Acqua di Parma Profumo Acqua di Parma for women

Normally I find classical chypres too earthy for my taste (Mitsuoko) but this one is soft. High quality and perfectly blended ingredients. Lemon, something slightly fruity, rose, ylang-ylang, spices, moss, patchouli, amber and vanilla. Luxurious and very very elegant

i got a sample of this as an extra swap gift ( thanks for Kittycat63 )
my 1st impression was OMG this is strong for my taste ! Profumo is a sophisticated composition for women who embrace timeless elegance , kinda aromatic scent is comprised of heady citrus top notes .. iam surprised not seeing lemon listed up notes in here , i can smell it obviously then a burst of spice smoothed by base notes of precious woods and amber.
a perfect perfume for those who love classics this is a truly classical chypre. If you like Mitsouko you may love thisas its very complex woodsy/incensey chypre to my nose as i see Mitsouko By Guerlain .
the long lasting is more than perfect . 12 hrs on my skin .

with no doubts its a master piece but not for me . Sorry Profumo !

Had this for years and surprised to see here no note of lemon listed. Enticing very natural lemon, especially in the opening, which is never screechy sharp or pointy. Lemon fades quite a bit but hints of it peep through for a while, and continue to faintly color the experience throughout the remainder. While the heart and dry down remain fresh, the composition soon becomes more dry, it never turns sweet or rich. It becomes slightly powdery- iris? the orris? A noble fragrance, it may come close to getting soapy but thankfully never reaches or crosses that line. I would not call it sophisticated - too false, I'd say noble. Clean or fresh seem too simplistic unless said in context. It is a graceful fragrance.

Right away it’s a round, smooth, comfortable-feeling chypre, like iris-scented whipped cream flavored with a little rose and plum. It’s not too powdery or overly floral, just perfectly balanced. Love at first sniff! And how could I not love it? This EdP perfectly evokes the luminous, tender, heady quality of being in love. It may have been reformulated, but it truly is a classic scent.

As it dries down, it develops that wonderful frothy, mossy, slightly musky quality that’s found in the best of the classic chypres. With moderate sillage and amazing longevity (more than 12 hours on skin), it’s an all-around winner. Soft, sensuous, and glowing, AdP Profumo is the ultimate floral substitute for those who hate florals. It’s a must-try for those who love classic chypres. I don't buy full bottles, but just might go for a mini or decant of this one.

Masculine, dark and woody at the opening followed by burst of sharp lemon, it has some lovely incensy quality and the jasmin blends very well together with the fresh notes of lemon and dark wooods.
The one thin i do not understand is the high price as I do not find this to be something extremely special. Ok, it's good, has some wonderful chypre qualities and it's extremely elegant, but yet fresh, but as I said - not special enough to pay for 1,7 oz more than for example, bottle of Montale.

Plums, soft leather, resinous woody notes, a faint waft of animalic tones...very elegant and complex oriental.

nice,sophisticated ,wearable classic smell.It suits woman 40 years old and up.it is veeeery long lasting but it is normal for this high price!! .lots of jasminein it......

Incensy, with that mild paper note, similar to Bois d'Armenie. Then a bright high sweet note (myrrh?). Then the cuminy note strengthens but is balanced by the myrrh. Citrus over floral over spice/resin is the general drift. Lasts about 3 hours. Seems like it would be a good aftershave for a rich Italian guy. Definitely smelled better on BF than me.

classic, luxurious and sophisticated
those are the best words for that pefume an smell marked by the quality of the mark,the concept of classic and refined perfume with a note of delicious iris and very balanced perfect in many senses with a beautiful end of red roses and breezes!
