Almond-led sweet medley gourmand, dark and dense
Vivamor Parfums Ultimate Aphrodisiac is a sweet gourmand blend featuring notes of almond, rum, cocoa, vanilla, and coffee, likely the sweetest fragrance from the house in the initial catalogue and a fair nod to gourmand lover. Almond is the most noticeable note, but after that, the other notes are in harmony, varying some the sweet to the very sweet to the dark. So there’s a nutty-forwardness that reminds me a bit of Addiction Absolu while nonetheless leaning more heavily gourmand. Overall, it’s a strong gourmand blend that gourmand lovers should try, and provides an air of sophistication that makes it (in my estimation) a bit more welcoming to non-gourmand lovers. It’s not among my very favorites of the house so far but I quite like it and would be happy to wear it, particularly in cooler weather, for which it feels appropriate. It’s of a quality similar to other offerings from not only Vivamor but also its sibling company Navitus, which also has a plethora of gourmand and gourmand-like offerings.
Like the rest of the line, Ultimate Aphrodisiac is priced at $155, is in extrait concentration, and is sold not only via the house site but also Perfumology. I’ve said it before but I think this pricing is quite good, particularly considering that the longtime 100ml Navitus pricing was $195. Moreover, it’s dense and rich and performs well.
