strictly smelling scents, which (for me anyway) ruin everything again or are at least just disturbing, like turmeric and the not always good smelling coconut. Yes, Lattedoro is rather unusual, it is not a scent that you often have under your nose. But perhaps it appeals to all those who are looking for fragrances that should smell different from most of what you already know.
Of course you could also try the Love Coco by Honoré des Prés mentioned in the fragrance description, but believe me, I really don't recommend this, because the fragrance is really really disgusting! :DD
Anyway, this scent here is an autumn scent (and winter) for me. On warm days he would immediately crush and smother and kill everyone. And for what purpose could this scent be used? Well, good question, you'll have to find that out for yourself. I don't think it's great for going out at all, but it's not great for daily use either... well, as I said, maybe others like it a lot more, after all it's been rated pretty good here so far!

The fragrance:
Hmm, in the beginning it smells of cinnamon and vanilla, so it smells nice of a sweet pastry. It's almost as if I'm going to bite the cinnamon snail... of course I meant ONE cinnamon snail, not the Parfuma cinnamon snail, which is also up to no good here on Parfumo :DAaaber: The impression is clouded soon by a somewhat (for me) not so great fragrance unfortunately.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is okay, not extremely strong, but good enough to be sniffed from a medium distance. The shelf life is very good, you can smell the scent for more than ten hours.
The bottle:
The bottle is square and looks solid and high quality. As is usually the case for a niche fragrance, labelling is very simple. The lid, on the other hand, looks very nice, it is made of polished sandstone. Without the lid, the bottle would look too simple for me, but it has become quite nice.
