    I’ve had this for a while now, & every time I wear it I like it more than on the previous occasion, and it seems to reveal a bit more of itself that I hadn’t noticed before. I wouldn’t really care to venture exactly what the correct notes are; but I am very curious, because I find this fragrance so very inscrutable! Is it woody, floral, gourmand … what? It just sits there so poised between those categories. I’ll make a bid for a bit of lemon, a bit of orris, some woody component, and a generous helping of that trademark Acqua di Parma shimmery musk; but beyond that I bid not. And I hedge about even what I have just bid. It’s so very inscrutable.Now I’ll go and read the other reviews properly, and see what folks say the correct notes-list is.
    Didn’t do too well! Bergamot and peony I can clock now that I know they are there. I wouldn’t have thought there was labdanum and vetiver and patchouli in it. And I still maintain there’s some orris in it – to me that certain soft luminosity bespeaks it. I’m reluctant to say the colour of a fragrance when it’s actual colour is so conspicuous … but I really do think this is a yellow fragrance.
    I get the resemblance to Mitsouko now that I’m giving that fragrance an outing, but I would say it’s a lot sharper than this one. Not surprising really, given that oakmoss is the chief-voted ingredient in it.

    As some people have already mentioned here, the list of notes is incorrect and incomplete. According to Acqua di Parma themselves, the notes includes: damask rose and jasmine petals, patchouli and vetiver, as well as notes of sandalwood and musk. Why have so many fragrances listed on Fragrantica incorrect ingredient lists, it is a real mystery to me.

    According to the Fragrantica information for Profumo Eau de Parfum – Acqua di Parma (which I own and love), the notes are exactly the same as for this version.
    This is the information: “The fragrance notes are the same as in the version from 2008, but they arrive in a more luxurious package this time. Top notes start with luminous bergamot and continue with a game of ylang-ylang and beautiful peony. The central stage of the perfume introduces jasmine petals and Bulgarian rose, enriched with labdanum absolute which resembles amber. Gentle notes of musk and woody tacts of sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli linger in a base.”
    According to all of the reviews here (and Fragrantica’s grouping of this as a woody chypre) there are definitely notes missing here – the notes here are purely floral and don’t comprise the classic note pyramid of a chypre.
    This really does need to be reviewed and corrected by Fragrantica editors.

    A perfectly orchestrated classic chypre, holy grail material for the chypre lover. It’s the best version of Mitsouko I have smelled and it’s not even Mitsouko. And I love Mitsouko. I have it hoarded. But when I smell this I think “yes, this is it”. It is impeccably balanced, and it’s much easier to wear so if you “almost” love Mitsouko but can’t get along with the dusty and peculiar aspect that makes it challenging for some, give this a try. It’s like being transported in a time machine. It smells authentically vintage but like a fresh batch. It’s as good as just about any chypre on the market.

    Superb. Very special. Quality. Masterpiece. Real perfume. I feel totally privileged to own it.

    The name is well chosen: Profumo. Perfume. This is not an experiment, or ”perfume is the 8th art”, or a joke…this is a Perfume, a well crafted, harmonious, well balanced, good smelling Perfume.
    The daring perfumers with their experiments are interesting, of course.
    But this PERFUME…what a relief!

    Elegant and gorgeous. Very classic, without smelling old-fashioned or grandma-y. I can’t say much about the notes since I’ve never been good with chypres except that its a bit flowery, sweet and powdery as well (definitely NOT too heavy on the powder!) Only complaint is longevity. I love Acqua di Parma & especially as this is their original scent and costs the same as the Louboutin Bikini Questa Sera I reviewed where everyone was complaining about the price, and this is not a 3 oz bottle. Doesn’t seem to last on my skin more than an hour or so, which is a shame because I’d love to wear this to dinner etc. Not sure whether to just put it in my purse or pack something else.

    Got lucky and got the 2000 relaunch version in the maroon box(full 100 ml bottle too). I can see how it is related to mitsouko. .. I prefer mitsouko. the peach just gives it a whole new dimension. Maybe i just do’nt get it yet . hmmm

    Similar to Mitsouko edp ,but far better in my opinion.
    They share the same oily vibe ,but this one has the violets on stage ,which makes it pleasant.On my skin it is a linear scent . Can’t say I adore it ,but it’s rather nice.
    It could be also the “oily” version of Eau du Soir from Sissley.
    Presage from Atkinsons would be the non “oily” version of Eau de Parma for violet lovers.
    My bottle is an edp,from the description on the site ,one would believe this one comes only in parfum .
    New version ,long lasting ,oily violets from start till the end.

    Ever since my trip to Italy in 2011, I have been longing to find that juice that I smelled in many places I have visited there. In my search, I went through Bottega Veneta, Acqua di Parma Profumo and finally a french perfume by Sisley, Eau du Soir. I have to say that I was expecting a lot more from Acqua di Parma considering the hefty price tag. I don`t smell what is so special about it. Yes, it has a classy feel but no particular signature in my honest opinion. This is not, at least for me, a perfume that I would easily recognize on someone else. Consequently, I will stick to my Sisley Eau du Soir for the time being. However, if any of you have been to Italy and know what I am talking about here, I would really appreciate any suggestion of perfumes to try.

    Classic PROFUMO,, maroon packaging. Yes, most definitely opens like Mitsouko, but without the dark edge. Being aware that smells play mind games, this turns into a sweet gossamer entity, with intermittent flora fluttering around it. Evolving and unfolding, it breathes warmth and softness that seems to be lit from within. And how it persists! For a good eight hours I was enveloped in its protean beauty. Whereas Mitsouko reigns over sepia shadows, Profumo holds sway over a sun – dappled domain. Just marvelous!
    See how it reacts with your chemistry, then by all means splurge! Btw, maroon packaging is hard to come by. I love the reformulated version too.

    I recently ordered a bottle of Amouage Jubilation 25 which other reviewers have put into the same category as ADP Profumo. Naturally I had to see what I was missing so off to Saks I went.
    One hour has passed since Profumo was sprayed generously onto my wrist.
    Basically I get a heavier more floral version of Colonia>Colonia Assoluta. Although classy I feel that it has that typical ADP citrus/floral thing that runs rampant in their collection. Another twist on Colonia is maybe a better way to explain it.
    It’s a heavy scent with very little sillage and more FEM than MASC to my nose. It stays heavy and close to the skin.
    They now offer smaller 1.7oz sizes for traveling purposes..roughly $200+
    Somewhat interesting but NOT NEARLY as fascinating as Jubilation 25 or Mitsouko.
    Try before you buy.

    A truly wonderful scent, the price is justified and money is well spent when you get so much in return. Better just one bottle of magnificence than a thousand bottles of mediocrity. This is what I said to myself to stop my credit card guilty feelings.
    The scent is wonderful as I said, it comes from an age when scents were made with passion, dedication and art. Wearing it today is a hommage to good taste and the hope it has not completely gone lost.
    In certain moments it reminds of Mitsouko, maybe only for being a chypre but I would also add also for being a masterpiece that stands the passing of time without wrinkles on skin. Buy it if you like lovely scents that lasts a lot, if you like wearing something special, if you despise those modern scents which smell all the same.

    When reviewing this, it must be made clear whether you’re talking about the vintage or reformulated version, because as someone else mentioned before, the list of motes for the vintage would not look like the notes listed above. The vintage has an old-school chypre structure, complete with citrus in the opening and oakmoss peeking it’s head out througout the middle and the drydown! I’m wearing it now and it is nowhere near a powdery white floral. The vintage version is so cloes to mitsouko that if you like Mitsouko, you’ll love vintage Acqua Di Parma Profumo. It’s terribly hard to find in full bottles,and when you do, it’s more expensive than the reformulated version, which I’ve seen for as much as $250 or more! but there are lots of 5 ml minis avalable on ebay. Look for the Burgundy-colored box that’s usually pictured beside it.

    I think Fragrantica editors need to look at their notes on this fragrance more closely; they list it as a woody chypre (that fits) but the notes listed are pure florals, no mention of top notes and no basenotes. Confusing. “Playful composition”? Are we talking about the same fragrance? This is one serious perfume.
    This opens as a powerful, somewhat masculine fragrance on me. Some sharp notes from bergamot or similar, then I start to pick up the florals. They’re lovely and rich but not really sweet. Overall, this fragrance goes into overdrive in the woody-mossy-patchouli department rather quickly, and I reveled in the richness for many hours. Very long lasting. Very strong, use sparingly. Definately a unisex fragrance in my opinion.
    My later research into this perfume house indicates that this frag was geared toward men when it was first released, around 1912; later, it was reformulated to appeal to women as well. Other fragrance sites list this as a unisex fragrance.

    i got a sample of this as an extra swap gift ( thanks for Kittycat63 )
    my 1st impression was OMG this is strong for my taste ! Profumo is a sophisticated composition for women who embrace timeless elegance , kinda aromatic scent is comprised of heady citrus top notes .. iam surprised not seeing lemon listed up notes in here , i can smell it obviously then a burst of spice smoothed by base notes of precious woods and amber.
    a perfect perfume for those who love classics this is a truly classical chypre. If you like Mitsouko you may love thisas its very complex woodsy/incensey chypre to my nose as i see Mitsouko By Guerlain .
    the long lasting is more than perfect . 12 hrs on my skin .
    with no doubts its a master piece but not for me . Sorry Profumo !

    Had this for years and surprised to see here no note of lemon listed. Enticing very natural lemon, especially in the opening, which is never screechy sharp or pointy. Lemon fades quite a bit but hints of it peep through for a while, and continue to faintly color the experience throughout the remainder. While the heart and dry down remain fresh, the composition soon becomes more dry, it never turns sweet or rich. It becomes slightly powdery- iris? the orris? A noble fragrance, it may come close to getting soapy but thankfully never reaches or crosses that line. I would not call it sophisticated – too false, I’d say noble. Clean or fresh seem too simplistic unless said in context. It is a graceful fragrance.

    Right away it’s a round, smooth, comfortable-feeling chypre, like iris-scented whipped cream flavored with a little rose and plum. It’s not too powdery or overly floral, just perfectly balanced. Love at first sniff! And how could I not love it? This EdP perfectly evokes the luminous, tender, heady quality of being in love. It may have been reformulated, but it truly is a classic scent.
    As it dries down, it develops that wonderful frothy, mossy, slightly musky quality that’s found in the best of the classic chypres. With moderate sillage and amazing longevity (more than 12 hours on skin), it’s an all-around winner. Soft, sensuous, and glowing, AdP Profumo is the ultimate floral substitute for those who hate florals. It’s a must-try for those who love classic chypres. I don’t buy full bottles, but just might go for a mini or decant of this one.

    Masculine, dark and woody at the opening followed by burst of sharp lemon, it has some lovely incensy quality and the jasmin blends very well together with the fresh notes of lemon and dark wooods.
    The one thin i do not understand is the high price as I do not find this to be something extremely special. Ok, it’s good, has some wonderful chypre qualities and it’s extremely elegant, but yet fresh, but as I said – not special enough to pay for 1,7 oz more than for example, bottle of Montale.

    Plums, soft leather, resinous woody notes, a faint waft of animalic tones…very elegant and complex oriental.

    Incensy, with that mild paper note, similar to Bois d’Armenie. Then a bright high sweet note (myrrh?). Then the cuminy note strengthens but is balanced by the myrrh. Citrus over floral over spice/resin is the general drift. Lasts about 3 hours. Seems like it would be a good aftershave for a rich Italian guy. Definitely smelled better on BF than me.
