Dolce Amalfi

A total "Blind-Buy" SCOOORE! I am so glad that I FINALLY pulled the trigger on this fragrance bc I was torn after reading that this has "Mediocre performance" which it DOES NOT! Dolce Amalfi has really good lasting-power (7 to 8 hours on skin) but does get somewhat close to the skin after hour 2 Id say, but thats with only like 4 spritzes and I can see this being quite potent with just a few more sprays. When I'd Read/Heard that Dolce Amalfi smelled like Wrigley's Juicy Fruit! Gum I was super intrigued to say the least bc Ive always loved the taste of Juicy Fruit Gum and while no other gum or candy taste like JuicyFruit, Dolce Amalfi really does manage to capture nuances of that classic bubble gum, although Im sure that's NOT what Xerjoff was actually going for. Again, I say "Nuances" bc to my nose Dolce Amalfi doesn't smell exactly one to one like "Juicy Fruit Gum" as it wears much, much more Spicey vs Fruity because the Cloves Note is very prominent here and is almost slightly "Medicinal" which I actually love about this dna, but can see how that slightly "Medicinal Clove" can be really devisive. Good thing is that the Medicinal aspect is only in the opening and completely dissapears within 5 minutes or so. This also transitions and gets quite Vanillic the further it goes into the dry-down while remaining softly spicey which is why I can't emagine Dolce Amalfi being worn comfortably during Spring/Summer like so many YouTube reviews claim it can! To me its just NOT Fruity enough for a Spring/Summer wear and is why I feel this is much better suited for Fall/Winter like 100% and the Fruity nuances just serve to make this dna a bit more "Playful" while still remaining quite "mature smelling". Dolce Amalfi is 100% Unisex imo, has great performance although its not "Beastmode" imo, but does have the potential to be with 7 to 8 spritzes. A (Rare from me) 9 outta 10, unique take on a Gormand and tottaly worth the $150 I paid for a 3.4oz larger bottle. I love this scen and highly recommend it for folks 25 and up, plus the bottle and packaging are quite beautiful! Indeed! Thanks to whomever took the time to read my thoughts on this awesome Xerjoff!.. CHEERS!😁

Persistant? YES! "BeastMode" NEGATIVE! When folks claim Dolce Amalfi smells like Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Gum, they are SPOT ON, but the scent is much spicier with a heavy, GORGEOUS, slightly medicinal-Clove note which helps it lean more "Unisex" rather than Feminine and also makes it more suited for folks say, 25 years old and up. Also, the scent is quite linear which is fine by me bc I don't get tired or bored of smelling it. With around 6 to 7 spritzes Dolce Amalfi does project "Well" for the first hour to hour and a half, then I'm left with a moderate, yet very persistant sillage. Btw, the "Medicinal" aspect wears off quickly within 15 to 20 minutes as it begins to dry-down. This scent does last atleast 8 to 9 hours on skin creating a very pleasant yet soft, lingering scent bubble and does lasts a day or two on clothes. What I really appreciate about Dolce Amalfi besides the gorgeous scent is that I dont go nose-blind to it, and although its NOT a hugh projection beast, I catch whiffs of it through out the entire day. As for right now, Dolce Amalfi is my all time FAVE "Fruity Scent" and I give it a 9 outta 10! I do sometimes wish it projected a bit more, but if that were the case I may have been going nose-blind to it and therefore would'nt be able to enjoy smelling it throughout the day which means that it may just have THEE PERFECT amount of projection so that I/We can enjoy the wear vs only those around us being able to enjoy (or dislike) how we smell. My first Xerjoff and Im SO GLAD that Dolce Amalfi was the first from this house in my collection! I LOVE Dolce Amalfi! P.S. The Packaging and Bottle are TOP NOTCH! Veeery nice! Thanks to whomever took time to read this.. CHEERS!

Dolce Amalfi is my favourite fall fragrance to wear from my Xerjoff collection. It’s such an addictive, beautiful amber, resinous, warm spicy, fruity perfume having as star notes cloves and quince. This and Pas ce Soir have opened my eyes to how beautiful this underrated fruit can make a fragrance smell. It’s the top tier fruit in my eyes! Anyway, back to Dolce Amalfi. This is completely unique to anything else I have ever tried. To me smells like sweet, candied orange/apple/quince dessert with cloves and cardamom. The cloves here are unmistakable. It has a wonderful, fragrant almost pear like opening that stays out for the whole life of the fragrance and then it gets blended into vanilla, ambery notes, a bit of musk and cedar wood. The incense is used here mostly to add warmth to the blend, I don’t detect it specifically as a standalone note. But it’s masterfully blended with the base notes: vanilla, tonka beans, myrrh, cloves and tolu balsam. It has a strong, warm, cozy feel to it, this could be an ideal candidate for holidays or winter festivities as well. I associate Dolce Amalfi mostly with fall because of the colour of the bottle, that warm, orange-brown shade makes me instantly think of the yellow leaves falling off the trees. The only downside of Dolce Amalfi is the moderate longevity and projection. It lasts for 5-6 hours on me and projects for about an hour and a half. Beautiful fragrance, deliciously complex, with heavy gourmands facets. Unique and fun in the same time. If you’re into quince, this one is a must have!

Utterly gorgeous, luminous, juicy, spicy, resinous fragrance that is pure magic on my skin. It does have bubblegummy (yes, at the surface level it does smell like Juicy Fruit, albeit the most luxurious Juicy Fruit you could possibly imagine) ice creamy shades, but only a smidge - this is a complex fragrance with facets that reveal themselves only after repeated wearings. My first few wearings were dominated by the fruity quince, apple, vanilla, and spices (still a potent and delicious combination), but now the incense and tolu balsam stick out to my nose, making this an even more beautiful and nuanced composition. One thing has remained prevalant throughout my testing of Dolce Amalfi, however, and that is a lovely vanilla - silky, buttery smooth - that leaves an irrestibile aroma in its wake. I am plowing headlong through my 5ml decant and will without doubt be coughing up the cowries for at least a 30ml bottle, only around $100. As far as I know, of the Casamorati line only Dolce Amalfi and Mefisto are available in 30ml, and as much I love fragrances like 1888, Fiero, Regio, and Italica, my wallet cringes at their price tags. But for ~$100 at 30ml, I can still own this beautiful fragrance from the oh-so-wonderful but oh-so-expensive house of Xerjoff. If you're looking for a truly unique, impeccably blended, fruity, complex, and totally unisex warm weather fragrance, look no further than Dolce Amalfi. 9/10

Man! So Ive reviewed Dilce Amalfi before so this is an update, but Im just so confused as to why folks think this smells like "Hubba Bubba gum" imo it CLEARLY DOES NOT! Now it does somewhat resemble Wrigleys Juicy Fruit Gum just with A LOT more Clovey Goodness and with a slight "Medicinal Touch" which imo grounds Dolce Amalfi's dna and truley adds to the wearing experience while helping it smell more "Mature" vs smelling like a Teeney Boppers bubble gum scent. (Yes I said Teeney Bopper! Lawd Im OLD!!🤣) Also, while I get that fragrance is subjective, Im confused as to why folks claim that Dolce Amalfi makes a great Spring/Summer scent? This scent is quite heavy, spicey and sweet so I dunno whats up with that? Im guessing its the name "Dolce Amalfi" as in Amalfi Coast? Plus the artwork on the package along with the Sunny-yellow bottle doesnt help! I dunno, jusy wanted to touch on those things. As for the updated review, Dolce Amalfi has Maturated nicely over the last 4 months gaining better all around performance and becoming even smoother that it was initially. I totally recommend Dolce Amalfi for Fall/Winter and mmmmaybe spring evenings, but if worn during summer id do no more than 2 to 3 spritzes. Otherwise Id say 6 spritzes is perfect for a full day wear! CHEERS!
