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.
