Volo AZ 686

I had to stick up for this one! I think I love Profumum because they just push the boat out. They really do capture the light and love, the beauty and passion of Italy. They definitely decided to do the excitement of liftoff with the opening, and you know, I like it! Then there is a gorgeous lolly flavour, like musk candy and bubblegum teasing through...I'm guessing this is the urinal cake reference but hey, I've never smelt one! I also don't use scented cleaners on principle because the stuff has ruined perfumery. Now I'm getting a lovely pineapple with coconut and sweet white flowers, and yes, full bottle worthy. Edit one year later Right ok I admit it, at extortionate expense I have imported to Australia a full bottle from a fabulous French online shop. This is a wonderful perfume that I reckon has a much greater proportion of real flower oils than any modern fume. If it’s not real ylang ylang oil giving all the negative reviewers conniptions I’d be surprised. Yep ylang is a bit stinky. It takes forever to dry down. Yes I know it’s not in the notes list. Yes you can get all sorts of grades of it. All of them are the flora universe’s version of deer musk. It is an extraordinary smell that must connect us all to our earth mother. It fugs up the open of this perfume like a petroleum oil slick. It’s extreme retro like Ysatis and Byzance boiled up in a stock pot. I can see why some gorgeous men I have met on the internet adore this thing. Use with caution, it’s a primal aphrodisiac.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Volo AZ 686 is more than just a fragrance to me—it’s me. Out of my entire collection, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It’s my number one, my signature, the scent that feels like it was made for me. From the very first sniff, I was completely captivated. The creamy gardenia is undeniably the star here, but it’s not your typical floral. It’s lush, smooth, and beautifully layered with an unexpected rubbery nuance that adds a bold, edgy twist. There’s also this subtle hint of green that weaves through it, grounding the composition and giving it a unique depth. As it evolves on my skin, it transforms—unfolding like a story, with each chapter more fascinating than the last. What I love most is how *alive* this fragrance feels. It’s complex and dynamic, revealing new facets with every wear, and it always manages to surprise me. The creamy richness of the gardenia combined with those unusual accents creates a scent that is completely addictive and impossible to forget. Volo AZ 686 isn’t just a fragrance—it’s a statement. It demands attention without shouting, exuding sophistication and allure in the most effortless way. I feel confident, elegant, and uniquely myself whenever I wear it. To me, this isn’t just a masterpiece—it’s *the* masterpiece. My collection is full of beautiful scents, but Volo AZ 686 will always be the one that feels like home. ♡

I have big collection of fragrances but really nothing is like Volo. This is most marvelous floral fragrance ever made. The richest composition I know. Is it overpowering? YES. Doest it have big silage? YES. Is it long lasting? FOREVER!!! Gardenia, gardenia and more gardenias, just gardenia extract that is resinous because of the concentration. There is also a lot of vanilla – real vanilla, not a sweet cake like or cloying candy like which I personally hate. This is deep vanilla with coconut nuances. I spend my lovely vacation on the Turkish cost close to Izmir and during that time I was using Volo all the time. So I have very grate association with this fragrance. Volo is rich flowery nevertheless it is unisex. I’m male and I’m in love with this masterpiece. It reminds me good, lazy, happy and joyful time in my life.

Just bought it...what can I say... Absolutely wonderful, a floral gem like no other! I know for many people it has two phases; well, I can only detect the paradise one! It actually brings me again to my summers by the sea when I was a carefree chid... but I can't put my fingers on why! I love powdery frags, and this is like a high end talcum powder: it has a sweet, cremy floral note in the opening (I can't detect clearly the gardenia), and the it becomes better and better with time! For several hours, a coconut-vanillic and powdery scent stay on my skin... It lingers around me, I can smell it in every step I take. Natural, refined, cozy, longlasting...just perfect!

Initially it is quite strong but after 15-30 minutes a nice gardenia and vanilla fragrance projects, perfect for the summer months or any day in the tropics. The gardenia dominates my skin. I love the linear simple notes from this house, in this case gardenia, vanilla and coconut. And that's it. I rate this an A- only because the initial spray is somewhat intense, be careful not to overspray but the drydown is wonderful. One of my faves from this house. Longevity and sillage is outstanding, you won't be disappointed. Worth the extra $$ for quality.

Ah, the discontinued masterpiece! I finally found you. The last bottle in a small perfumery in Munich. This is a retro bomb and I love it!

After a few more wearing, this is growing on me because of the uniqueness. Longevity/Sillage outstanding. Not an office scent.

Wore to work today, got noticed. Somebody commented, "It smells like lotion in here". Not sure if that is good or bad...

Sadly this has been discontinued! If you can spare a decant for me please get in touch.

Profumum Volo AZ 686 combines the sweetness of vanilla and coconut with the bright white floral gardenia. It's refreshing, not with a caked or boozy vanilla but more of a light rendition that blends well with the floral elements. The use of coconut isn't so heavy-handed that it distracts from the other elements. If anything, the coconut is the weakest of the triumvirate. It reminds me a little bit of Battito d'Ali but less floral and sweeter, and so I prefer it a bit do Battito d'ALi since it agrees more with my enjoyment of sweet scents. Feminine, sure, but not unwearable for most men, though that's a matter of taste. I find that the harmony among the vanilla, coconut, and gardenia keeps it unisex, whereas a gardenia-dominant fragrance would be inherently feminine. Definitely an underdiscussed member of the Profumum family, Volo AZ 686 is yet another entry that merits trying, if nothing else. I'm not sure it's full bottle worthy for me, but I hope to obtain a split at some point to keep trying it out. 7 out of 10

Gardenia as far the nose can smell! A wonderful white floral that does NOT stop all day! I'm not much of a white floral kinda guy (or even a floral guy), so for me it didn't work, but if you are, you gots to try this!!!

Whoa- holy jasmine! It's enough that I have Fleur de Male.

Solid performer, low versatility and progression within the scent. Lotion/cream/suntan-vibe, would use it if gotten as a present, would not buy myself if this makes sense. House of PR has way more interesting composition sin their portfolio

This doesn't smell to me like gasoline...I actually like the smell of gasoline. This smells like a tropically-themed, ammoniated cleaning product. You know what cleaning products are good for? Scrubbing.

sorry Profumum, but Volo AZ 686 is urinal cake/bathroom cleaning solution. yes, much later, a pineapple and coconut sweetness emerges, but the overwhelming bathroomy chemical cloud is too much for me.

All I get is a massive heliotrope powder! I can't understand that heliotrope is not a note in this fragrance. To strong heliotrope for me, bordering on headache worthy.

The smell disappeared in 40 minuntes unlike other superb smells from this brand like Acqua Viva or Tuberosa. I am truly disappointed with this one.

An horrifying, hair raising mix of gardenia and coconut laying on a vanilla base. Cloying, overwhelming and firmly unpleasant. Excessively sweet plastic flowers with candied coconut. "Volo AZ 686" in italian means "Alitalia Flight 686" and the name is supposed to recall, stating to the Profvmvm website, a flight to a tropical island ("images that blend with the scent from coconut palms and flowers of thousand colors, the swing of a hammock and a cocktail in my hand...the loudspeaker is calling the Volo Az 6862) but to me it's more evoking of Alitalia in 2007 when the airline company was just about to go bankrupt...a total disaster. Rating: 3/10

البداية صعبة وقاسية للغاية ويمكن أن تمثل للكثيرين صدمة من العيار الثقيل رائحة مبيد حشري هههههههههههههههههههههه بس على مين يا روما ألعبيها مع حد تاني انا مستني وعارف اني حلاقي اللي انا متوقعه راحت عليك يا روجا دوف بعطرك جاردينا. فعطر Volo AZ 686 Profumum Roma for women and men أو بالعربية "رحلة الألف إلى الياء" هو بالفعل ساحق ورهيييييب من يحكم عليه عند حرف الألف سيتركه ويهرب ومن يكمل الرحلة والمشوار سيستمتع بالكثير الآن بداية الاستمتاع فانيليا طبيعية بشكل مذهل مع الجاردينا كأنك تمسك منها باقة قطفت لتوها ووراءهما قاعدة كريمية لذيذة من شراب وشرائح جوز الهند الطازجة

Horrid on application, AZ 686 develops into something worse. There was a product made by Glade in the 1980s which one deposited into the toilet cistern to freshen the bathroom and colour the water. I believe it was pine -scented. AZ 686 made me remember it existed.

Scent - vanilla, gardenia & tart coconut. Season/Time of Day - I prefer to use this one in the warmer months, day or night. Projection - I didn't get noticed, I didn't get a compliment. Longevity - I get 8hrs consistently.

coconut in a bucketfull of ammonia. if you want to be nuclear in a room, use it. if you want to be kissed, don't use it.

Please tell me clearly whether heard in spirits taste of coconut?

alfarom, the name is about a Sanremo song from 1976
