Profumum Roma Eccelso Eau de Parfum opens with a zesty citrus, slightly bitter and tangy, that gets blended with earthy spiciness before tangling with fruity-floral sweetness. The musk comes in within 15 minutes and brings all the notes together. It was more linear for the first hour, then sweetened...
is a crisp, cool, and earthy scent that was lightened by mint over patchouli, which was initially on the damper, earthier side and then gave way to a more unsweetened, cocoa-like powder smell later on. The drydown added some muskiness and tamped down the initial mintiness, which meant it was...
Profumum Roma Acqua Viva Eau de Parfum is for lemon lovers; it starts with bright, zesty lemons with a hint of greenness before citrus blossoms emerge. The lemon turns almost candied at times, which lasted for four hours, and then the citrus florals started to takeover until they were the star in...
Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero Eau de Parfum is a sweet affair of sticky, syrupy red fruits and caramel-vanilla that took awhile to decide which direction it wanted to dry down in.

There was the unmistakable scent of orange blossoms in the air, but they were one component that was highlighted. Orangea felt like the full picture of fresh...
Profumum Olibanum Eau de Parfum is an ode to incense, myrrh, and sandalwood with citrus that weaves in and out of the composition, sometimes asserting itself as tarter, more lemon-like and later on, more like orange blossoms with a sweet floral quality. Incense was the strongest player for most of...
Profumum Roma Confetto Eau de Parfum is a creamy, almond-vanilla duo that starts its journey with spicy, aromatic anise that is gradually joined, and then overtaken, by darker amber and musk. While a sweet, nutty fragrance, it was nowhere near as sweet as some of the more gourmand perfumes by...
Profumum Roma Antico Caruso Eau de Parfum starts off with bright citrus and lavender before almonds added a nutty, creaminess and enhanced a hint of spiced vanilla. As it wore on, it was nuttier, woodier, and smoother as the sandalwood married with the almond and left the citrus behind.
Profumum had a...
