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.

SOTE - 404 Elixir
This is Dua's version of JPG Le Male Elixir, which I own and love. I have had this for about 6 mos or so. This opens with a bit more mint, but in about 5 minutes these fall right in line, nearly indistinguishable in the air and you really need to have them side by side and go back and forth to detect the difference, which ain't happening in the real world. I need to be clear, I LOVE Le Male Elixir, probably place in my top 10, but I dunno if would buy again if this one is still available. Who knows, I got about 200 frags so by that time it will be 10-15 yrs later😂

Lattafa: Eternal Oud
Giving some love to this spectacular member of my collection for a long time already. It’s and alternative to Maison Francis Kurkdjian “Grand Soir”. This one has a beautiful balance between a fruity sweetness, slightly floral, resinous, spicy and woody. It’s delightful, addictive and luxurious. It could easily be a cousin or Boss Bottled Elixir & Absolu. Performance is great. A must have in my opinion. #NoBuySept
