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.

Fresh Start October Challenge!!!!
I am sitting here thinking about the brilliant challenge brought to us by @Renato Carotti , and I would like to propose a new challenge originally brought to my attention by the brother mentioned above, but with some added caveats. Let's see. 1. Get out of the house and put our noses to Fragrances we haven't smelled before and give reviews. I say at least twice this month. 2. Let's query the Fragrances that we own and have not been reviewed already in this group. 3. Keep our comments down and replies unless we have tried the mentioned fragrance. A simple like would suffice and make it easier to decipher information. 4. Post upcoming releases and some information about the house. 1. Add what Fragrance does for you personally in replies. A full breakdown is okay, or just a general breakdown, such as memories, motivation, or how it makes you feel 1. Add attention to detail on Fragrance, such as Performance EX. Projection, Sillage, Lasting power when posting reviews or SOTD ! 2. Let's aim to provoke thought-provoking conversation! Let's ask fragrance-focused questions that may not have been answered!!!

SOTEvening: Day Three La Tacita de Cafe
#5 from the set. This one starts off with a decent spice and coffee. The coffee is very strong for the first 20 minutes. Like a fresh pot of coffee. The notes list orange but I don’t pick up any of that due to the coffee. After the first 20 mins the coffee mixes nicely with sugar and vanilla. Make it smell like an Italian coffee shop (at least that’s the image I get). The base has tonka and amryis giving it a sweet and woody essence. The notes list chocolate but it’s very subtle. Overall this is a nice fragrance with a strong coffee note. It’s definitely more winter weather worthy. Not the biggest coffee note fan so probably won’t be full bottle worthy for me.
