The Italian Sugar Shock!
At the beginning - a trigger warning. The risk of spontaneously developing diabetes increases by a factor of 100 with this opulent perfume! You have to like it sugary here. This scent is named exactly as it smells: sugar water!
This fragrance truly embodies Rome. The scent is everything Italy has to offer in desserts. The scent IS Rome. I was there just last year - you encounter this maximum sweetness in nearly every café, gelateria, or Roman bakery. Therefore - congratulations to the perfumer! Perfectly captured.
The scent starts with a sledgehammer. Vanilla and orange blossom immediately flood your olfactory organ. You have no chance. Once this fragrance is on your skin - it doesn’t go away. For a very, very long time. The fruits that dive into this sugary vanilla milk shortly after don’t change that at all.
The scent is not complex at all. What you get at the beginning - stays until the end. And the end is far off here. This fragrance would need a gun license regarding its sillage and longevity.
For me, it’s a mystery how this scent gained the reputation of being a good summer companion. It may be that the inclined fan of the DNA was misled by the orange blossom into this misconception. That’s just my opinion, but this DNA annoys me to no end on hot days. I love it very much in autumn and winter - in summer it makes me aggressive because it feels like you can’t breathe.
I love this scent - and yet - we haven't become true friends so far. I can’t even say exactly why we are still so reserved with each other. I love vanilla, I love gourmands, I love sweetness. But somehow - it just hasn’t clicked between us. What a shame! Because I want to like it.
I will now check my blood sugar after the test and put the bottle back in my perfume cabinet and admire it from a distance again.
Who knows, maybe it will be love at second or third sight.
