Adios Pampamia Mujer

This has turned out to be one of the best blind buys I have made. I am surprised there are only two other reviews of Adios Pampamia. This is a gem and a real bargain, with 30ml available online for less than £20 sterling at the time of writing (I am guessing it is discontinued). When first spritzed, AP hits you with quite a forceful puff of lovely powdery vanilla underpinned by delicious hazelnut, reminding me of Nutella (a little like that in Just Cavalli Gold, another love of mine). Incense (similar to that in Gres Cabaret) and gentle woody notes give AP a bit of backbone. On drydown, I am also picking up an unlisted leather note, which was commented on by the first reviewer julante.rapante, although I find it far more subtle and appealing than s/he does; leather/suede isn't listed here, so I checked online and have found slightly different notes on basenotes (below). Top Notes: Hazelnut leaf, Pink pepper Heart Notes: Freesia, Iris, Frankincense Base notes: Amber, Vanilla Another site lists "burning woods" in the base, which makes more sense than the "woody notes" in Fragrantica's pyramid. I can't comment on the comparisons to the other perfumes listed above, as I haven't smelled any of them. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. If anyone in the UK wants rid of their bottle, I would be very happy to swap with them (long list of perfumes available to swap here: fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=141417)

I bought this based on one of the Fragrantican "bargain bests" list. I love the drydown on this, creamy warm hazelnut and smooth velvety musk. But I have to spray it on my clothes and wear them later to enjoy this fragrance because the opening spray and first hour carries that burning wet woods/oud note that I have to avoid. But it is so perfect once dried down, and lasts so long on clothes I bought several more bottles. It is my evening at home comfort scent; cuddly, womanly and serene.

I won this from an auction on eBay after checking the pyramid here first and I wasn't let down. What a pretty scent! The opening was sweet- probably the vanilla and slightly leathery but the kind when you get in a new car. After an hour I can detect the hazelnut and amber. The drydown smells of a creamy smoky hazelnut. I can't stop sniffing my wrist . What an underrated perfume that is actually quite unique in my opinion.

It was nice suprice, how luxyries this perfume are - Usually I want perfume to has many more notes, but this is so nicely blended! First you can smell hazelnut creamyness with the pink pepper and littlebit creen notes, then iris, vanilla and amber, peak of incence and after some hours, in the skin smells smooth "velvety musk"- I feel this is littlebit Guerlain- type of scent!

Gosh I think this is gorgeous! Beautiful sweet hazelnut and vanilla, with lovely soft incense, and tender wood. No leather smell at all! Amazing how different perfumes can smell on different people isn't it? Goodness me, well for me it's lovely. Lovely gentle soft sweet flowers, and smooth creamy amber. It's just beautiful!
