Passeggiata In Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

This perfume is very special. special in that it is very very unique, and in that it smells ultra high quality, complex, and very well blended. you must be a gourmand lover to really appreciate this i think. At first i must confess that i was like WHAT IS THIS... LOVED the opening upon first spray, but then I was almost barfing on the dry down. Probably because my nose wasnt used to anything like this, and ESPECIALLY the TEXTURE of this. This is one of the most lactonic scents, ultra thick, creamy milk. This trully smells like the milk froth of a hazelnut latte. Photorealistic latte. This is a very milk heavy latte, maybe like a flat white. Many coffee scents have more of a darker, chocolatey spicey vibe to them. This is different. I think of the color white, this is bright, luminous, creamy and frothy... I really agree with the accord synesthesia, except for the woody or spicy nuance to it. the whole composition is super well blended, where you can't really get the cinammon unless you really look for it at the top. same with all the other notes. you really have to look for them to get them, but the creaminess and luminosity of the tuberose, the creaminess of the coconut, the hazelnut... all add this epic texture to it. that drydown that i didnt like at first, came across as an ultra thick and dense cloying condensed milk. Im suprised lactonic is not even mentioned in the accords. Today is a white winter day above freezing, its overcast but with lots of light. I am wearing baby blue joggers and a white long sleeve T, and this scent couldnt be more perfect as I drink my coffee. This made me imagine like Im drinking a super frothy hazelnut latte. This is so bright, creamy, comforting and just yummy as heck. My nose finally understood that super different drydown, and I'm absolutely loving this. I doused myself with this, even though this is BEAST. MODE! ultra longevity, and bomb projection with the big texture and thickness. Very very good quality scent from Trussardi! now, if you look for something formal, this is not it. This is ultra casual, happy go lucky yummy comforting scent. it's different. and sweet AF! it's a keeper. : )

Trussardi has not disappointed me with any of my blind buys-- they're all high quality. This one especially. It's my newest favorite fragrance. Starts off smelling like a very fancy chocolate tootsie roll scent and then on the drydown goes between smelling like coffee and hazelnut creamer with no sugar to a baked sweets smell as if I had some instant vanilla cake mix baking in the oven. Or the edges of the aforementioned cake when you flip it over and take it out of the baking pan. Or almond biscotti. I love that it's not sickly sweet (even though I love sugar sweet scents) because this can also be used by men. Sometimes that baked goods vanilla drydown gets artificial smelling but I question if it's because of the clothing I am spraying it on. I sprayed it again on a cotton shirt today and I didn't get that scent. Also has a faint incense scent but it's not enough for me to consider this incense scented. I am guessing that's the cedar? Sillage is very good! If someone is downwind from me they say they can smell it. I didn't get compliments but I also didn't get complaints so that's good for me because I just love smelling this on me and I'm glad I am not offending anyone. I asked a friend who criticizes my choice in fragrance sometimes to tell me his opinion on it and he said it smelled decent-- he picked up notes of chocolate when he smelled it. It doesn't last long on skin. I sprayed it on myself and went out to work on my hot and humid outdoor job and within 2 hours I had sweat off the scent. On my clothes, however; it lasted most of my shift; so, about 6 hours out of the 8 hours. I love that I now have a unisex baked-goods gourmand fragrance that isn't cloyingly sweet so I can have my boyfriend try it out. He could wear this Trussardi Passeggiata In Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II , and I could wear Dior Hypnotic Poison so we can suffocate poor bystanders in our immediate radius with a vanilla gourmand fragrance cloud. I hope Trussardi's Passeggiata In Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II isn't some kind of limited edition or discontinued fragrance because I really love this juice!

This is a really lovely fall/winter gourmand that would be perfect for those who don’t like anything super sweet or who want just a touch of femininity in their fragrance but not too much. The coffee and cinnamon notes in the opening could have been too bitter/spicy if not done right, but they aren’t bitter at all - they’re a little dry, powdery, and lightly sweet, like opening a packet of some kind of cinnamon latte coffee drink mix. I almost smell a pinch of cacao in there. The hazelnut note is not like Nutella but like roasted hazelnuts, toasty and nutty and only a little sweet. In the middle the nutty coffee cacao scent lingers and then I smell white florals, which add a touch of delicate femininity. I do not smell the coconut as a distinct note (but for some reason I do struggle to detect coconut notes in fragrances) but it adds sweetness and dimension. I don’t smell much of the cedar in the drydown but do smell dry vanilla and musk, with lingering traces of the nutty coffee cacao scent hanging around. I personally don’t understand those who say this is super sweet or too sweet. I love sweet gourmands - make it almost cloying and I will probably like it. This isn’t that for me. It’s a little sweet to my nose but nowhere near too much. If it weren’t for the white florals I’d say this would be a unisex fragrance. Lasted 8 hours on me with moderate projection. I have a sample and think I want a bottle of this!

Gorgeous cozy Nutella scent. If you love Nutella, another wonderful export from Italy apart from brands like Trussardi, the chances are you feel its very edible gourmand and enjoy it. However, it holds the line between food and perfume quite well, it doesn't come across completely like something that belongs to your kitchen cupboard. It doesn't also smell adolescent or cheap. Florals and coffee doesn't play big part, but do balance scent, cinnamon makes it slightly spicy and very delicious in crisp cold and snowy pre-Christmas winter time (when I first tried it- i got Nutella association immediately as a big fan), whilst in summer, the coconut adds intense creaminess and it acts even a bit animalic due to musk base. For me its one of the best in this genre, a must-try for nutty gourmand lovers, works well with the perfume enhancer/musk thats in black flacon- it makes this fragrance deeper, muskier, brings out florals, and Passeggiata gets a touch more perfumey and more complex in a good way. I really like this Trussardi line, found 3 solid loves out of 6. Flacons are also absolutely beautiful.

I love this perfume! It has easily become one of my favourite perfumes A very delicious, creamy, cozy, sweet and comforting scent. It smells like a very expensive and refined hazelnut spread and takes my imagination to a cozy cafe in Italy serving you a hazelnut cream cake with a cup of hot chocolate on the side. Although there is no chocolate listed in the notes, this scent comes off very chocolatey but still in a high quality well blended way, not too extreme or off putting. I also do not detect any coffee, but the cinnamon makes a very small appearance making it warm and cozy. The hazelnut is a prominent note making it very nutty and delicious. The tuberose and jasmine are also not prominent notes in this perfume but they are there very slightly in the background to make it more blended and add to the sophistication and roundness of the scent. If you love gourmands like me, this is definitely for you. Great sillage and longevity as well lasts a good 8+ hours on my skin. Gorgeous bottle too!

Creamy is the word to describe this one! So delicious you can almost taste it! On me, it isn’t heavy or too sweet. Just a balanced and modern gourmand. I don’t smell Nutella (luckily - I don’t think I would want to smell like a walking nutty chocolate spread). I smell creamy hazelnuts and coffee (in a very nice way, don’t be scared). Even though I don’t smell coconut as a separate note, I think that’s what brings the creaminess to this fragrance. I smell the tuberose, but it isn’t strong or overpowering. On my skin, the hazelnuts are in control from the first spray until the very final dry down, when I can smell more and more vanilla. I have to disclose that I am not a gourmand girl. I am more a woody, oriental, white florals or fresh kind of girl. Maybe that’s why I even like this one to start with: it isn’t as sweet as Lira, Angel etc. It’s just lovely! You have to try it yourself. I blind bought this one and I am glad for that, but I don’t think it’s a safe blind buy. 😍

Oh man this was unexpected. Not a sugary, chocolatey, annoying experience that I expected. I love this. First spray and initial dry-down was incensey to me, which is something I don’t personally like. It dissipates pretty quickly, maybe some type of brain-bending perception of the coffee note? After that, it’s magic. This. scent. trail. I sprayed it on my hand and would be doing chores and get a spike of “woah, what smells so great.” This does not smell like a dessert. The tuberose and jasmine become more prominent as it dries down. The musk is so soft and powdery. I’m not getting hazelnut as much as dry cocoa powder. I think this is an oriental fragrance that substitutes typical spices or dry “ingredients” for ground cocoa and hazelnut. To me this isn’t dark, sweet, or indulgent. It’s light and airy, it’s silky as hell. The tuberose in this is addictive. This will for sure be my fall signature.

I absolutely adore this scent. On me, the hazelnut and coffee notes persist through the entire wear, which I love. Coffee notes often dissipate so quickly, and I appreciate that it sticks around because it really does something special here. When the floral mid kicks in, the coconut adds a creaminess to the scent that helps to paint the picture of the wearing experience. At this point, the smell is exactly that of enjoying a traditional Italian breakfast (a capuccino and a brioche with the added optional nutella) while sitting at a table decorated with flowers. The nutella pastry/coffee notes dance with the floral notes in such a way that at any moment you catch a whiff of one or the other but never both at the same time. In the drydown, cedar is the strongest note, softened by the vanilla and lingering hints of hazelnut and coffee.

A refined creation of outstanding quality. The very first moments of the opening create a slight dissonance, as an alcoholic note sharpens the scent, briefly evoking a faint reminiscence of fermenting yeast. Yet this impression is fleeting. It quickly gives way to beautiful nutty, creamy, and highly refined notes. Although it belongs to the gourmand family, it is not particularly sweet; instead, it emphasizes smoothness and creaminess. If it evokes a dessert, it is more in the opening—reminiscent of a mousse from an Italian pastry shop, with notes of nuts and warm spices. As it develops, the base becomes slightly drier and more restrained, enriched with warm woody nuances. With strong sillage and exceptional longevity, this is a niche fragrance well worth discovering—especially for connoisseurs of gourmand compositions.

Beautiful gourmand. It smells soft and creamy. I haven’t smelled any perfume quite like this but smells kinda like a Choco-hazelnut frappe. Hazelnut is very prominent, and jasmine note elevates it and making it creamier, both scents lasts at the same time so I don’t particularly smell like a jasmine (I don’t like jasmine as is, it smells like the flowers we offer to church religious statues). it smells like a very nutty cream. Coconut not as prominent but helps the sweetness and creaminess of this perfume. The coffee scent I smell after an hour, but not that prominent, it makes the nutty notes smell more like chocolate. Very beautiful. It’s not cloying. I can wear this all the time. Makes me remember sweet drinks from a cafe/bakery, sitting outside under a canopy. It elevates my mood.

A more sweeter and more vanillic version of Madeleine. I tryed layering them, but forget it, Madeleine overpowered this and couldn't make it sweeter. But Passaggiata was a "love at first sniff", the opening is to die for!!! The first 5min is the best to me, it's nutty, sweet, milky!!! But after the 5min it's fades. I just wish it would stay like that, but I also like the drydown. Vanillic, a little hazelnut-cappuccino and a little flower touch (I hate flower notes, but this one realy not bothering me!). Trussardi naild it this time! Also with Limitless Shopping! And I'm still curious about Aperitivo and Paintings of Palazzo!!! :)

This is so amazing, I tested it once and I immediately needed a full bottle. It's like tuberose dipped in nutella. A very rich and smooth, nutty scent. It's reminiscent of a floral hazelnut latte. It makes me feel rich and beautiful and like I'm truly strolling through Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milano. It makes me feel like I'm on vacation. Although it's very sweet and cozy, I could even see this working for summer because it's not heavy at all, it's light and airy somehow. The performance is great, it really lasts all day, and I think it projects well. Such a beautiful scent, I can't wait to try more from this house.

It's really good. Starts with coffee and hazelnuts. The coffee lasts about 2-3h for me. The hazelnuts fade but don't really go away. Jasmine, vanilla, and cinnamon emerge after about an hour. The coconut is there but I missed where it comes out. The coconut does last a long time. It becomes sweeter and more milky over the first 4h. I am not getting cedar or musk, but after about 4-5h it smells like condensed milk. Milk, sugar, and vanilla. Not as sickly sweet as Nicolai's "Saint Honore" Still smell it faintly after 10h. This is in my top 10 to keep. Will buy again. Autumn and winter. Good for Christmas I reckon.

The entire Vie di Milano collection certainly has very interesting offerings. Having sampled all the 2020 releases and most of the 2022 ones, this has been full bottle worthy for me. This is a fabulous gourmand offering. Hazelnut and coffee are most prominent on me, florals are there but faint. To me this smells like a chocolate hazelnut pastry filling, but less sweet. Or like a delicious hazelnut latte. Performance is good for an EDP, 5 hrs or more on skin. Sillage is quite intimate which I think suits the scent profile. If you are a gourmand lover this is definitely worth trying !

Like sipping creamy hazelnut coffee aside a flourishing jasmine plant in the center of Milano. In my head I am sitting next to my favorite architectural marvel, the Duomo, on an easy-going summer day with my family. I really love this. Passeggiata is actually pretty simple, but the hazelnut makes it so striking. It's a very well done hazelnut, not gourmand, but realistic in unison with the ultra-feminine jasmine. The coffee note is not strong at all, and the coconut is giving a hint of softness in the background. Such a beautifully synchronized blend. A great summer perfume.

I love gourmand nutty scents, as my collection shows, but this! This is unique! Balanced, gorgeous, unisex, yummy, beautiful, just perfect. I am not a tuberose fan, but I can clearly smell it here, combined with hazelnut, and it's a stunner! I grabbed the full bottle after testing it twice in different weather conditions. Its performance is decent: I get 6 hours on skin, all day on clothes. One of my favourite perfumes ever. I am testing the whole line, after having discovered such a gem!

The initial blast is a white floral scent, reminding me of Jean Paul Gaultier's intense version of classique, combined with nut and praline. And I mean true praline. However, I get no coffee. On me this does not last long and the drydown is a quite soft, cereal-like vanilla with a tiny hint of praline and honey. I really feel like this perfume smells like Cheerios on the drydown, interesting.. This is a complex smell by all means and you will either enjoy it or not, no in-between.

Hazelnut aka nocciola is a quintessantially Italian smell/taste, and oh my god - never have I thought it could be so powerful in a fragrance. In a good way: it makes this gourmet goodness not overpoweringly sweet, but adds a bit of sophistication and gentleness instead. Absolutely beautiful, and although I don’t associate this smell with Passegiata Vittorio Emmanuele II at all (!!!), I would love to smell like this when strolling along.

My God this is delicious, hazelnuts, chocolate and a sweet, creamy and woody drydown. Smells very similar, but smoother to my nose, Blanche Bete. Something in that one is slightly off to me, this is just a super elevated better version IMHO. I would wear it all year round, but most people would probably like it best in colder weather. Feminine leaning, love it. Great longevity and sillage. And my hubby loves it on me.

I recently learned I'm quite picky with gourmand I like and shouldn't blind buy. This was one of my blind buys and I'm relieved to learn it's absolute heaven. Mostly get nuts, vanilla and musk with a but of coffee in the background. Though this smells like a fall winter fragrance I feel the coconut makes it possible for spring too. Probably too overwhelming for summer. But it's really THAT good.
