Baciami

This was a blind purchase after reading so many gorgeous reviews, and I'd say it lives up to the hype! But this is not everyone's cup of tea. You have to love white floral to fully appreciate this beauty, which was very risky in my case, since I have never been a white floral girl - they tend to give me headache. Upon the initial test on the first day of recieving, it immediately reminded me of Love Tuberose by Amouage, which I struggle with (not a fan of tuberose). The white floral was heavy, and it had that typical thick creamy almost oily texture from white floral. There was also a little bit fruity undertone (maybe citrus?) going on to me, but it's not listed in the pyramid. As the time passed, the amber vanilla accord was amplified more and more. The gardenia was no longer dominant. To me, I got an ambery, vanillic, lactonic experience with a delicate touch of gardenia at the background. However, I was overwhelmed because I simply didn't enjoy the white-floral-heavy opening. The next day when I woke up, the scent on my skin was devine! I can't even describ it. It's alluring, creamy and elegant, with just right amount of sweetness. I wore this later on a couple of times. The white floral is not heavy in the opening any more after letting it sit. Like people described below, I got a slight coconutty touch, but never goes to the suntan lotion direction. It does give me a tropical feel, but not a holiday vibe. It still keeps it's elegance and sophistication. The gardenia at the backgroud is so realistic and gives the amber vanilla combo a perfect finishing touch, making this creation unique enough from others. I do not find this perfume particularly sweet like some people mentioned below. It's not dessert-like sweet. If you like me who struggles with tuberose, give Baciami a go!

I absolutely love this. It smells intoxicating and addictive. I don't know if I'm just lucky to have the right chemistry, but when this sits on the skin, it blooms into the most wonderful floral-vanilla. It's a creamy white floral with a hint of something tropical. I could see there being some peach in there, maybe some coconut, ylang ylang, frangipani, and definitely sandalwood. This smells like a beautiful white flower bathing in the warm yellow sunlight. It smells like spring, brimming with optimism. This is the fragrance equivalent of falling in love. It's so addictive, I can't stop smelling it. It's also very familiar. It smells like a perfume I owned (or was exposed to very regularly) many years ago. It definitely has a vintage vibe, in my opinion. I don't know if it's something my mother used to wear, or something I used to own back in the day, but I know I've smelt this exact scent before. For me, that adds to its charm. It's familiar, warm and comforting. It smells like a hug from someone you really love. Many hours into the drydown, it does remind me of a newer fragrance, Kayali Maui Sweet Banana. But there's something in that one that gets a bit scratchy and cloying, whereas this one never does. To me, this scent is signature-worthy. It's a year-round all-occasion scent, and you probably won't find many others smelling like this because after all, how many people are willing to pay over $300 for a small bottle of perfume? I actually hate that I love it, because it's way too expensive, and I don't do dupes. So sadly I think I will be loving this one from afar...

Received a sample with purchase and the second I sprayed this on my wrist I hopped onto a website and added a full size to my cart immediately! First burst is an intoxicatingly sweet scent that my amateur nose is unfamiliar with and can’t identify, but it smells like an adult version of a seductive, semi dense cotton candy type of sweetness. It retains the sweetness as it settles. The dry down is vaguely reminiscent of D&G garden, except I found garden to be thick and sticky, with a smoothie like slightly sour yogurt lactonic note that kind of made me sick. Baciami is all the best parts of garden, except expertly blended and balanced, a creamy trail of classy sweetness with a touch of tropical vibes with some white and yellow florals hidden in the background. There’s no ylang-ylang listed but my nose tells me it’s in here and dominating any white floral that is in this. I saw someone comment that it would be perfect in the winter but my nose is associating it with a spring summer fragrance as it’s not a very cozy scent to me. Maybe this would turn cloying in the heat even though it doesn’t come off as such in the chilly spring air currently. It’s also reminding me of Mizensir Ambre magique but sniffing side by side the Ambre magique is cleaner and lacking the tropical something that’s in baciami.

Baciami smells like your favorite vanilla-floral-woody fragrance disappeared off to Italy for 6 months, then married up. She is basic in the most nice, chic way possible. Not everything needs to be complicated and comprised of 100 notes to make it a masterpiece (Roja I’m looking at you). I believe the 3 note simplicity is what makes Baciami so stunning. The gardenia is zesty, creamy and sweet. The amber is resinous, balsamic, and clean- slightly woody to the point where I swore there was Guac Wood in the blend. The vanilla is smooth and adds another layer of creaminess to the Gardenia. Baciami’s dry down just makes you want to float in your own scent cloud all day. An easy and safe buy for those who appreciate simplicity and do not need a complex floral fragrance. My only complaint is the bottle itself. I think everyone can agree that it is a statement piece, but I do not find it functional at all. It’s slick and round at the widest point which makes you feel like it will drop and shatter to pieces at any moment. I decant Baciami into an atomizer so I am not constantly picking up the bottle. I highly recommend a separate atomizer for this bottle design. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

Ooh I think I’m in love with this! I ordered samples of this and the vanilla one, both I love, but of the two this one def has more power to it. They aren’t the same by any means, but they do both carry a main vanilla component, the vanilla one obviously is more linear. This one has a spice to it, wasn’t until I read the notes and description on the website that it had gardenia which is one of my top 3 fav florals. It’s no wonder I love it so much. I get no citrus (thankfully, as I’m not into citrus and vanillas), just that rich but subtle spice, and amber notes. It leans closer to vanilla over gardenia imo, with the floral taking backstage, not overly noticeable but nice to know it’s there. I haven’t smelled anything like it before so I do find it unique, my only issue w both of the two is despite this having a bit more silage, for the price point I would prefer them to project louder, I feel like I need to spray it quite a few times to get what Id want to achieve. I think it’s a gorgeous frag, and could see myself wearing it all year round, though I do feel the cooler months might suit it best. No fruitness, no nonsense, mature and elegant, I really enjoy this one!
