Audens (formerly Numero II)

All 3 of these scents are a journey. I sprayed them all on tester strips first, and they had transformed significantly each time I smelled them. There's absolutely a Jeroboam-esque effect going on here where it smells different with each wearing, and likely to each nose that smells it. With that said, it seems that this one changes the least of the 3 so far. Número II started off very Santal 33 and quickly moved to TF Oud Wood/Thameen Carved Oud, before settling comfortably in Xerjoff Alexandria II territory while retaining a punchy, citric character that the above scents don't have... I suspect it's an olfactory side effect of the blood orange and saffron. Oud isn't listed but this smells like every bit of a high quality oud fragrance to me. Whether it's an illusion or a secret ingredient is up for debate, but this is most likely full bottle worthy if you like Alexandria II.

One of my all time favorite signatures for the winter and best finds in 2023. I trust Fragrancelesques taste and blindly bought it...oh man she knows what she is talking about. Here is what I think: In its entirety, Adamo Numero 2 is like a perfectly tailored suit: classic, yet never boring. The warm, spicy notes blend seamlessly with the leathery undertones, creating a scent that's rounded, full, and impeccably balanced. It's not just a fragrance; it's a statement of elegance and timelessness, leaving a trail of warmth and sophistication in its wake. Compliments factor 10/10 perform 10/10 scent profile and uniqueness 10/10. The journey from opening is seductive in every way... definitely signature worthy!

@Medellinin said everything excellently. I strongly agree with most of it, but I just don't feel the connection with OudWood. ( sry but nope ) My opinion on this perfume creation is that it is truly flawless. After studying this fragrance, I discover its transitions and its changing direction, which is more than surprising and pleasant to follow. Yes, Halfeti could be mentioned here as a kind of original case (orientation) at the very opening and initial development. But later? This all ends with some admixture of Alexandria II. Very unique, very magically intertwined and very divine. I would say this is a personal collection perfume for special occasions.

This fragrance seamlessly marries sophistication with warmth, crafting a lasting impression that exudes both captivation and elegance. NUMERO II is, ideal for any occasion, stems from a unique amalgamation of notes. Throughout the day, the fragrance gracefully evolves, unveiling diverse layers of complexity. The delightful citrus tones of blood orange and bergamot blend seamlessly with a subtle touch of spice, artistically enriched by the grounding and earthy essence of patchouli, musk, and amber. The result is a multifaceted experience that lingers in the memory.

I agree with Medellinin. I definitely get the oud wood vibe. I'm going the route of I get that from the earthy saffron, the green creamy woodiness of the sandalwood and a sharp scent coming from the pepper. I'm no expert though, but all in all Numero II is a great fragrance. Probably the best one for a warm spring day or hot summer night out of the first 3

Spicy, leathery and powdery... I was almost certain the spice was cardamom, but it turns out it's not. Black pepper and saffron probably created that effect (and saffron is also what gives the leather nuance) I was hoping to get more blood orange in the opening, but there's no citrus punch. That note is slightly tangy and doesn't stick out in the composition at all. I'm usually very wary of cashmere, but here again it's fully in harmony with the composition. I found this very similar to Mr Blazing Sam, but you could call this the long-lasting version of it. It also reminded me of Papilefiko (which is more like a cardamom dessert and sweet), so the DNA isn't unique, but it's a pretty impressive type of DNA... And among its counterparts, this is the most successful because its powder is more prominent and it has a more natural feel. Tag(s): spicy, powdery, bold, rich, dark

خیلی بد بو و نا مانوس ارزش خرید دکانت هم ندارد

I absolutely love the opening. It's bright and dry simultaneously, so interesting but classy. Projects but isn't overpowering. The dry down on me is awful. Clifton from Adamo did the same thing. I think it's the sandalwood. It has a such a sharp and pungent quality to it, like the unpleasant sensation and astringency in dodgy public bathrooms. The longer I wear the perfume the more I dislike it. Such a shame as the opening was fantastic.

Another huge love from Adamo. A non-linear ultra seductive and sexy, yet such a smooth woody fragrance with a blood orange that isn’t mouthwatering but rather dried. The saffron is just complimentary, it’s not a focus of this fragrance which is what I love since it just adds a little something extra to destroy the otherwise too powdery smooth woody feel. It’s definitely unisex and since I love unisex woody fragrances, I love this sample too. This fragrance is a true olfactory journey. It changes over time and becomes better and better. Full bottle worthy for men who love head turners that smell grown up, elegant and intriguing.

I really like the opening - citrusy, soapy and peppery, with a touch that reminds me a little of Kalan. That doesn’t last long on my skin though; it quickly shifts into a peppery sandalwood, especially when applied from a small sample spray. After a few minutes, it settles into a musky sandalwood base with an earthy, almost soil-like quality. It’s interesting, but I’m not entirely convinced it justifies the hefty price tag, at least in my 2-cent opinion.

درود من سمپل این عطر رو خریداری کردم و بعد تست متوجه شدم که چقدر شبیه عطر گرلن لهوم ادوپرفیوم هستش، همچنین توی نتها فکر کنم نت تنباکو میس شده، چون واقعا برای من وایب تنباکویی داشت. البته شامه ها متفاوت هست، Thanks fragrantica.com

I have a full bottle missing only one spray full presentation for sale. 120 bucks takes it. CONUS only
