Dolce Acqua

Sweet marzipan, creamy almonds and powdered sugar. Airy but decadent with the right amount of sweetness. I visited this gorgeous store in Bologna called Virginia 1921 and it was such a wonderful experience--shout out to Virginia for sharing her favourites with me and for helping me find my next favourite scent! I was on a hunt for an almond scent that's more floral and sweet, something different from Chemin D'Amande (which I absolutely adore!). I tried on different scents during my visit and I was so sure that Confetto would be the winner--I even sprayed on skin and walked around the city for a while to see how it would settle. When I went back to make the jump, I had a gut feeling to try Dolce Acqua on my skin, and I immediately knew I had to have it. Dolce Acqua - fizzy coconut and jammy fruits in the opening, with a creamy drydown of dusty, sugared almonds with a hint of rose water. My husband detected a tart cherry note in the opening. Confetto - dry, bitter almonds followed by a creamy jasmine and nutty vanilla base. My husband said it smelled like plasticine/Play-Doh though. Both beautiful almond scents though, but I am glad I went with Dolce Acqua in the end. If you find yourself in Bologna, Virginia 1921 is a must-visit local profumeria!

Man it really surprises me by how inconsistent profumum Roma is with there fragrances. For example, one year they’ll come out with something incredible and out of its world, then the next year they come with out something nauseating, or lame. Anyways with that being said I’ve been curious to get my nose on dolce acqua for about a year straight ever since I fell in love with the “older brother “ confetto, which is an absolute masterpiece of an almond scent. Love it so much it’s arguably my favorite fragrance. I recently purchased a decant of dolce acqua from a friend on Facebook and I’ve finally got a chance to try it! Extremely disappointed, absolutely nothing like its brother confetto. Yes I do get almonds however it’s as if the almonds got mixed with coco butter, tons of tooth aching sugar, and a dollop of icy hot cream 🤮. No one in my family enjoys the scent . Just because you’re a fan of confetto does not mean you will enjoy this.. North Pole vs South Pole. Apples vs oranges. Sillage- 98/100 Longevity- 97/100 Scent opening- 17/100 Dry down- 71/100 ok dry down ain’t too bad but this is definitely better on females

Smells like almond marzipan, coconut scented sunblock and the sweet plastic scent of a vintage pastel pearlescent blue/mauve My Little Pony (more than play-doh)... and I loveeeee that sweet plastic addictive accord so much! It’s nostalgic and sweet but in a supreme refined adult way. Pair it with a Petit Bateau baby tee, 90’s style Levi’s jeans, flip flops, a luxe Carolina Bucci pony bracelet and play “I’m Just a girl” by No Doubt. NOSTALGIC, luxurious and AGELESS! Precious long lasting high quality blend. I’m so glad that IT DOESN’T SMELL LIKE baked goods, tropical, powdery or cherry on me at all like it does for some! I tried it years ago but fell in love recently and will wear it until I’m 100 years old! 🐚 I only have one complaint: Profumum Roma did not make a body oil, a body lotion, a hand sanitizer, a candle, nor a special edition of this fragrance like they did with others and I feel personally victimized because I want all of those and also a hair mist and everything scented possible of this fragrance!

This fragrance has this beautiful, sweet coconut and almond opening that is pure heaven. The first 20 minutes is what I love the most and to be honest, is the reason that made me buy it. There is no other house that makes gourmands like Profumum Roma. This fragrance has a truly edible gourmand smell, starts out with sweet almonds and ends up with lots of heliotrope with the scent of bitter almonds. My eight year old son told me pretty much instantly that I smelled like play-doh, can't really argue with that. It does smell a lot like play-doh, not that I care. The only thing you need to be aware off is that this fragrance is cloying and can be a bit sickly sweet. Maybe not so suitable for work, and please don't overspray, you might suffocate someone unintentionally. One spray of this powerhouse fragrance goes a long way and will last you for many hours! If you want to smell like a bakery filled with almond goods and marzipan, this is what you're looking for! Truly delicious!

Beautiful, I bought a decant and it's just like giakker (reviewer below, great descriptor) described. I will be buying a bottle. When you figure in the oil to alcohol ratio, this isn't as expensive as that price tag looks. It literally was on my wrists and neck for 12 hours and I was getting wafts of the fragrance myself. When my son hugged me he said I smelled really good. That's a keeper for me, 😊. Your mileage may vary, I don't rec blind buying bc almond can go a couple different ways, nose perception wise, and if your not a fan of that it won't be a good deal for you. Also, if you're not a person that likes to wear a fragrance often, then of course the price will be a determinate. I'm weak, I just bought a bottle. I do wish they came in smaller sizes bc it's going to take forever to use this, the longevity on this scent alone would make a 30 or 40 ml bottle last a couple years of daily use.
