Customer Announcement: "The Little 150 Perfume" wants to be picked up by its parents from the "Ambre 114" in the Children's Paradise
So, you are a kind of anniversary scent, a fragrant homage to 150 years of united Italy?!
Certainly a good, albeit not easily implementable idea, to launch a corresponding fragrance for such an occasion.
So how does Italy smell? Well, besides summer, sun, sand, and sea, the Tuscany with its typical scents immediately comes to mind.
In my opinion, the top note of 150 Parfum fully does justice to that (bergamot, orange, and violet smell very fresh and not synthetic at all). Unfortunately, this wonderful top note disappears very quickly, making way for mainly patchouli, amber, tonka bean, vanilla, and musk. From that moment on, the scent shifts from fresh to powdery. And it remains unchanged for many hours.
So that was the homage to which country again? Oh yes, Italy... For me, the name and background do not really fit the scent that was supposed to be conveyed.
Now, to return to the title of my comment: I would say that 150 Parfum could be the fresher and lighter version of Ambre 114 from Histoires de Parfums, almost the perceived EDT to the EDP (although 150 Parfum is also an EDP). The 150 Parfum does not have the depth, warmth, and impact of an Ambre 114, but rather seems a bit pale in comparison.
If I did not know (and enjoy using) Ambre 114, I would probably find 150 Parfum much, much better.
150 Parfum is truly not a bad perfume, but in this case, one would have to shell out €180 for 100 ml EDP, while for the extra scent from HDP, one would only have to pay €145 for 120 ml EDP (and would also get a travel spray included).
Viva Italia!
