Matelda

This is such a magical and fluffy fragrance! I fell in love with it at first sniff. I know buontalenti from this house is really popular, and I own that one and love it, but matelda is seriously a hidden gem and so underhyped. Its very soft and fluffy and dreamy, it’s like peach flavoured macarons or a peach lipgloss. It remind me of barbie dolls too, it has a nostalgic vibe to it. I imagine if barbie’s fairytopia land had a scent, it would be matelda, a magical fluffy meadow with pink clouds and beautiful peach blossom flowers. ✨🌸🍑🧚🏻 The main notes I smell in this are: sugary candy peaches, soft fluffy florals, and a creamy bakery like vanilla! It is soft and lightweight, I would say it is an intimate skin scent, but it’s still quite long lasting on the skin. If you love leisure in paradise, buontalenti, dama bianca, or even Carner Tardes, you will love this one. I’m not saying it’s a dupe of any of them (it’s close to leisure in paradise but much softer and more floral and fluffy). It just has a ultra feminine soft fluffy and magical vibe like the ones I just mentioned.

If there's happiness to be found in a perfume bottle, than it's in Profumo di Firenze's Matelda. It was love at first sniff - so beautifully balanced, so light and joyful, perfect companion throughout the day or when going to bed. I really love a good peach fragrance, a chamomile note too, but to mix them in such a way to achieve radiance... Excellent. Matelda is a cozy and serotonin inducing perfume, like sun beams on your skin. I really love Profumo di Firenze fragrances, their simple yet beautiful bottle and packaging, their minimalistic yet indulging visuals when promoting a fragrance, it's authentic "dolce vita" philosophy in a bottle...

matelda is a lovely fruity powdery vanilla fragrance that begins with a refreshing burst of white grapefruit. as it settles, it transforms into a beautiful vanilla floral! the chamomile and violet really shine in the floral notes, and there is a subtle tartness, which is prob from the Peru balsam. it then softens into a lovely, light vanilla with a hint of violet or another floral. it’s soooo so so pretty and reminds me of bbw butterfly, but without the raspberry note! it’s a lovely, ethereal fragrance that gets compliments whenever I wear it and i think its perfect for the spring and summer

There is something beautiful about this fragrance in its complexity that makes it bright and airy, yet sweet with a touch of earthiness. When I first smelled this fragrance, it wasn’t what I was expecting at all...and I was captivated. I immediately felt nostalgic for some reason...it’s grounding, uplifting, and comforting. To me, this is a harmonious blend that leans feminine, and I can’t stop sniffing myself. As a fragrance enthusiast, this is another fragrance that really makes me enjoy this hobby as much as I do.

I wore this fragrance all day today and I knew it smelled familiar. At first, I thought it was Angel’s Share which does smell similar but not exactly. It hit me when I really sat and smelled, it smells like a softer version of Safanad by PDM which is one of my favorite fall fragrances. For me, this perfume lasts pretty much all day, I’ve been wearing it since 7am and it’s now 2 and I can still smell it. I love this so much, it’s beautiful and I think is truly unisex. Definitely for me is full bottle worthy.

Porfumo di Firenze Matelda is a irresistible blend of notes! The first moment, I get a slightly boozy cognac that changes to a rich peach tea( peach blossom - chamomile). There is tartness that is really sexy and a vanilla that just sweeps over me. I spray heavy and enjoy the envelop. This perfume is going to be my happy place fragrance.

This is so lovely. Cute and tender, you feel like a snack while wearing it. I really love this perfume unfortunately it’s not long lasting on my skin. It reminds me of madeleine cookies with black tea with milk. Similar to Blue Madeleine Atelier des Ors but more sweet and like it has a peach note.

Beautiful rum-soaked pastry with a woody and slightly smoky undertones. Amazing scent on the edge of gourmand, but still very sophisticated and refined. Honestly I can smell it all day long! Absolutely adorable! Follow me on IG: scent.guide

This is such an ethereal fragrance. I’m not a huge fan of violet but the peach blossom, benzoin and chamomile makes it not so intense. Beautifully blended. It lasts all day on my clothes as well.

This is such a beautiful all year round scent. It seems to have it all. It’s uplifting but comforting at the same time.

Hands down my favorite from this line.

A very nice, fresh, sweet and light fragrance! It gives out an airy vibe, not overly sweet nor floral but just the right amount of everything. It's perfect for everyday use, especially for spring and summer.

Insanely gorgeous - makes me smile and happy everytime I wear it! It's sweet and pretty without being overpowering. Instant mood lifter!

Matelda is a lightweight pretty and youthful feminine floral. Unfortunately she has a very short attention span.

I love the smell but hate the throw. I find this to be a skin scent on me.

Mid opening, lovely and soft drydown. All-year fragrance leaning feminine.

This is such a cute and tender fragrance<3 I mostly get candied violet, vanilla cream, and sandalwood. At times I catch a hint of chamomile that gives it tea like vibe. The tonka bean at first does smell a little playdoughy, but it’s pretty mild and fades quickly on me. It’s definitely a skin scent, so it will be underwhelming for those who enjoy perfumes with a strong presence. Overall, it’s a lovely perfume. Soft, sweet, happy and has a lotiony quality. It does remind me a bit of Leisure in Paradise, they have the same vibe, but they are by no means interchangeable. And when smelling side by side, the notes are completely and very obviously different. Also, I kept feeling “I’ve smelled this before” when I first sprayed it on and I finally figured it out! It’s the Lavender & Sandalwood from B&BW (discontinued iirc) which is the scent that made me realize I don’t like lavender notes lol. Not sure if I’d get a full bottle of this one since I’m more of an iris girl than a violet one.

This is just like Leisure In Paradise by Simone Andreoli, only not as good, at least for my taste. Why? It has weaker sillage and Leisure In Paradise is way more bright, pure and clear and just pure perfection. While Matelda in it's sillage is just like Leisure In Paradise, only seems more natural smelling but at the same time less potent and from upclose it smells a bit generic and even dirty - not as delicious, although it gives some pretty nice fruity creamy vanilla. Longevity is also not as strong, but still pretty decent. Not worth it for my personal taste, as Leisure In Paradise is perfect for me. Although might be nice if you find Leisure In Paradise overwhelming.

I thought it smelled like a nice shampoo. My boyfriend thought it smelled exactly like meat that had been sitting in formaldehyde. I didn't ask him why he knows what that smells like, but it's safe to say that I will not be wearing it.

Nice, that's all. Absolutely zero longevity or projection on me...
