A Bit of Everything
This fragrance won't let me go. I've been testing it repeatedly for a few days and am going back and forth about whether I need it. This Caldo Fruttato would have never made it onto my wishlist. The name alone doesn't appeal to me. It sounds like a maltol fruit salad, but here we actually have something quite different.
A dear friend, who, like me, is a big fan of Cašmir by Chopard, sent me a sample of Caldo Fruttato. Regarding the top note, I must agree with all my predecessors. It is certainly not simple. The black currants come at you with a sourness, accompanied by sweet-sour strawberry compote. Not the good stuff from grandma or aunt, but rather a modern, healthy version sweetened with agave syrup. But it doesn't take long for this fragrance to turn and reveal notes that aren't even listed here. Jasmine and vanilla take the lead, but in my opinion, there's much more here than just fruit, cinnamon, and ylang-ylang.
I smell warm resin notes and amusingly, I don't first think of Cašmir, but rather of Il Profumo's Macadam. It's certainly not as resinous as my sadly discontinued treasure from Signorina Casoli, but it definitely offers a decent portion of resins. I'm sure there's myrrh in here, as well as a fine balsamic amber note.
This beautiful development of the fragrance, however, works, as so often, only on the skin. On warm skin. When I test this perfume on paper, the sweet-sour fruit components remain in the foreground, and these fine resins hide away. On paper, it actually reminds me a bit of the first minutes of Profumum Roma's Meringa, before the fine, velvety vanilla sets in. In the background, it has a festive-spicy scent. I mentally bite into a gingerbread that tastes really nice and juicy. That’s fine too, but it’s almost too edible for me.
At this moment, the fragrance has unfortunately already retreated significantly on the skin. I can still sense how my arm smelled not long ago. The sillage of this Italian is also rather subdued. No comparison to Cašmir, Macadam, Meringa & Co.
Yes, it has something of so many fragrances that I really like. In the base, I also recognize similarities with Caldo Gourmand from the same house, which was also part of my collection for a while, and I can also sniff a bit of Dianne Brill. However, I would have expected just a tiny bit more punch from such a spicy fragrance.
I will continue to test it for a few more days, taking a sniff here and there, and then see if something can develop between us.
A big thank you to Snowy for the testing opportunity.
