Exciting

I once read a review of this fragrance and coulnd't find the better word than "excitement". The combination and the way the ingredients flow and compliment each other is just excited: cedar, amber, and oud. That is what I feel most. There is also sandalwood but not too noticeable for me. It is energizing and makes me "do something": catch the moment, do something unplanned. Maybe go to Rome, and test another fragrances of this great atelier? :)

When No One Dares...

Perfumes can excitingly unite opposites, merging like Yin and Yang into something that feels foreign yet so close. This is often the case with lovers. One partner may bring more passion, creativity, and spontaneity to the relationship, while the other contributes more calm, structure, and organizational talent. Eroticism would be as warming without the play of dominance and devotion as a candle in the Arctic. For this symbiosis to succeed harmoniously, both courage and a willingness to compromise are necessary.

When a fragrance receives the name 'Amante' - "Beloved," "Lover" - one undoubtedly expects, especially since it is not as linguistically clear as the German translations, those very contrasts. Unfortunately, the creation by Profumum Roma feels like two people who do not dare to approach each other. If no one is willing to take the first step and everyone is too hesitant, nothing will come of it - we have all likely experienced this painful reality at least once. Amante feels just as indecisive and reserved. The violet-lavender combination is certainly somewhat unusual, but in my view, it is less successful, as violet has a waxy quality for me and thus does not blend well with the slightly spicy-powdery lavender. Right from the start, which I would consider bright but less fresh, the dry cedarwood (thankfully, pencil associations are only to be sensed) makes itself known. An exceedingly subtle, resinous, and rather light oud, which does not come across as animalistic, joins in over time, and sandalwood adds a bit more warmth. Overall, the dryness of the woods is enhanced by a slightly powdery facet, although the floral and almost green nuances counteract this. However, instead of forming really strong contrasts of light and dark, floral and woody, everything feels extremely shallow. I search in vain for the supposed strength of oud and woods.

I can therefore only recognize very slight similarities to fragrances like Black Afghano and its scent twins Fortis and Black Oud, with the latter also appearing similarly subtle to me. The projection of Amante is quite persistent, but it does not leave a dark scent trail. Overall, it fits best in spring, late summer, and autumn. Therefore, I also see the dilemma here that neither a clear statement with a confident appearance has been created, nor a comforting cuddle scent. Amante is unisex less in the sense of a symbiosis of typically feminine and masculine accents, but rather due to a lack of decisiveness. In the portfolio of Profumum Roma, there are many good, natural, but mostly only linear fragrances, and therefore this one does not evoke any enthusiasm.

Nothing fits together here

Goodness, that such a thing exists: A Profumum Roma with development. The opening is light and airy and somehow familiar. Something is triggered in me. I know it. Did I accidentally pour in "Dambrosia"? Somehow the Profumum DNA is very present. The lavender brings in the hint of a new idea. I like it very much and I remember wonderful spring days. Digging in the garden, sun on my skin, afternoon tea, ice cream, and freedom of thought. However, after 30 minutes, a completely different scent intrudes on this daydream. Where has the lightness gone? One might think the sun has set. Suddenly, abruptly, and without replacement. A sticky darkness hangs over my flower pots, I suddenly feel heavy-hearted and sad. Because again a memory arises, a dark, long-past one, within me. Black... Black... Black Afgano. Dark days, storms of the soul, fireplace and withdrawal. The two souls in the bottle awaken two opposing feelings in me. Too much for my delicate nature.
I am sure it will find its followers here, as the wearable B.Afgano variant is just about suitable for year-round use. For me, the scent is neither fish nor fowl and thus somehow exhausting. It certainly does not satisfy the longing for sun and warmth.

Leather-like violet leaf on abrasive lab wood & sour rockrose resin. Lavender & oud are secondary, BA comparison is understandable.

The beloved with the summery lavender bouquet is a rather dark fellow. Despite the warm wood, it pulls me into deep, soft darkness.

A perfect mix was created here. Black Oud + Black Afgano, enticingly scented with violet and lavender, THIS is what the beauties of the night wear.

PR incorporates Oud for the first time (resinous, dark, mystical), brightened by violet & lavender. A brilliant move, Oud in a pleasantly different way!
