Aventure Il Profvmo 2006

Very bold of Il Profvmo to release such a fragrance in 2006: citrus notes, lavender and jasmine, amber, vetiver, and leather. It sounds old-fashioned. But it is not. The scent is clearly structured, not a random grab from the component box, but with a few deft touches, a well-known combination has been brought into the 21st century. I share Seymour's comment that the blend of white pepper and absinthe gives the fragrance spice, but also freshness/coolness (in contrast to most other spice components that tend to spread a warmer aura). The scent remains fresh and light. And that is rather rare: fresh leather and amber. I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
That Aventure is "floating" and "ethereal" can indeed be taken literally. On the skin, the fragrance is noticeably more discreet than from a distance. The sillage should not be underestimated! I was waiting for the subway and wondered who nearby was wearing a new, bright, shiny leather jacket. No one. That was Aventure on me, wafted by a light breeze. In the subway, I subsequently felt very uncomfortable misleading the entire compartment regarding the supposed new purchase of a leather jacket. Eau de Parfum is written on the bottle, and that is serious. I mention this only because smelling on the wrist gives little indication of the right dosage.
That is also the only thing I don't like so much: the unexcited nature of the fragrance would actually predispose it to be a daily work scent - simply "smelling good," not necessarily "interesting." It seems to be durable as well. But a scent on me that my surroundings perceive more than I do. Hmm. Otherwise, a great fragrance.
