Acqua e Zucchero Profumum Roma for women and men

Loved this I had a small sample sent to me and as soon as I sprayed it was a yes for me. Good silage and not bad longevity. Some of these gourmand scents don’t have much of either but this one is worth buying.

There isn’t too much to say about Orange Blossom, Vanilla and Forest Fruits as if you didn’t like any of those notes you probably wouldn’t be looking at this perfume or intending to wear it. I would say if you like sweet end perfume go for it. There is nothing not to like.

I can make out all three notes they are nicely balanced and all in all it's a lovely sweet perfume to wear I'd give it 8 out of 10.

AeZ really does smell like burnt sugar, along with a fresh, sugar-cane like note. After a while there appears a fairly strong fruity-floral note along with the burnt sugar. There’s a good bit of sillage, and it lasts for 8-12 hours on skin, and is still present after a shower. Once the fruity-floral ensemble joins the sugar, things stay linear through the drydown.

This is a pleasant gourmand scent that, despite its name, isn’t cloyingly sweet. I especially like the burnt sugar note. I’ve tried several fragrances from Profumum and liked them all. This is not my favorite, but it’s still unique and worth a sniff if you like dessert-theme scents.

Over-th-top, maybe, but oh so very addictive! Lots of vanilla sweetness but also a top note of some tingling fresh stuff - and the top note lingers for a looooong time. Aqua e zucchero is really strong stuff one doesn't need much of it to be noticed. It IS very much similar to Pink Sugar, which is only a little bit 'softer' and OK maybe less elaborate on the tangerine top note. And on the wallet. Although Pink Sugar evaporates a bit faster.

COZY COZY COZY!!!! Move over Pink sugar, you are play-school compared to this beauty! So glad to have discovered this high-end Niche.
It opens with a cheerful orange blossom/spun sugar/vanilla, and it lifts your spirits immediately.
I am also pleasantly surprised at how "natural" it smells, my nose does not detect any nasty chemical/synthetics, (if there are any, which I doubt, then they are very well hidden!) The sillage is not too overpowering, especially given a few minutes to settle, by then, you are surrounded in a pillow of comforting vanilla marshmallow.....HEAVENLY!

This is a really sweet but great fragrance. It has a great staying power as well and is not making me nauseous or giving me a headache.
I usually am not that much into very sweet fragrances but this is an exception! It is also really expensive though, so I am looking for something else that smells alike. Pink sugar I heard is much simpler, so if anyone has other suggestions?
I love acqua di sale as well, which is very different, but also fantastic.

I love this perfume so much I'm positively giddy and giggly. While I smell the cotton candy reference, it's at most peripheral to the most perfect balance of orange blossom and vanilla that I've ever experienced. There's very definitely a carmelizing sugar smell but it's more like the way cotton candy smells when it's being spun. After about half an hour of development you detect a sharp acidity that must be the forest fruits (whatever they are). The sharpness is close to the skin but makes this an adult juice. Sweet for sure but sweet the way wonderful French champagne is. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Just came back from rome...
And finally bought aqua e zucchero, with showergel and lotion.

IT IS FANTASTIC!!
I was affraid it would be to sweet, but is is not, and you smell the quality, and I do not understand that some revieuwers ( at others sites) that they compare it to aqualina.NO WAY!!

It is delicious creamy, and for me so far the only vanilla that is not getting boring 'only vanilla'
I also bought the new profumumscent, batito d'alba, gorgious, I keep it for summer.A more friendly, classy scent.

WOW! This is amazing! Totally ADDICTIVE! I love it so much, it is so comforting, sweet and luxurious. In my large collection of gourmand fragrances, this very well might be the most delicious and distinctive. Luckyscent has sent me a few samples of this over the years, and it took me a while to really "get" it. My initial dislike of Aqua e zucchero is that it smells quite like pink sugar, which I hate. It is different though, obviously of higher quality- soft and well blended cotton candy, vanilla and berries instead of pink sugars screamingly synthetic straight forward sticky sweet cotton candy. The vanilla in this smells almost identical to the one used in the same lines Vanitas- another fume I love (which is for some reason not on this site).
Maybe PS just didnt work on my chemistry, but Aqua e zucchero smells great on me. SS chia also has a similar smell, but once again, it does not smell good on me, but better than PS. I would suggest this to people who like pink sugar but want something a little more adult and frankly, worlds prettier. You obviously do not have to like PS to enjoy this one, but if you arent up for a dead on berry cotton candy scent that lasts for many hours, pass on this one. My roommate said when he smells this he can practically see someone twirling the stick for the fresh, gourmet berry cotton candy- and hes right! He made a comment about ps being watered down, and smelling more like old, wrapped expired cotton candy and once again I agree with his nose, although I pick up a ton of anise as well in PS whereas its totally absent in this. I love to wear this perfume, it makes me happy every time I wear it and my roommate and other guys love it on me, it really brings joy to those around you if they like sweet scents. Sometimes I spray my sheets, clothes and GLOVES! I sprayed this on my cashmere gloves and even when I smoke a cig with them on, theres always that sweet goodness that is Aqua e Zucchero. The lasting power of this is amazing on cloth, and pretty good on skin, too.

I have tried mixing it with other fumes as well with great results. I love it with tihota, jalaines vanilla and Vantitas, Blue Sugar, Miss dior cherie, Coco Mademoiselle but my favorite combination is Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin by Guerlain and this. Its like a gourmet candy store on my skin and I cant get enough of it! It is a great scent to layer!

This is not for people who do not like sweet, foody or gourmand scents.

It seems every site has the liquid in this different colors, but now that I have gotten mine I can tell you it is light yellow juice (similar color to vanitas, but less pigmented.) The bottle is expensive, but also very large at 100ml.

I would suggest sampling pink sugar, ss chia and Aqua e Zucchero if you love cotton candy scents. Aqua e Zucchero is flat out delicious and it changed my mind forever on cotton candy fragrances- I used to hate them, but Aqua e Zucchero is so perfect with high quality vanilla and berries mixed with some sort of expensive candyfloss. BTW the body products by pink sugar like the whipped moisturizer smell more like this and less like my unflattering pink sugar description and layer well with this scent :)

Men go bonkers for this scent more than anything else I have tried. I have 2 half empty bottles, one in my living room and one next to my bed and I know I will never be without this fragrance, I think if it isn't the best gourmand of all time, its way up the list! I have tried thousands, and this is top 5, sometimes even my number 1, depending on my mood. I had to make my roommate a decant for his sheets, it's his hands down favorite out of all of my 200ish perfumes- and I make him smell them all! So the verdict between the men and my life and myself is the same, this perfume is amazing- if not the best, one of the best.

Good luck

UPDATE:
I just had to order 2 more bottles :) As I said, I cannot be without this fragrance and mine are getting pretty low. I want to give him the half full bottle because he loves it so much on his sheets and I noticed his decant was getting low. I want both him and I to enjoy my fragrances to the absolute full extent, and that includes sheets and occasional air freshener uses. If I couldn't afford to use it the way I do, I wouldn't, but I can, and with that in mind I want to enjoy this fragrance all the time... I have never used a bottle so quickly lol! I think this perfume will be a life long obsession for my roommate and I. I can't imagine growing tired of its comforting sweetness and luxurious aroma.

Still not a fan of Pink Sugar, this is worlds better after extensive testing on both fragrances. This is the ultimate gourmand comfort scent that everyone who enjoys should be allowed to experience at least once (even though I did not like it for a long time and many tests). It grew on me so much it became a favorite.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS! I would have to get 10 bottles if I even heard rumor of discontinuation, after Tihota got discontinued I am totally freaked they will stop making all my favorites. :(

First impression: Way to sweet cream cake filling, sugared berries, strawberry oil?
Almond essence (like the one you use in cooking) in the background. Cottoncandy, that's it! Overly sweet pink cottoncandy without the burnt notes.
An hour into the drydown it's very powdery.
I wasn't gonna give this scent one more chance but then I got the soft and powdery drydown..
After that, I keep coming back for more..

This delightful fragrance has - in spite of its strong character - something innocently angelic in it. It is very potent, don't get me wrong! Powerful and lasting, strong and sweet, yet it's also dainty somehow and as "ossini" says - fragile. I am getting the vanilla and forest fruits, but in a luxurious, but subtle and somehow elusive way. Delicious and inviting, this is truly magical gem - sumptuous and chaste at the same time. :-)

this fragrance is without any comparison. The simple ingredients-- orange blossom, fruits and vanilla are a complex composition that evokes 'La dolce vita' on my skin.Acqua e zucchero is analagous to 'the HAUTE COUTURE of fruity florals'. Expensive but I wear this regularly; its been over 3 yrs and I still have about 15 ml left...stunningly sexy .UPDATE; JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER BOTTLE

Aqua e Zucchero is not simply “Sugar Water”, its a high premium perfume, a very soft sparkling fragrance, very fragile, not gluey or sleazy.
Although its not childish it reminds me of being a child on the safe hand of my grandfather who always spoiled me by buying me sweets and little toys at the kermis....
Its like a memory of the joy I had on the little carrousels or the happiness I felt riding on a clumsy little Haflinger Pony. It also brings pictures in my mind of my smiling grandmother, who watched me eating Cotton Candy and caramelized roast apples in my good Sunday dress with the patent leather shoes.
I would like to describe Aqua e Zucchero with the colour “rose” or “soft light pink”.
It can be compared to Aquolina – Pink Sugar, but its more natural, gentle, delicate, mellow, and higher premium. The delicious sweet smell of Cotton Candy will charm you.
A fragrance that will enrich your life and brings delight into the life of people that will be so lucky to smell Aqua e zucchero on you.
