Confetto Profumum Roma for women and men

Honestly, I dont find Confetto similar to HP. Confetto is such a wonderful liquorice almond in a bed of soft spices which I find a little bit herbal sweet through the minty vanilla in the background. The longevity is just amazing. One of the best perfumes I have ever tried. Definitely a masterpiece and worth the expense..

Edit: I have never ever smelled a perfume as long lasting as this one. Now its more than 1 month since I have sprayed Confetto on a paper and its still smelling like crazy in my handbag :) yummy

No comparisons~just a straight review. Sweet almonds, laced with anise as first applied. It's alllllll about the almonds, and I love that! They play with every single ingrediant but always stay the focus. It starts off rich and oriental feeling but as it dries down it becomes more candied and softer. The musk really takes the edges off and creates an extrememly rich skin scent. The amber is very well behaved and adds a grown up depth without ever overtaking the whole composition. Amber can so often do that. This is perfectly balanced and a fall/winter dream. There is quite a difference in spraying and dabbing with this perfume. Turns out~I much prefer the spray. Surprisingly it wears lighter. If you want that rich oriental goodness to last and last definately dab on pulse points.The anise will stay prominant for hours. Confetto's longevity is stellar! She's very loyal and will stay with you for day into night. I love this perfume~and so does my husband!

Profumum Roma CONFETTO wafts unmistakably of Dior HYPNOTIC POISON. This does not mean that anyone attempted consciously to imitate it--and then charge more for the perfume? No, it means that when one mixes almond, vanilla, amber, and musk with some oriental spice, a similar effect is achieved--and it's a beautiful one indeed. Sweet comfort scents are always a good thing--above all, in wintertime. (-;

In a side-by-side comparison of these two creations, I find that CONFETTO, while sharing a touch of the Playdoh facet of HYPNOTIC POISON, lacks the somewhat overwhelming root beer quality. This perfume is less sweet and more woody to my nose, particularly in the drydown. While the Playdoh and root beer of HYPNOTIC POISON persist and even grow louder over time, the take-away of CONFETTO is less insistent and more subtle. I prefer this composition, which also bears similarities to Keiko Mecheri DATURA BLANCHE. I would place CONFETTO about half-way between HYPNOTIC POISON and DATURA BLANCHE, the latter of which pretty much lacks both root beer and Playdoh.

I would not, however, go so far as to characterize CONFETTO as a unisex scent. It still seems too sweet for very many guys to be willing to wear.

I'd rather say that COnfetto tried to reach HP Dior but didn't reached even half of it! btw Confetto is posterior HP which was lounched in 1998 ... this one from Pro fumun ROma is indeed quite nice, clean jasmine and some almonds, but it's like taking HP after a few hours, when al the bitter-almond notes are over; it's like a more demure and "bourgeoise" version of HP, and I don't see the point? All the sensual, bitter-sweet,warm notes that I so love in HP are like erased here,washed away, photoshoped?
All the notes that give HP it so unique personality and strong character are missing, and what's left it's a milder, insipid, tasteless copy ...

Mint, too. Truly, a lovely fragrance.

It opens with a slight "play dough" note, but soon it develops into a very cozy, not overly sweet, powdery vanilla/sandalwood scent that reminds me of my childhood, and for some reason it reminds me of "fresh cardboard", but in a GOOD way... I am sorry that I cannot explain this in a more sophisticated manner because it does deserve to be respected, the more it dries down the richer it becomes. A Well rounded composition, and long lasting too.

What a darling among fragrances! It seems to be composed of all the essential elements - sweetness, sourness, bitterness, spiciness - all very subtle, immaculate and refined (but it's not all innocent, there is a touch of naughtiness in there!). It is intense, indeed, but in a dainty, silky way. Elegant excellence!
The bittersweet almonds are divine here and the anise (that I normally hate) adds an interesting, lightly sharp, but delicate accord.
While some scents with "gourmand" notes may create impression of edibility, in here it is almost as if it were the other way round - as if this was a super smooth, luxurious, and also decadent almond liqueur that smells so divine, you want to poor it all over your body.

An impulsive scent that creeps around you like a jazz melody and and snuggles soft on your skin like silk. The composition of vanilia and almond are melting with each other and afford an erotic velvet fragrance. Dior´s Hypnotic Poison used to be compared to Confetto, but never reached the level of that special breathtaking scent.
