Sulmona

I absolutely adore this fragrance! In the opening and mid I smell a super sweet marzipan paste with a heavy dose of almond extract. The almond extract in this composition will knock your socks off - it’s stronggg. What’s interesting is that in the dry down I no longer get the almondy marzipan scent. Instead I smell Trident’s pink bubblegum - *specifically Trident*. Sugary powdery goodness! This smells soo similar to Sulmona Essenza but this one is much stronger, sweeter, richer, and has an oilier texture while Sulmona Essenza is powdery - think of confectionary sugar - it’s lighter and fluffy in texture. I know I’m going to go through this like water... I need to grab a back up bottle! For those who are interested in picking up this fragrance I would suggest picking up the newer packaging (the one shown on fragrantica) because in the older packaging there is no actual cap to cover the atomizer. It’s just a cardboard box lid that covers the bottle.

Lo consiglio a chi ama il mandorla e gli sfumati gurmand lo vedo assolutamente unisex per me che amavo heliotrope di etro è come indossare il fratello maggiore

Sweet, candied almonds!! Yes!!! Love, love, LOVE!!

First blast of honeyed almond and orange blossom. Warm, sweet, powdery, nutty, delicious, comforting. Turns more creamy as it dries down only making it more lovely. To me, this is a lazy day in the warm sun all in one bottle. I find the almond note to be well done, not synthetic like you'd find in other almond lotions and soaps. Unisex but leans feminine and I'd say would work well year round, as long as you don't go too heavy in the summer. 6+ hours later: A moderately strong, sweet creamy almond scent remains. Great longevity with this one.

A strange development from opening to dry down. The opening to me is disgusting, with a lot of synthetic almond. This makes place very fast (<15 min) for a bitter kind of Orange blossom, which reminds me of Lancome's O de L Orangerie. Not bad, as I like O de L Orangerie, but with this strange strong almond opening, it is a no go for me.
