I had read about this fragrance before, but I thought: phew orange blossom cocoa vanilla, that will be too sweet, and immediately dismissed the idea of testing it… however, I would like to explain how I ended up buying 100ml :) :
I was at my trusted perfumery, with the thought: I would like something with vanilla today!
Dulcis in Fundo and
Vanitas were immediately too sweet for me! Good but sweet! Do you know
Battito d'Ali? I said no, spray it on me! He gifted me an 18ml traveler bottle! I sprayed it again and sat down on a bench in the old town! Well, I thought… not bad!! I was sitting there at 28 degrees, and I could hear the green leaves starting to dry (end of August) and suddenly got a wonderfully deep-rooted breeze in my nose through the wind… I knew right then and there that I was exactly where I needed to be, I didn’t have to search anymore and could finally say: everything is beautiful! Your life is grand and you have everything to be happy! This fragrance is like a meditation in my limbic system: a warm orange cream that is not too sweet, unites with the warming rays of vanilla! A slightly dry cocoa that is not defatted adds something cozy and grounding! It is creamy fresh, slightly sweet, and like sunscreen all in one! Now I have 100ml and will probably always have 100ml. It is more delicate than the other Profumums! It resonates more calmly and a bit reserved! I think it fits in every season: I especially look forward to wearing it when in November the fog hangs in the trees and the last leaf still tells stories of summer!
