Velorum

Velorum is my favorite scent from the Assoluto line and one of my top 5 from the brand. I've tried it and I immediately liked it. Other TT scents that are my favorites are Dionisio, Delox, Telea. It's not a light scent, but also not very heavy. I don't recall smelling anything light from Tiziana Terenzi. All perfumes I've smelled were quite potent. How does it smell? It's a complex scent with many notes that it's hard to describe or compare to anything else. I'd categorize it as gourmand with fruity, citrus, sweet and spicy facets. It's addictive and opulent. I can't get enough of it. The white chocolate gives it the nice cozy feel. Fruits give it freshness and other notes give it sophistication and complexity. The number of notes may seem scary but it's a great example of how many of my favorite notes can blend well together. It's wearable during day and night. I'd wear it to work during colder months, but it's more of a going out type of scent. It's stunning. Velorum is definitely the brightest star in my constellation of scents from Tiziana Terenzi. A blind buy worthy for gourmand lovers ...if you don't mind paying $850 for a bottle plus tax.

Love, love, love! This fragrance is absolutely delicious. It's soft, smooth, beautifully blended, and incredibly addictive. If I could, I'd bathe in it. Btw, it has nothing to do with Erba Pura. Peple finding similarities with Erba Pura should check their zinc levels. Seriously. The closest comparison is D'Elmar Momona, which shares perhaps 90% of the same DNA. That said, Velorum feels more refined and masterfully blended. Momona occasionally reveals a few sharper edges, while Velorum remains seamless from start to finish. My only real criticism is the performance. I wish it projected more and lasted longer on me. I often feel the need to reapply every few hours, although it's entirely possible that I'm experiencing some nose blindness after wearing it for a while. As much as I adore the scent itself, I'm still not sure if it's worth the money.

Without a doubt, this one reminds me of a gourmand Bal D'Afrique but with more woods, a very perceptible nuttiness in the base, same soft creamy but sweeter white florals, and added tea in the mids and opening. While I find Bal D'Afrique very smooth, this one has so many facets that make it seem like each facet is vying for your attention throughout its lifetime. The correct words to describe the experience would be: playful, sexy, very very mood uplifting, soft but with a prominent nutty facet. Wow I love it. Unisex straight down the middle. Very very creamy, tea, nutty gourmand, lotioney. 10 across the board. For all seasons. Longevity is 12+ hours. Very playful scent, also very sensual/great for cuddling, yum!

After finding a good deal online, I was excited to try this fragrance, hoping it would have a more prominent white chocolate note on me than Coromandel. First five minutes were brutal - cumin, passionfruit and musk. It must have been the herbals notes and woods, but I smelled a little like the wrong kind of gourmand. Didn’t catch any rose or lotus. Then again, I am not certain I could pick lotus out regardless so it may my palate limitation. Thirty minutes in, and the strong, dark cumin note died down to a lovely gourmand. Similar profile in the dry down to Kirke or Erba Pura, but sweeter from the chocolate, heavier amber, and creamier perhaps from a combination of almond and sandalwood.

I have Draco from TT and This does not smell like it. Draco is a fluffy creamy peachy gourmand 🫶. This has that kirke fruitiness, but kirke is more fruity airy musky. While this perfume is fruity with more spice, gourmand, warmth, and you can smell the oud. It's Devine! I sprayed it on my skin at 11am yesterday, it's 7am now and I can still smell it!
