Linari ANGELO DI FIUME is a very sweet floriental perfume, with much more caramel than flowers, in fact. Although it is classified in some places as unisex, I'd be very surprised if many gents took a liking to this. I'd even go so far as to say that this fragrance bumps up against the limit of acceptable sweetness for many gals as well. The composition seems similar to a celebrity scent intended for teens, except that the quality seems a lot better than most of those.
Aside from the sweet caramel, I smell a fairly big dose of benzoin, which is always a good thing in my book, along with the sandalwood-vanilla combination so often featured in designer floriental perfumes. Here, I grant, it smells fresh, not sour or stale or synthetic, and it seems to last forever (I eventually took a bath...).
In spite of its modest virtues, all in all, when all is said and sniffed, ANGELO DI FIUME (River Angel??? Perhaps the name is a reference to Thierry Mugler ANGEL, and this is a river of caramel???) seems to me to be redundant, and I cannot imagine very many people wanting to buy such a scent at the asking price, unless they have become smitten with the fancy bottle, in which case I'd recommend seeking out one of the more distinctive perfumes of this line.
