What Fragrance Did You Use Today?

Profumum Roma - Acqua Viva

Finally broke this out today. I had some issues last year with getting a minor skin reaction, but so far so good. And speaking of good, this is the gold standard for the citrus masculine in my book. I don't know how they manage to make it feel like the lemon in there the whole wear, but I swear 8 hours later I'm still getting that oily citrus rind feeling I love. I think the real magic here though is the use of broom that gives this a fougere like twist it's both bright and grounded. Fantastico!

Parfum d'Empire - Tabac Tabou
An amazing, if niche tobacco. It actually took me a number wearing to realize it is a tobacco, as narcissus is the leading note for me. It's giving a petroleum product, gasoline type vibe, but under it lurks a fantastic tobacco note. Think OR Black done with a budget.
 
Acqua Viva again today. Perfect summer scent from Profumum Roma.
I was a bit on the fence about the house last year, but this summer, they are really moving up in the rankings with a few great offerings. In fact I just ordered Acqua di Sale today.DSC01930.jpg

Profumum Roma - Acqua di Sale
Seaside near the myrtle trees. This took a bit to grow on me, but now that I 'get it' it's just fantastic. It's really about the fresh myrtle note gently wafting in the sea breeze. Like most Profumum scents, it's simple, not a ton of evolution, but it's so well done that it shouldn't be more.
Have a full bottle incoming.
