I'm going through about 10 samples of Profumum Roma. I sort of regret ordering them through Lucky Scent because they only give you enough for barely one full wearing. PR is one of those houses that I reeeally want to like, but the substance so far is just.....nice.😐 Nothing more.
I kinda agree, very linear and expensive. They're more of a smell than a perfume
I used to buy from Essenza, Parfumaria, PremierAvenue, but then all the shipping prices went up.
Heeley still has good shipping costs, anyways.
I picked up 89 and JF for a great price just recently. I like them.
Spot on. Floris's Santal does have a Creed vibe about it in the beginning.
It's not my favorite by them, but dam people like it when I wear it. Ya know, it's one of those things.
It doesn't last a long time on me, or I should say, I just stop noticing it.
I have Ambra Aurea and Profumum Roma's Patchouli. I haven't even opened them up yet.
I think the bottles are from 2014 or 2015. I picked them up from Osswald's NYC back in early 2016.
I have a few of their 18 mls. I got them actually from Parfumaria. back in 2016.
I have to go through those samples I got from Osswald's, which are still good.
There's one, I think it might be Aqua di Sale. The samples are hand-made by Josie, handwritten,
and it's hard to make them out. All I can say is that the last time I sprayed it,a year ago, wow.
Maybe it was their Aqua Nobile. Not sure.
If it is it, or whatever it is, I'll try and find an older bottle. I've heard about reforms etc.
I just might get some more samples from Osswald's. The price for sampling has gone up though.
I do have this lifetime code from them. Not sure if it's good for sampling.
Anyways, I don't think you'll like Aqua Viva. Super lemon, but if you like lemon, it's a good one to test.
Have a great weekend.
Someone else keeps mentioning aqua viva, apparently it's the biggest selling fragrance in Italy
i agree completely with your assessment of Floris fragrances having an air of austerity about them - i own four by Floris, and it's true for all of them.
I think thats their ascetic
@@RichMitch yes... when i wear mine, i often think: no way in hell anybody under the age of 40 should wear these
Good to hear ur thoughts on these Rich... I have never smelled any of them 🤷♂️
Sounds like I am not missing out😄
I am happy to have saved your time and money in this instance 🐏🦆
Thank you Duck. I really appreciate your 1st impression of Penhaligons WATA. I do like a Papyrus note though, so I may take the plunge as it would be easy to sell on over here.
That's no problem, I'd like to hear back about it if you did buy it. There's also a rhubarb vibe too, imo.
Jura!...He's back for more!
No!
🤣...
Sir, there is NO reality where 007 does not slap something on his face and chest after he shaves every morning...I am not doubting what you read but, the bubble that you would be bursting amongst us lovers, is a thermonuclear blast. Of course, Bond would use "aftershave"...The question IS, just one or would he pick amongst a small collection.
🙏
@@BobbyDior he uses guerlain lime bath cubes, definitely
marvelous
Tremendous
Nice review Rich Mitch - I have #89 - love its soapyness in the dry down - Floris Elite is a nice one too...But there are so many better options out there
Thanks Phil, nice name lol.
That's the problem when you develop a large collection, at some point you have to start prioritising quality over quantity or you're just wasting your money
My policy has always been to go through the entire sample before deciding on a bottle. Appreciate your thoughts on that new Penhaligons Rich.
Its a good policy. These really are just first impressions.
No problem, my pleasure
Ive been sampling alot myself brother.
What you been sniffing mate?
You try any other from Profumum Roma? Ambra Aurea is a favorite of mine.
I've got patchouli and arso, arso is _very_ similar to Fille en Aiguilles. I'm undecided on the brand as a whole
The world according to Duck
*quack*
Thirst! Excuse me while I quench my thirst!!
_parched_
How are YOU? I'm fantastic and I'm doing really well
