Aquatic Nausea Meets Strong Masculinity!
I have thought long and hard about writing a comment on this perfume, but I just have to do it, even knowing I might get a thumbs down.
About the scent:
The Profumo starts off very aquatic - masculine. The problem with this fragrance is that it is addictive. And that brings me to the point. When I spray this perfume, I feel nauseous. This chlorine-bathwater smell is definitely something you need to get used to. After about 30 minutes, Profumo develops into a really good spicy fragrance that radiates self-assured masculinity. Perfect for work during meetings, but also in the evening for cocktail drinking. I have already received positive compliments about Profumo. In some way, the drydown reminds me of a cross between ADP - Colonia Essenza and Creed Aventus. This drydown is what makes me addicted to Profumo! It combines two excellent classics for me.
Start: Nauseating indoor pool
Drydown: Perfect ... Masculine-Powerful Spicy-Light
Longevity: Surprisingly long 8-10 hours

Even after 6 years, still very accurate. Personally, I don't find the top note that bad, but the drydown is definitely the highlight; after 30 minutes, I can't stop smelling my shirt. I was also surprised by the longevity; after eight and a half hours, it's still noticeably present, even with the new batch without the magnetic cap. It just makes you feel fresh, clean, and confident.

Very accurate. That's why I struggle with it from time to time, as the top note distorts the actual scent. In the drydown, it's a hit.

You described and explained it excellently. I feel the same way. The beginning is dreadful. But what you perceive about the sillage after a while is some of the best I've experienced so far.

Just a little nitpicking, it should be: aquatic, not aquaric, since it has nothing to do with your aquarium.

Nailed it! I feel the same way. I hate the ADG DNA, but in the drydown, it smells amazing (when properly dosed).
