The second gourmand from the house of Pantheon Roma is called
Trastevere and also tries to win the hearts of its wearers with a sweet dessert scent. The fragrance attempts to appeal to the senses with a significantly simpler pyramid of notes, without causing an overwhelming experience. Unfortunately, I encountered this issue with "Dolce Passione | Pantheon," which was a bit too much of a good thing.
While Dolce Passione aimed for a breakfast vibe with plenty of sweet chocolate and fruits, trying to capture a moment of indulgence, Trastevere takes a different path and wants to highlight the dish itself. A sweet and nutty dessert on an autumn day in Milan.
Dolce Passione and Trastevere do have some points of intersection. The nutty component that both fragrances share is certainly noticeable. One features hazelnut on one side, while Trastevere showcases chestnuts on the other. The integration differs, as Dolce Passione wraps the hazelnut in a lot of chocolate, whereas this fragrance shows a stronger focus on the theme.
It should be noted upfront that Trastevere does not have a significant scent progression or any peaks. Right after spraying, the full fragrance unfolds and remains true to its line throughout the entire wear.
Trastevere primarily smells of chestnut cream. Soft, nutty chestnuts processed into a thick paste and lightly sweetened. The interplay of nut and sweetness is wonderfully perceived in the nose and feels distinctly more mature than the strawberry-chocolate in Dolce Passione. Soon, a fine and lovely vanilla joins in, adding even more aroma and softness to the blend.
Somehow, I also sensed a hint of light coffee bean in the fragrance, which builds up in the deep background and slowly drifts through the streets of Milan, right past my table. Caramel announces itself in a sparkling form and gradually settles into the prepared bed of chestnut. Surprisingly, the fragrance is more accompanied by the caramel aroma, rather than absorbing the sweetness of the note itself. This keeps it pleasant and not overly sweet.
The fragrance pyramid also lists licorice. If you think of Haribo snails or salmiak pastilles, you are thankfully mistaken. There is occasionally a slight hint of sweet wood, rather dry with a woody note. Those who have tested
Oud for Happiness might recognize a similar note that is present there.
Overall, a truly more pleasant gourmand than Dolce Passione. It feels more mature, less sweet, and more wearable in my opinion. The nuttiness is beautifully crafted and repeatedly gives the impression that one must sniff at the skin.
