Luciano Soprani

I just blind bought this based on reviews here and the notes listed in Luciano Soprani. I got the vintage 3.4 ounce EdT concentration. I did notice that this was formulated in 1987--but if it's a (stereotypical) '80s heavy-hitter with bombastic sillage and longevity: all the better IMO IF I like the fragrance. I'm awaiting it's arrival in the post, but will return after testing to give a review. I'm surprised (and a tad bit anxious) about LS not having more reviews here on Fragrantica--or elsewhere, for that matter. Again: for me, all the better if I think it's a good fragrance and not many others are wearing it. ;-)

I bought my first bottle while on a family holiday in Italy in the 90's. My Mum bought it and my Grandmother bought bottles to give as gifts as well. Three generations blown away by how beautiful the scent was. Getting back to the UK iv'e not seen it anywhere but managed to get a huge bottle on an auction site from Germany that i'm using very sparingly. It's musky .. sweet and sensual it dries down as a soft honey on my skin. I only have to smell it and i'm transported back to Venice with my loved ones. I would say an evening scent .. a date in a fancy restaurant or if you just want to feel special.

I received a small sample of this from a very lovely seller on Ebay. Wow! Now THIS is a perfume! One of the richest, deepest, balsamic orientals I have ever had the pleasure to try. Some have mentioned it's similarity to Coco, and while I get that, I think this is superior. I am not one to abide by daytime/nighttime rules with fragrances, but I can only imagine wearing this at night, preferably on a special date with my husband or something festive. It says it's an EDT, but one dab is filling the space around me. This is beautiful!

Thank you, Athenian. I'm still waiting to receive this, but I did read on 'another' website that it is somewhat similar in feeling, in a similar vein, as Coco. I'm sure I won't be the least bit disappointed if that is the case with it--and my own chemistry. Happy perfuming!

There is a nice thread on right now about the most aristocratic perfume. Well, it is actually this one. The 1st perfume of Soprani (vintage). Pure gold, pure class, pure royalty.
