We have already smelled this perfume

It's Boss The Scent Elixir, but sweeter, leaning toward a baking vanilla, peppery, and lasting and projecting less. Yes, it's also cheaper, but you expect more, at least I do.

I was expecting maybe that overt yet nonexistent lemon to accompany that sweetness. Or maybe I was expecting it to be more metallic and not so earthy. Or maybe much more amber. I was expecting a lot from something with such a cool bottle, but so-so. Hey, it smells good; it's not a challenging scent, one of those where you have to explain the Cambodian oud notes and weird things like that, but it's missing something more.

Its evolution is: pepper, some licorice perhaps, sandalwood, and a lot of sweetness and earthiness. As for the lava note, well, it gives a warm sensation, but luckily or unfortunately, it doesn't smell like sulfur. That pepper projects heat for about 2 hours at most, then comes down to skin-deep heat for exactly 9 hours.

In short: a cheaper, caffeine-free alternative to what's already out there. As a gift, you're sure to be a hit with your nephew.

Big cap, nothing behind it?

The special prize for the most oversized flacon lid in the mainstream sector undoubtedly goes to Primo by Trussardi. One wonders whether this is a waste of resources or added value, as the cap could easily be used as a drinking cup afterwards. But chic is something else.

But what about the essentials, the fragrance? Primo begins with an almost viscous, warm, sweet eruption that seems to swallow you whole. Maple syrup has a rather caramel-like quality, whereas lava is olfactorily indefinable for me, but sounds very interesting in the DuPy. What surprises me is a slightly tart, nutty note at the beginning, reminiscent of walnuts. Really unusual, although the question arises as to how intentional and target group-oriented this passage is.

Shortly afterwards, Primo returns to the usual mushy sweetness with hints of tonka bean and heavy woody notes. The fragrance cannot speak without synthetics, but this is not a negative factor.

To sum up, I would say that Primo's heart note reminds me of a mixture of Eros Flame and Centaurus, while the base note drifts towards Spicebomb. Personally, I'm not that tempted by the volcano, but younger people in particular should celebrate it. Perhaps Trussardi's image has flattened somewhat over time, or maybe it's due to the lack of presence in perfumeries or the ignorance of influencers to date - or the not entirely coherent overall package.

Almost right.

Nope, unfortunately I don't have a song for you.
Although... Something by Volbeat would probably fit. Pop x hard rock.
I don't like the band, that's why.
A bit of a shame. I'm not a huge Trussardi fan, perfume-wise. The first one in the snakeskin bottle was really good. Other than that? I've forgotten about it.
So. Won 100ml at BIPA. Didn't open it. Went to test it.
Boys and girls, you really were so close to good. See title.
Why maple syrup? Just to be original? The scent would have been really cool if it weren't for that penetrating sweet note that lingers like a whiny little kid almost to the end, then FINALLY fades towards the end. Only then does the fragrance become interesting. Lava? Yes, ok. All good. Smoky, spicy notes fight against the sweetness early on, initially in vain. Only towards the end do they destroy the exuberant sweetness.
What a pity. This could actually have been pretty cool with moderate smoke, beautiful chypre spice and modern interpretations of old skool elements.
But no. You have to cater to Gen Z/Alpha. Ergo? Sweet.
Too bad about that. It would almost have been really cool. If you had left out the damn sweetness.
Almost right. Too bad ‍️
