Acqua di Parma Profumo 2008 Acqua di Parma for women

Beautiful fragrance, a classic chypre. Reminiscent of "The Party in Manhattan" and (especially in the top peachy notes) of Mitsouko. Very harmonious, well-balanced. Unfortunately, the lasting-power is not what I expected from a fragrance which such a price-tag. I have to reapply after 3 hs minimum. The old-fashioned bulb-atomizer looks beautiful and it rests in a gorgeous satin box - a true de-luxe presentation. If only the scent lasted a bit longer... - but given this drawback, I'll certainly not repurchase, but buy a bottle of Mitsouko Extrait instead once my bottle of "Profumo" will come to its end.

I tested this yesterday, but I'm not sure if it was the new Profumo or the old one. Probably the new one.
I really like it! It's a complex, sophisticated, extremely rich refined scent! It may suit old fashioned tastes or a need for a deluxe night out!
It's warm, multi-layered fragrance with many nuances and a strong woody full body drydown. Very classy and suitable for a grand dame or a grand dame at heart!
Well, nothing forbid to wear it everyday, but the price is just crazy for my budget!
For sure you get lot of kickback for your money. It is long lasting, with good sillage and always changing on skin as old perfumes used to be.
The florals are mingled together and the drydown is rich in oakmoss. Absolutely a beautiful complex chypre that many would tell suitable for mature elegant ladies not under 35. Anyway the choice is left to personal tastes.

What a lovely fragrance. Kinda old fashioned with its floral, slightly powdery notes but absolutely very feminine and classy. I don't smell too much bergamot or anything sharp and didn't find the drydown too woody. But that could just be how the scent works with my body chemistry. Really worth trying. Too bad it's so outrageously expensive.
