Dulcis in Fundo Profumum Roma 2001

I can say with my chest that I am a citrus gourmand lover. I love a good sweet and creamy lemon / citrus / citric floral. But gourmands aren’t always appropriate for warm weather, and especially where I live (dirty NYC). I prefer florals and citruses for the summer, but sometimes I do crave a sweet treat in the heat. And that’s where a scent like Dulcis In Fundo comes in.

Dulcis In Fundo is a very simple, linear, citrus vanilla. The vanilla here is sweet, creamy, and fluffy. It’s delicate, but also strong and kind of decadent? Mixed with the citruses makes for an even more delicious and inviting dessert like fragrance. Almost like a lemon flan! It’s bright, kind of foody, but still smells like a perfume. And I absolutely love it. It sticks very well to fabrics and layers gorgeously with many other kinds of scents. I especially love the oily formulas of Profumum Roma’s scents cause you just know you are getting amazing quality, and the scents will always perform well. This one isn’t a crazy projector, but it will stay with you all day.

While I wouldn’t douse myself in this to go out for a summer brunch, it’s definitely a scent I won’t shy away from when it’s hot out. This is very much a “summer weekend in the Amalfi Coast” kind of scent. I can’t wait to see how the vanilla deepens as my bottle continues to age. Gourmand lovers, you need this!
