Side by Side Review Acqua di Parma
Many of you asked for an immediate review on the two Acqua di Parma Fragrances that I picked up yesterday, so here is my initial impressions based on a 2 hours wear. First I would like to let everyone know that these fragrances were not cheap and I paid full price ($350 each) for 50ML bottles (only size available). As a collector of Acqua di Parma fragrances, it made sense to get them, and I personally wanted to get them first. I am blessed to be able to make purchases like this and really enjoy sharing my blessings with my family, friends, and Brothers! Introducing Acqua di Parma Zafferano Ambrosia - Extrait de Parfum (30% Concentration) and Acqua di Parma Gelsomino A Freddo Ambrosia - Extrait de Parfum (30% Concentration). You can definitely tell these are an Extrait de Parfum by the sheen of oil left on the skin. Ambrosia is defined as “The food of the Gods”, so the meaning in the naming methodology here is to indicate that the scent is not of this world. Zafferano Ambrosia (Not on Fragrantica yet) The opening is a strong Orange scent. At 15 minutes the citrus blast has settled down and I am picking up a creamy spiciness from the Ginger note. At 30 minutes I am starting to get the Leather/Floral scent from the Saffron mixed with the Citrus and Ginger. 60 minutes, at this point into the wear I am getting the sweetness from the Vanilla and Amber, but can still also smell the Saffron (the dominant note of this fragrance). At 120 minutes the dry down of this fragrance is a soft floral and semi-sweet scent that is well balanced and strong, but not overbearing. This fragrance has had movement since the initial spray and it may continue to change as the wear continues. Gelsomino A Freddo Ambrosia The opening is a blast of Frankincense. At 15 minutes I am starting to pick up some of the spiciness from the Cardamom. At 30 minutes I am picking up a green accord that is helping to settle the spiciness from the initial opening. I am also starting to pick up on the Myrrh note. 60 minutes, at this point into the wear I an getting a creamy and powdery accord that is soft and subtle. I am getting some of the woody notes and the fragrance is balancing out. At 120 minutes dry down of this fragrance is a citrusy, yet creamy and slightly powdery scent profile with dry and soft woods lingering in the background. There is definitely movement to this fragrance so this continue to change as the wear continues.

SOTD: Day Three Royal Reflection
#4 from the set. Very simple notes in this one. Definitely leans a bit feminine but it’s still nice. It opens with a nice grapefruit accord and quickly mixes with a fresh rose smell. I can actually pick it up in this one (probably because it’s the only note in the heart). The mixture of the grapefruit and rose gives off a fruity floral scent. The base only has musk which is slightly sweet and very nice. Won’t be full bottle worthy for me as it’s a bit to feminine. Might be a nice fragrance for my wife though. So far I’m 4 samples into the discovery set and I’m 2/4 on full bottle worthy fragrances. Not bad so far.

SOTD: Vanilla Collection 02: Unique, Hypnotic, Seductive by Zara #NoBuySept 28/09/2025
Finishing off the last of the Zara Vannila collection. Again this was part of a heritage set and set me back €26. Not too shabby for 2x100ml bottles of an edp. Again, we have a 3 note trick here, but where the previous had orange blossom, this one rocks Labdanum. When I first got them, iI recall liking the first one a little more than the second. But now im comparing them and they are both really good. The openining is rather floral bourban Vanilla, its still creamy & gourmand but not as warm as its predessesor. In the middle they have that amazing amber adds a resiounus depth & warmth. Then the labdanum at the base, aids the amber with a deeper Leathery vibe. Another bottle that seems to become more enjoyable with use. Performance is a touch weaker with about 6hrs & projection for approx 2hrs. On the dryfown Im also picking up a subtle inscense vibe which is really nice. A solid buy if you dig amber or Vannila. My Rating 6.5/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 1.5 Y/N 1
