Battito d'Ali

I'm wearing this since a few days, and it's just amazing! It's incredibly soft, a skin scent but it projects also quite enough, and the lasting power is simply everlasting! Because this is an extract, not simply EDP ... It's so specific, for me it's original, so unique; it's classy, refined, and quite difficult to define, when you smell it, to pick up the notes if you don't know what's in there; it's pure, gentle, elegant and sensual at the same time, and to me it feels also quite retro', with it's powdery notes. It reminds me of a novel from D'Annunzio, that I love very much, "The child of Pleasure" 1884, and that takes place in Rome at that time...this is definitely the fragrance the female character should have worn as signature scent. At the beginning it's a bit sweet, reminds me of candied orange, but no vanilla, and some quite sweet orange blossom. fortunately this sweetness doesn't last too long, very quickly it turns into something much lighter, evanescent, and very soft. It still remains a bit sweet, but never too sticky, myrrh notes help make everything so bright, & pure? the subtle bitterness of cocoa balances the sweeter notes,it's quite difficult to describe actually, this scent it's so unique! Yes it's expensive, but as it's so strong it really needs just one spray or two, and it lasts the whole day, on skin, even more on clothes! I think one should be carefull not to put noo much, because it could only ruin the delicate softness of this scent, make it too heavy and cloying. It developpes nicely, with no great evolution or big changement, quite linear, but so elegant, thisone doesn't scream for attention, it just lingers softly around, whispering her notes gently. I really love it, this one is going to stay in my drobe for good. I also love that only a few people know about it, and wear it, and the name fit so perfectly, it reflects truly this scent, " what's like the smell of angel's wings"?

“Background Scent” Battito d'Ali is Extremely Sweet and Extremely Clean. It doesn’t smell like the sum of its notes. It smells like it’s own thing. Battito d’Ali is a fragrance I've had for years and only just realized that I really do love it. I think this fact sums up Battito d'Ali in a nutshell. I've had it for years and occasionally wear it and like it but generally overlook it. Battito d'Ali is a background scent. It's comforting and has excellent longevity with a nice soft trail but might not really come off as perfumey to others. It's sweet, powdery and billowy. One of my favorite fragrances which seems to be discontinued and long gone is Profumi del Forte Roma Imperiale. It has suddenly occurred to me that Battito d'Ali reminds me a great deal of Roma Imperiale. So now that I've made this connection I feel relieved that once my Roma Imperiale is gone I can wear Battito d'Ali when I'm in this sort of cozy, easy going mood. Battito d'Ali is sweet but not gourmand. It's a dry vanilla + myrrh (clove) with a touch of citrus at the start. Once it dries down it becomes a myrrh-vanillic powder. I would say it's definitely unisex. It's very long lasting in a soft in the background kind of way. The myrrh seems to come off as soapy to some people but I think this clove type scent is herbal rather than soapy (pretty much the only thing I'd call soapy is something that is neroli-aldehydic). Battito d'Ali is a great fragrance when you want to smell sweetly clean and pleasant all day long and not have to think about it. It's just there, in the background, billowing a clean powdery little trail.

I'm revising and rewriting my initial review from April 2025 after re-owning this fragrance. I first experienced Battito d'Ali earlier in 2025 and felt mixed about the perfume. Since that time, I've intermittently searched for pleasant orange blossom fragrances. As an aside, I went through two full bottles of Memo Paris "Sintra," which I love a whole lot. I also owned Parfums de Marly "Althair" in the past. But similar to Xerjoff "Italica," Xerjoff "Lira," and a few other "heavy hitters," I needed a temporary break from the density of the notes in those beast-mode fragrances. But I absolutely adore Sintra, I do! So, I am really loving Battito d'Ali. I own and enjoy a few Profumum Roma Perfumes. I bought Battito d'Ali for the orange flower and the myrrh. Battito d'Ali is a lovely, straight-forward perfume with opening orange flower notes that seamlessly fold into gentle layers of myrrh and cocoa-vanilla. No single note shouts, or overtakes any other note. While pure and relatively simple, Battito d'Ali simultaneously feels deep and complex. The cocoa gives the fragrance a smooth and dry “texture” (although as with most Profumum Roma perfumes, the juice is rather viscous and somewhat oily). Tastes and preferences change. This time 'round I'm loving Battito d'Ali. Performance is not as beastly as with other Profumum Roma Perfumes and not as beastly as I hoped for. And silage is pretty minimal, as I'd call this a semi-skin scent. But overall, this fragrance is really lovely. Love it!

Purchased from Profvmvm Roma when I was lucky enough to chance upon the store in Rome. This scent caught me straight away. It is definitely sweet and ambery in the opening, with a strong note of orange blossom throughout the wear. It has a candy-like effect and may come off too strong in some settings. Definitely think this is better suited to be worn in big open spaces where the perfume can "breathe" better. Overall a big love for me as I am a huge fan of orange and orange blossom scents, and this captures it in a very enjoyable and fun manner. My only gripes with this perfume are that it is definitely oily, and you will actually notice it when sprayed on your skin, and that does not go away for quite some time which can be annoying. I do NOT recommend you spray this on fabric as it will leave a mark. I also feel that it is a rather linear perfume, which oftentimes means it lacks complexity and depth as the wear goes on. That being said, I don't mind that at all in this case as I love the scent the way it is. One more warning is that the roller decant that I got along with the perfume is terrible and leaks all the time, and the atomizer as well as the bottle itself appear to be of lousy quality. Like seriously, designer perfumes half the price come in better bottles than this. What's up with that? If we ignore the bottle issues, the scent itself is at least an 8/10 for me.

Battito d’Ali by Profumum Roma – Regal Serenity in a Bottle There’s something quietly majestic about Battito d’Ali. It doesn’t shout — it whispers elegance with the confidence of someone who doesn’t need to prove anything. The moment I sprayed it, I was transported to a luxurious spa hidden in the heart of Rome — marble floors, warm amber lighting, incense lingering in the air, and a hush of ancient grandeur. The scent opens with a soft, angelic sweetness — a blend of myrrh, vanilla, and delicate florals that feels spiritual yet sensual, almost ethereal. But beneath that softness is a distinct regal warmth — as if sacred resins and precious woods were melting into your skin under the Roman sun. It’s meditative, but not minimal. There’s depth, richness, and comfort, wrapped in a creamy halo. The myrrh adds a touch of the divine, while the cocoa note provides just enough unexpected indulgence to make it memorable. This is not just perfume — it’s a sanctuary, a moment of stillness wrapped in velvet robes. Battito d’Ali feels like royalty at rest — a powerful presence dressed in white linen, bathing in silence and golden light. Rating: 9.5/10 — Sacred, soothing, and sublimely regal.
