Versilia Aurum

I ordered a sample of this and then went and purchased the big bottle -- which was delivered today. I can't believe anyone would think this is a unisex fragrance. This is so warm and feminine. I can't stop smelling my wrist, this fragrance is amazing. At first you get a nose full of strawberry, as that drifts away a multitude of other fruits emerge but to my nose.... No one single note stands out more than the other. There is a very heavenly vanilla that gives this scent an elegant "thickness" without that cloying sweetness that you can get from many vanilla fragrances. It's like cake batter rather than the icing. After 30 minutes I can pick up the rose and honestly I don't get the lily of the valley from this though they say it's in there. I love this scent, it is warm, lush, feminine and so perfect for the weather we are about to get into.

It is simple perfect :) I felt at the first sniff that this scent is mine. And we meet again and it is a great love now :) Well, about the perfume: this is a fantastic, sweet scent, not a sugary way but with lot of fruits and flowers. And it is a bit oriental too on my skin. The drydown is a bit similar to the JHG's Oil Fiction, but it is much more elegant. This perfume is sexy, addictive, elegant and calming at the same time. (But i cant imagine a man wearing this.) If this scent would be a woman, probably Sophia Loren :) Not a young one, but a perfect woman any time and situation.

Absolutely agree with the previous reviewer it's not a unisex fragrance. Just would like to add that it's dry down is identical to Dulcis in Fundo by Profumum Roma. Very creamy soft vanilla.. Amazing -simply amazing!

I like following my instincts, and my instincts a while ago told me to sample Versilia Aurum whatever the cost. I think it was the world's way of saying that a sweet, strawberry based fragrance could be successful if blended with the right, quality ingredients. The more times I wear Versilia Aurum, the more enchanted with it I become. It smells like strawberries, but instead of being candied or synthetically sharp, it is presented as a delicious bowl of strawberries and cream flavoured icecream. Creamy, smooth, sugary and enticing. With that being said, Versilia Aurum does tend to have a gourmand feel throughout, however it's more complex than just strawberry icecream. The heart is a beautiful, feminine blend of powdery florals. When the powder blends with the sugary fruits, the result is quite dusty, soft and pleasing. I can detect a certain accord that resembles the scent of vintage cosmetics, like the scent of face powder and lipsticks. There's a quaintness to it that I really like. It was at this point that I stopped and realised that Versilia Aurum was designed with a specific point in mind, that it was to resemble or pay homage to a precious metal; gold. Rose gold perhaps, but not gold itself. I find gold much bolder and spicier than this. This fragrance makes me think of all things pink. I'm surprised to see this listed as unisex to be honest. However I understand that I could be biased as this fragrance does settle on my skin in a very feminine and pretty way. Unfortunately the longevity is not fabulous. I spritzed it on around midday, and found it to have disappeared by late afternoon. The sillage is also surprisingly intimate and soft. I like it this way, however I didn't expect it to be so wispy. This fragrance has proven to me that sugary strawberry scents, when composed well, can be absolutely delicious on the skin. A full bottle may cost a small fortune, but for those that love strawberries and want a step up from those nauseatingly candied scents, Versilia Aurum is the way to go.

This has such a complex note pyramid for such a simple, innocent scent. The notes I get from this are fairly linear, and are as follows: vanilla, tonka, strawberry, heliotrope, plum & maybe a hint of amber somewhere along the line. I file Versilia Aurum under the umbrella of insta-nostalgia perfumes. Such silky, plastic-powder-puff vanilla & strawberry milkshakes. There is a thick candylike sweetness here, like sugary strawberry nougat or taffy, alongside a very powdery, albeit lip-balm-esque vanilla. I would say this errs on the feminine side - very flirtatious, girly & inviting, but as I said earlier: innocent. Disney-fairy-princess innocence. Sillage is friendly, you won't knock anybody out with this - and the longevity is a decent few hours, maybe around 4-6. My personal opinion is that I don't think this is worth the 200-some-odd dollars it costs - it eventually falls very flat and sweet, and I think you could probably pick up something from Sephora or the Bath & Body works around Christmas time that gives you a similar impression, but lasts much longer.
