Perverso

As soon as it's sprayed, Perverso bursts onto the skin like a freshly baked caramel cake: warm, enveloping, and utterly mouthwatering. It's a gourmand opening that grabs your attention instantly, sweet yet already hinting at a toasted complexity beneath. Within minutes, its presence becomes impossible to ignore. At the bar, I received several compliments. Everyone who came near me wanted to know what fragrance I was wearing. Many detected a strong note of licorice, intense and unmistakable. The car I drove to work was completely saturated with its scent, transformed into a chamber of pure fragrance. A curious moment: I had lunch with a friend who apologized for not having changed after work, thinking the strong scent around him came from himself. In reality, it was Perverso that filled the space, and the scent was unmistakably coming from me. The sillage is among the most powerful I’ve ever encountered. However, around the fifth hour, it begins to soften. The perfume becomes less overwhelming while still noticeable. After about nine hours, it weakens further, reaching a more manageable and intimate stage. During the dry-down, Perverso shifts gears. Unexpected salty nuances begin to surface, subtle but present. It’s as if the grey amber, listed in the fragrance pyramid, starts to come through. A marine, slightly animalic undertone creates a fascinating sweet-salty contrast. It reminds me unmistakably of salted caramel: rich, addictive, and unusual. As the scent continues to evolve, woody notes reminiscent of hazelnut start to emerge. A warm, toasted sweetness with a delicate, nutty-woody character replaces the sugary top notes. The roasted facet gradually fades, leaving a smoother, more velvety base. With time, Perverso only gets better. In my opinion, it becomes increasingly pleasant, more refined, more intriguing, as if settling into a personal, unmistakable olfactory signature. However, after 12 to 13 hours, the scent on skin becomes very faint. On clothing, it lingers a bit longer, but its strength can be considered spent.

I am trying this wobderful perfume right night and i am just un LOVE with It. The opening is very very intense and sweet. Withount having seen the notes i thought un roast coffee mixed with cocoa and biscuits. It made me think un perfumes like chocolate greedy by montale but with a Big load of coffee and maybe something resinous like incense. But after a while It begins yo changes, becoming drier and smokier and at this point i CAME here, watched the notes and... Yes! It really fotos all... Hazelnuts are very noticeable, but not the sweet vibe of the dried fruits not the smoky smell of the riasted ones. The cocoa is still present but puré and dry cocoa and the resinous vibe of the styrax is every time more presente. The tobacco and the rum id very noticeable and the biscuits smell is didsapeared at all and now i can only feel a little sweet vibe in the background which can be the caramel, but again a burnt one, like the one which people put over the flan or the ice creams. The lo gevity and sillage is good but It not a very versatile perfume. I think only weareable ar night and better with fresh weather. Good for clubbing and night eventos. Very different yo other perfumes i have tried. Of course before ir later It Will have a place on my collection.

Perverso is the fragrance from Baruti that was most interesting to me when I first smelled some of the line at Perfumology in Philadelphia, clearly a dark, sweet, spicy, semi-gourmand from the onset, and I’d be remiss to omit any of the interesting notes: rum, roasted nut, cocoa powder, caramel fudge, fig, tobacco leaf, styrax, musk, and ambergris. Most of all, I get the roasted nut, caramel fudge, tobacco leaf, and styrax, a sweet and spicy blend that leans slightly sweeter but clearly with a lot of non-sweet components, too. Perverso is in the vein of a Slumberhouse fragrance, with its dark juice, and scent characterized by a sort of sweet/spicy but not entirely gourmand mix. It’s not quite as sweet nor resinous as, say, Bruno Fazzolari Ummagumma, instead, rather, a mix of the gourmand elements crossed with tobacco and styrax. So bits of Slumberhouse Jeke and Ore, perhaps. It’s a dense extrait de parfum, with exceptional performance, and is priced at $140 for 30ml, sold at great boutiques like Perfumology and Tigerlily Perfumery, both of which offer spray samples. Overall, it’s great, even if it does not rank among the very best in this category like some of the Slumberhouse offerings, and I definitely recommend trying it out if you like those types of fragrances, as I surely do. 8 out of 10

For me, this is less of a fragrance to wear out and more of an experience to savor. I had to have it - not to smell pretty or make a statement, but to open the bottle and take in its richness, or dab a little on the back of my hand to evoke something deep and emotional. To me, Perverso is nearly perfect: a bold yet beautifully balanced blend of hazelnut, cocoa, musk, and smoky undertones. It reminds me unmistakably of salted caramel - rich, addictive, and completely unique. As it develops, the sweetness mellows into warm, woody hazelnut tones. There’s a subtle toasted quality that gives way to a soft, velvety base, never loud but always present. With time, it becomes more refined and intimate, almost like it settles into your skin as a quiet signature, distinctive without ever trying too hard. My husband and son both enjoy wearing it, and I love catching traces of it on them - it smells incredible.

I rcvd a sample of this fragrance with a purchase I made. What amazed me about the fragrance was how the scent stood out amongst all the other samples I had in my sample tray when passing by. A strong nutty scent, with a lil cacao note and a faint sweetness. I don't pick up the rum and tobacco note but I know it's there because this fragrance wouldn't be a powerhouse without it. I tried it out with my fiance and nothing negative was said and believe me, she is very opionated with fragrances she doesn't like. With that said, I'm very happy I picked up this fragrance, for two sprays is all you need and it will last. Perfect for winter nights, bars, hanging out with the fellas, cigar rooms etc. I'm definitely considering a backup bottle. I know this fragrance is not for everyone but for me, its perfect!
