Gioiosa Profumum Roma 2023
2
Very well done creamy citrus with jasmine and coconut
First try of Profumum Roma Gioiosa, one of the house’s most recent releases (from 2023), a vibrant blend of citruses and vanilla, first and foremost, colored by coconut and jasmine as to make it less a citrus gourmand than, say, Dulcis in Fundo or even Acqua e Zucchero. It’s robust and invigorating, but elegant and smoothly blended, too. It’s rich in the style of other fragrances from the house but not over the top, and while the coconut gives it a slightly beachy/tropical vibe, it’s not a dominant aspect, just part of the overall ensemble. It’s really nice to smell something akin to others like Meringa and Dulcis in Fundo while not being redundant.
Gioiosa is priced at $319 for 100ml, the brand’s updated pricing, seemingly, from the more recent $275, and is sold at a handful of US boutiques like Luckyscent, Ministry of Scent, and Osswald. So it’s a pricey barrier to entry, but not an untenable cost per ml in the current market, in my opinion, though the travel size is perhaps a little too big and too expensive, too. Still, I love the brand.
