Fico di Amalfi La Riserva

I fucking love this fragrance i tried it today and it's simply amazing, this is probably one of the best summer scents a guy or a women can have, it's very unisex and i can say it's a safe buy. If you want to have a safe, sexy, summer vibe fragrance this is it, it opens with a strong citrus then 30 mins later you can feel the fig coming out, it's so realistic that i forgot how fig smelled haha i remembed from this fragrance alone. Amazing. When it comes to this fragrance the cons are significant, very important. It does not last long, for now i tried it 5 hours ago and i can still smell it but it's intimate sillage, I'll edit this review later when it fades, however when i sprayed this the sillage is moderate nothing too special, you'll get best performance for 2-3 hours depending on skin. And the most important part: The price... it's overprized af, it's a good fragrance for summer but i think you'll get better fragrances with better performance and longevity, but i don't blame you for buying this fragrance, it's good but it's not that strong, and it's does not last long... One of the best fragrances for summer but overprized, sillage is not strong and does not last long. So unfortunate... Update: It started to fade but the longevity on my skin is total of 10 hours which is not bad but the scale of sillage is: 2 hours of great performance, 1 hour of good performance, then it starts to fade very slowly as it dries down you'll get a total of 3 hours great/good performance then the other 7 hours will dry down and becomes a skin scent making it in total of 10 hours. Overall: 7/10.

I've always felt slightly dubious about so-called "flanker" fragrances, as many that I have tried seem to bear little resemblance to the original. I was therefore wary in my expectations of Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi La Riserva, especially as the original is a particular summer favourite of mine. Between the original and La Riserva, I find the opening not dissimilar. Both have listed notes of grapefruit and lemon, although for me these notes are not overly prominent. Instead, with both fragrances my nose goes straight to a green, fruity accord, a cross between freshly cut nettles and fig tree. However, whereas with the original that fresh opening lasts for a while, La Riserva quickly becomes richer and creamier. It moves rapidly towards notes of jammy fig, tonka bean, and what I take to be ambrettolide. La Riserva is definitely a more substantial fragrance than the original; it is heavier, projects better, and lasts longer. In some circumstances, that is exactly what I'd want, but at other times the lighter, fresher touch is preferable. La Riserva will work on a hot summer day, but perhaps it is better reserved for warm summer evenings, when it'll truly shine. Tested: 1ml decant Seasons / occasions: Warm spring and summer evenings out. Key thoughts: A stronger, creamier version of the original. Both are equally as good, but the original works better for me in the daytime, whereas La Riserva is more an evening scent for me. Overall rating: 9.5/10 Buy full bottle: Yes

Acqua Di Parma Fico di Amalfi La Riserva instantly brought me back to summers on the Mediterranean, where my grandmother grew the most beautiful fig trees. We’d spend long afternoons under the sun eating fresh figs, and this scent captures that memory perfectly, with the ripe fruit, the salty sea breeze, and the brightness of citrus in the air. The opening is radiant and joyful, with notes of mandarin, blood orange, grapefruit, and lemon that smell like pure sunshine. Then the fig takes the lead, creamy, green, and softly sweet. As it settles on my skin, tones of tonka bean and musks add warmth and depth, making it feel both comforting and quietly luxurious. What I love most is how balanced it feels. It’s fresh without being sharp, warm without being heavy, and completely unisex. It’s one of those scents that instantly lifts my mood and works just as well for daytime as it does for evening events. The packaging deserves a mention too. The deep blue glass bottle and box are stunning, simple yet refined, and perfectly capture the Mediterranean spirit that inspires this fragrance. I received this as part of an educational promotion.

I was on the hunt for a nice unisex fragrance that my male partner and I could both enjoy and I think Fico Di Amalfi is it. This reminds me of those clean and alluring unisex fragrances of the 90's. This has fresh and sparkling notes of citrus with slight hints of fig that does not leave you smelling too sweet or too spicy like a seasoning rack. This fragrance is like drinking an Aperol Spritz on the coast of Italy. This Italian fragrance is strong but balanced and fresh. You can definitely notice light scent trail in the most pleasant way but most importantly it does not smack you in the head with nausea like a side of bricks laced with herbal aftershave. It leaves an such an uplifting scent experience of sparkling citrus. This fragrance is powerful but in a sophisticated and restrained way, it does have staying power for an entire day. Aqua Di Parma has such gorgeous packaging, from the ocean blue bottle to the luxurious cylinder box. As a woman, I did enjoy this fragrance very much (it also layers nicely with florals) and partner gives it two thumbs up as well. I received this as a part of an educational promotion.

I’ve always been drawn to fragrances that tell a story, and Acqua di Parma’s Fico di Amalfi does exactly that. From the moment I first spritzed it, I was whisked away to a villa overlooking the Mediterranean, the air thick with the scent of ripening fruit and the salty spray of the sea. This isn't just a perfume; it's an olfactory vacation. The opening is an absolute burst of sunshine. The Italian Lemon and Bergamot are so bright and zesty, they immediately wake up your senses. It’s like taking a bite into a perfectly ripe citrus fruit, with that invigorating tang that’s both fresh and sophisticated. But the real star of the show, the element that truly sets this fragrance apart, is the fig. Acqua di Parma has managed to capture the fig in its most beautiful form. It’s not overly sweet or syrupy, but rather a nuanced, creamy, and slightly green aroma that feels incredibly natural. It has a velvety smoothness that balances the initial citrus burst beautifully. You can almost feel the soft, yielding texture of the fig skin.

I am a fragrance lover and citrus is one of my absolute favorite scent families, and Fico di Amalfi La Riserva from Acqua Di Parma totally delivers all of my citrus dreams! It is the most realistic citrus perfume I have ever smelled. I grow lemons and grapefruits in my yard, and this smells EXACTLY like freshly picked citrus, even with a hint of the green leaves and blossoms. I have no idea how they did it. I like that it is citrus-y without being sickly sweet–it’s like a grown-up summer scent. I think the fig in this really helps. It adds such a nice creamy background note that helps balance everything together. It’s definitely there, but I wouldn’t say this is a fig-forward scent. I think this is a pretty true unisex fragrance, it maybe leans slightly feminine but really anyone would smell great wearing this. It has nice projection, and I found it lasted over 8 hours on me. It is a unique take on citrus in my collection and I’m loving it! Note: I received this product as a part of an educational promotion.

Fico di Amalfi La Riserva is a refreshing and sophisticated take on a fig fragrance. The opening hits with bright citrus—lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit—that instantly feels clean and uplifting. As it settles, the fig note comes through, smooth and creamy but never overly sweet. It blends beautifully with soft orris and a bit of warmth from tonka and ambrettolide in the dry-down, giving it a balanced mix of freshness and comfort. This scent feels effortlessly elegant—easy to wear in any season but especially perfect for warmer days. It’s unisex, leans slightly fresh, and has a quiet confidence rather than being loud or heavy. Longevity is better than expected for a citrus-based perfume, lasting several hours with a subtle trail. The bottle itself is gorgeous, and the fragrance inside truly matches that sense of understated luxury. A modern, polished scent that feels timeless—definitely a five-star addition to any collection. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

This perfume took me some time to understand, but in the end, I decided I really enjoy it. It feels deep, mysterious, and luxurious, yet it has the strong citrus notes giving it a light more airy feel. I think having the combination of these two things make it an excellent spring and summer scent. I think it can also play well both day and night time wear. When I smell this, I think of going out to dinner, somewhere fancy, at a resort after spending a full day on the beach. That fresh, but fancy feeling of a Mediterranean vacation. Additionally, the atomizer for this bottle is excellent and very high quality. The bottle design is also fabulous, and I feel the deep yet bold blue color of the bottle actually matches the scent quite well. It also lasts a long time and has a small radius of projection, which is how I prefer my scents to wear. Lastly, this fragrance is truly unisex and I think it fits any gender well.

I think this is one of the best summer fragrances I’ve tried lately. It opens with this bright mix of citrus and fig that instantly reminds me of being on the coast somewhere warm. It feels fresh and clean, but there’s a sweetness from the fig that makes it a little different from your typical citrus scent. As it settles on my skin, it gets warmer and slightly woodier, which gives it a more sophisticated, almost relaxing vibe. I’d say it’s unisex but leans just a touch masculine. What really impressed me is how long it lasts. I can still smell it on my skin hours later, even after being out in the heat. It’s not overpowering, just consistently pleasant and refreshing. To me, this feels like a “vacation in a bottle” kind of fragrance. It's perfect for daytime, but it transitions nicely into the evening too. If you want something fresh that still feels luxurious and long lasting, this one’s worth checking out. Received as a part of an educational promotion.

I am hard to please when it comes to fragrances with dominant fig notes but Fico di Amalfi La Riserva Acqua di Parma pleasantly surprised me. It opens up with a juicy citrus (slightly bitter) blend: blood orange, mandarin, lemon, and grapefruit. Very citrusy, botanical, and warm. Fig notes come throughout mostly as the fragrance settles down on the skin. It’s creamy, earthy, and slightly sweet. Amber notes add some powdery notes to it. The dry down is slightly warmer, soapy, and a tad bit masculine but still with the fresh and zesty DNA from the initial spray. It’s a unique, genderless perfume. It’s perfectly embodied Italian essence. I can see myself wearing this fragrance in early spring, fall, and winter. The projection is outstanding and the scent lasts all day on me. One spritz is so powerful. Fico di Amalfi La Riserva Acqua di Parma is an elegant, timeless, and refined fragrance. I received this fragrance as part of an educational promotion

This is not the most expensive perfume I have ever owned. Let me tell you.. it’s worth it! From the longevity, to the projection, to the scent. It’s actually perfect and you can tell it is a very high quality fragrance. It reminds me of a sunny summer day. Just refreshing and beautiful. It lasts all day and night on my skin. It lasts even longer on my skin and clothes. It’s amazing how they make this perfume. They craft it so delicately you can tell they truly care about one product they are releasing. The bottle is also perfection. It’s a beautiful blue bottle. Looks perfect on my vanity. Even though it is so expensive I will be running out immediately to repurchase once I run out. Even though it reminds me of a beautiful summer day.. it is a perfume you can wear any time. Day or night. Summer or winter. Just smells amazing.

This one smells magical, inviting you to a land of secret whispers and unexpected charm! It's probably 70% similar to the OG, with a much more sparkly top, and a surprise transition to the warmer mid and base, and the lemon in the mid keeps the freshness going for much longer. Absolutely divine and totally worth the full bottle price. The OG does smell fresher, but is also a lot more linear, the LR is darker, more intriguing, smoother, sexier AND can smartly bridge a hot summer day into a cooler afternoon/evening! Having said this, I agree with those reviews that say this veers away from fig. This smells fantastic, but fig is just playing around the edges of the scent, so bring an open mind and be ready to have your socks knocked off! And just think about it, you really need to suffer from some sort of mental disorder to "hate" this... =)))

This perfume is honestly so good! The packaging is beautiful and really gives off a classy vibe, and the scent lasts for hours. I love that it’s strong without being too overpowering—just the right amount to make people notice. Every time I wear it, I get a bunch of compliments, which makes me love it even more. It’s one of those perfumes that make you feel confident and put together the second you spray it. I truly think it’s worth the price because it smells amazing and lasts all day. If you like bold scents that stand out, this one is definitely for you! I received this as a part of an educational promotion, but I honestly would splurge to buy this for myself because it’s that good. This perfume is pretty small in size, but I think it pretty worth it for how much we are receiving when it comes to the overall smell of a perfume.

I was not lucky enough to receive a tester of this for educational purposes - I blind bought it based on reviews and how much I loved the other two in the La Reserva line. I have spent quite a lot of time with Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo testers over the years, trying to love them but finding them a bit basic and hopelessly short lived. The La Reserva set hits the jackpot and are much more what I was hoping for. There's significantly more depth to support the sparkling citrus, which sticks around for a good length of time. And I do enjoy a perfume with a sweet fig note, ever since I first met, and became smitten by, Diptyque Philosykos. Love it! EDIT: Put this on in the hope of getting a good springtime vibe. Worked like a treat, very fresh, fruity and green. Pretty good longevity too considering all the citrus notes.

I am completely obsessed with Acqua di Parma’s Fico di Amalfi La Riserva! From the very first spray, it feels like being transported straight to the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast. The scent opens with fresh citrus and fig notes that are both bright and soothing, and as it settles, it becomes warm, soft, and incredibly elegant.The blue bottle itself is stunning luxurious and timeless, just like the fragrance inside. It lasts beautifully throughout the day without ever being overpowering. I’ve received so many compliments whenever I wear it. If you love sophisticated, coastal-inspired scents that balance freshness with a touch of sweetness, this is an absolute must-have. Acqua di Parma never disappoints, but this one feels extra special! Please go out and buy it ! I received this product in exchange for my honest review

Fico di Amalfi La Riserva Acqua di Parma is a great unisex perfume. It smells green, lightly soapy, and like a juicy grapefruit peel. There's a slight bitter note that really amps up the complexity. The fragrance is stereotypical masculine, but it's a little more fresh than just standard musk. The warmth makes it's a great daily perfume for the colder seasons. And the bright citrus notes match well for spring and summer. This scent would be a hit all year-round. As a woman who doesn't like gourmands, I really enjoyed this one. It's genderless and doesn't smell too sweet or too cologne-like. The lasting power is great. I can still smell it at the end of my work day after applying it in the morning. It's timeless and an instant classic for me. Product was received as part of an educational promotion.

I received Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi in exchange for my honest review, and wow — this fragrance completely took me by surprise. It’s clean, spicy, and peppy in the best way possible, with just the right amount of zest that makes it feel alive on the skin. It’s one of those scents that instantly lifts your mood — like sunshine and sea breeze bottled up with a little dash of spice. What I really love is how unique it is; it doesn’t smell like every other “fresh” perfume out there. There’s this beautiful balance between warmth and brightness, so it works perfectly for both men and women. It’s elegant yet effortless, and every time I wear it, someone asks what I’m wearing. Fico di Amalfi smells amazing, feels luxurious, and makes every day feel a little more special.

Received as a part of an educational promotion. This is my first time trying Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi La Riserva and let me tell you, you need this if you want to be transported to a bright citrusy, elevated and intimate place. This is going to transport you to Italy on the Amalfi coast with the brightness and citrus. The citrus notes come in opening with bursts of orange, mandarin and lemon. It starts of with a strong scent and gently mellows down upon wear This is unisex but more masculine for my nose. The longevity is pretty good and lasted around 5 hours or so on me. I love the packaging and how sophisticated it looks in blue. Definitely recommend trying this one out and adding to your collection if you like bright sophisticated scents

First time I smelled this, it felt like more masculine version of a regular Fico di Amalfi, again it reminded walking around the fig tree in the street at summer time. It is a beautiful smell. I have been constantly using and contrary to first day, I kinda smell the blood orange a lot (it feels like inoffensive One Million). Also the perfume is good, lasts very long time (maybe not overprojecting, but it’s there). Pricewise I found double the amount of the regular Fico di Amalfi, so may not be interesting for a lot of people, but since the smell clicked me a lot more than the original, happily bought and using it. I would like to see how it will perform in a summer day, currently I am using at the cold air (like a office fragrance).
