Ti Amo

This is such an amazing fragrance. I committed a cardinal sin in blind buying it at 30% off this February (pre Valentines day sale or discontinuing?) because I couldn't get a sample anywhere. The reviews were great but few and far between on YouTube. But I liked the note breakdown and have 12 other Rojas so thought I would give it a go. The combo of orange, cocoa and Iris made me think of Kilian Noir Aphrodisiaque, which I have a love, but it is nothing like this. I also thought it could be like Xerjoff Via Cavour, but nothing like it. If anything it resembles Love Don't be Shy but nowhere near as sweet with a cocoa accord and stronger Iris replacing the marshmallow and sugar in Love. On paper I was a bit disappointed because it seems too bright and floral with no cocoa, but on skin it was totally different, and instant love, love, love. I am a guy and have a niche collection of about 80 perfumes with about 5 being feminine-leaning unisex, that only other Roja in this category being Turandot, which is mind blowing. This is feminine leaning but not by a lot so a guy can easily pull it off. It opens with citruses and some waxy florals with a slight peach note, although pineapple is listed and not peach. I eat pineapple daily and make tea out of it, but couldn't get anything but a sort of orange peachiness coated in citrus and florals. The cacao comes in with Oris and patchouli to ground the proceedings and thereafter it is pure magic. People are slating this as fall winter but I plan to use it in the cooler weather in spring and summer, especially the nights. It doesn't have the sweet amber and woods for the winter, but also not good for the test days. It is bright and flirtatious, classy, elegant, classic, but also seductive and semi-gourmand without being sweet or sticky. A real win and at 30% off it is a no brainer, even for men who love exotic sexy florals.

I’ve never encountered a scent that so perfectly envisions love and romance like this one does. Ti Amo (I Love You) will whisk you away on a sumptuous and gentle daydream. This scent opens with an enveloping array of powdery, vintage smelling florals from a bygone era, mainly including - heliotrope, ylang, lily of the valley, rose and jasmine. This is contrasted by a subtle hint of juicy and refreshing pineapple, and touches of citrus. Before long, the floral medley becomes sweeter as the scent progresses. Sweet and dreamy notes of vanilla and tonka make way for an earthy yet incredibly creamy cacao. This chocolatey delight is then made even more smooth and buttery with a strong dose of orris. There are hints of warm spices in the background, and this scent is structured as a Chypre, but it feels like it’s in its own unique genre. This stunning perfume fuses two different worlds of vintage floral with gourmand and the end result is just breathtaking. I adore this fragrance, it’s one of my go to scents for date night.

greeted with a light mandarin, tiny bit of pineapple, florals & cacao! the florals in this are blended so well and it's so difficult to pick out an individual note, so warm & comforting. but the base is where 'ti amo' really shines, i mainly get cacao, orris, vanilla, labdunum, ginger, cinammon, cumin with abit of sandalwood, patchouli & saffron. this fragrance is just really comforting like a warm hug with a hint of sexiness. i would summarise 'ti amo' as a spicy, powdery, floral, woody vanillic fragrance with touches of sweetness and aromatics. best worn during spring/fall & works during cool summer days/nights too, not heavy/dark enough to wear in winter. definitely unisex and strong performance so go light on the sprays if you want to but avoid spraying around your neck as the spiciness tends to "punch" your nose haha. 10/10

Ti Amo is such a lovely fragrance: smooth, lightly sweet with a sprinkle of powder. As a lover of orange blossom notes, I can detect a creamy and sweet orange blossom throughout the life of the fragrance. The vanilla and cacao add a cozy warmth, just like a long-awaited hug from your lover. If Ti Amo were a person, it would be a kind-hearted one, with a warm smile and encouraging words anytime you need them.

Classy af the Lilac Love comparison isn’t really there to me at all smells closer to Love Delight without the rum. This is so beautifully blended together I mostly get a slightly bitter powdery cocoa with warm and sweet facets to it very creamy and gourmand, and close to my skin there’s a smooth bed of spices that makes this stuff special, don’t think it’s a must have for me but I appreciate having some
