Confetto Profumum Roma 1996

Hi everyone,

I am a total fragrance fan and always on the lookout for new great scents (otherwise I probably wouldn't be here :D)

Profumum Roma has been available in a high-end perfumery here in Cologne for a few years now, but I only recently became interested in it.

I tested all the bestsellers and after one spritz on my skin I was very, very sure I wanted to take Dolce Acqua with me! But I gave it a 1-day sample on the back of my hand and headed off to work... where I was in for a shock: 3 colleagues independently told me that I smelled like woodruff flimm... And as it happens, this association was burned into my mind and from that point on, unfortunately, it was over with marzipan tarts, I only smelled the flimm -.-

Yesterday I also went back to the perfumery I trust and wanted to take another closer look at Zucchero, Vanitas and Confetto, Zucchero and Confetto landed on my skin, unfortunately Vanitas wasn't it, I have extreme problems with woody fragrances and this immediately radiated from me, too bad...

The Zucchero was too much even for me as a sweet tooth and was sold out 5 minutes before I arrived... I don't regret this, as it seemed too artificial on my skin without depth etc., simply a fragrance that you spray on but which doesn't seem to connect...

Let's finally get to Confetto: On the sweet pink feather rather unimpressive for me... On the skin after a few minutes a pleasure. What I described above was the exact opposite with Confetto: the fragrance melted into my skin...

If I hadn't read here beforehand that it is often compared to Hypnotic Poison, I wouldn't really have made the connection and believe me: I know Hypnotic Poison inside out, it was my signature for YEARS, even if that was a long time ago...

So where does this almost twin comparison come from? Of course, the fragrance notes play a big role here, and I can also understand the "vibe", but HP has developed over the years into a pure sugar water for me, which comes across as very clumsy....

ALL that is not Confetto, it has so much depth, is absolutely classy, creamy and anything but clumsy, a real non-scent and you notice that pretty quickly with the finesse and sophistication!

Everything has already been said about the H&S, a cracker!
So after a few hours of testing, I decided to let it move in :)

At home, of course, I made a direct comparison between the fragrances... And no, no.... As I said, the direction, the vibe, everything is understandable... Unfortunately, Dior lacks pretty much everything that Confetto brings with it. In terms of quality, there are small worlds between them, even in terms of money... Confetto gives me back what Dior lost after around 18 years... I no longer know what the original fragrance smelled like, but the one today has rather little to do with Confetto and even less to do with the HP of that time.

I will still test the Vanitas and Fundo on my skin on my next visit ;-)

Feel free to give feedback and comment diligently, I would be delighted :))
