Description
Heavenly ethereal and sensual fragrance. A gourmand treat of opulent, fruity notes (wild cherries, raspberries, Italian orange and bergamot) mix with floral accords of ylang ylang, rose leaves and jasmine, rounded off with sweet caramel. The base is composed of Madagascan vanilla, finest sandalwood and Siamese benzoin resin, flattered by white musk and patchouli. The nose behind this fragrance is Mark Buxton.
The bottle’s design is minimalistic, with the use of the finest French glass, decorated with three elegant black black bands, the spaces between which are inlaid with a precious 22 carat gold plating. The wooden stopper is oversized and it can also be seated under the bottle to create an unusual visual effect. The package is luxurious with a mystical black gloss and 2 gold-colored bands that replicate the design of the flacon. It was designed by Rainer Diersche.
The fragrance is available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum. It is made in France. Angelo di Fiume was launched in 2008.

My sample opens with a blast of alcohol which may be because it’s aged but all the alcohols go away in a minute and left me with a yummy scent which I can’t get enough of it
When I first checked it’s notes I imagined a very girly,fruity,super sweet caramelized gourmand something in the vein of Viva la juicys but I was wrong.ofcourse it IS gourmand and it is sweet but not a syrupy sweet fruity one.it’s caramel note reminds me of Xerjoff Lira’s caramel just that here it’s paired with cherry licore.all in all I can pickup caramel(not a gooey one),vanilla,a boozy cherry note,an unlisted tonka bean,an unlisted cacao,in a base of woody,slightly smokey,slightly balmy,slightly powdery notes.a gourmand for grownups which is wearable by both men and women.oh and yes,I can get the Pink Sugar vibe in it but this is like a more balanced,more refined,niche version of Pink Sugar
More than a Pink Sugar dupe It’s like a child of Xerjoff Lira and Cacharel Gloria on me
For now I’m adding it to my wantlist but considering it’s price further wearings will indicate whether I truly can’t live without it or not

A scrumptious scent for fall! This is happy laughter around a backyard bonfire, complete with caramelized toasted marshmallows! I wish the longevity wasn’t so poor, it’s not worth the asking price for sure. But it’s a unique caramel fragrance in that it’s not sticky sweet. It’s got warm spices and a slightly smoky hint in the drydown.
Scent: 8/10
Sillage: 4/10
Longevity: 5/10

This is basically Aquolina Pink Sugar plus a strong smell of woodfire smoke. I quite liked it, but the longevity was very poor.. less than an hour.

Yum! Just got a sample, this is very similar to my Diadema, definitely grabbing a bottle
Smoke? Poor longevity? No idea what fragrance some of you are referring to, I get no smoke and amazing longevity

I love the idea of a smoky caramel scent, so I had high hopes for Angelo di Fiume, but I think I’m going to have to accept that this combination doesn’t work for me in practise. Any hint of smokiness just seems to be blown out of all proportion on my skin (or to my nose, I don’t know which); especially when it’s combined with sweet edible notes it can tend dangerously towards smelling burned or even a little like barbecue sauce. Fortunately it’s not quite that bad with this one, but the smoky aspect does dominate quite strongly all the way through for me, leaving little room for the lovely caramel note, and none at all for the other components: I don’t get any vanilla at all, let alone flowers or cherry or other fruits.
The end result isn’t bad, exactly – the smoke overload is unfortunate because it overpowers the fragrance, but I don’t actually mind how it smells, and that caramel note really is very nice when it does come through. But it’s not what I was hoping for, and what other people seem to be getting from it: something sweet and delicious, just subtly enhanced by a hint of smoke. So I guess this isn’t so much a real review as a note to self (and maybe to others who react to smoky notes the same way I do) to avoid this type of thing from now on – it can only disappoint.

Gourmand, classy, adorable.
Angelo di Fiume is for lovely women that want THE very gourmand fragrance. I mean this is really gourmand, not very sweet, because (it can) feel too gourmand to be sweet. Linari is a “niche” house that use top quality materials so that’s why it smells really sharp. If you are looking for a more expensive and sophiticated version of the over-famous gourmand: “La vie est belle” from Lancome, you can give it a try.

On me it smells like Yves Rochers Nature Millenaire, which is not bad at all..
Such a pity, it doesn’t last long.

Angelo di Fiume is an extremely sweet caramel perfume which strongly reminded me of Lancôme’s sugarbomb,La vie est belle and YSL ‘s Manifesto.To me it’s just another girly fruity gourmand that makes me feel sick because of its exaggerating sweetness. Fot the price range I would go for La Vie est Belle or any other substitutes..Great lasting power maybe because of its excessive sugary stickiness.

I wanted to dislike it as two people whose reviews I follow have disliked it also, but I couldn’t. Yes it is very sweet, almost cloying, but nothing beats the fantastic smoky vanilla drydown.
It is almost angelic in it’s sweetness, it wraps around the wearer like a fog, blinding completely. I don’t really know if I will ever find an occasion I will wear this, but I crave a bottle of this. Why? Well, I don’t know. I just do, I find it simply non resistible.
As for the “generic” part, well I disagree. There is nothing too generic in ANGELO DI FIUME. It most certainly has niche quality, the notes are perfectly blended and the whole composition is flawless. Is it worth the 145 EUR? Doubt it.
But what can one do upon falling in love? 🙂

Linari ANGELO DI FIUME is a very sweet floriental perfume, with much more caramel than flowers, in fact. Although it is classified as unisex, I’d be very surprised if many gents took a liking to this. I’d even go so far as to say that this fragrance bumps up against the limit of acceptable sweetness for many gals as well. The composition seems similar to a celebrity scent intended for teens, except that the quality seems a lot better than most of those.
Aside from the sweet caramel, I smell a fairly big dose of benzoin, which is always a good thing in my book, along with the sandalwood-vanilla combination so often featured in designer floriental perfumes. Here, I grant, it smells fresh, not sour or stale or synthetic and seems to last forever (I eventually took a bath…).
Nonetheless, all in all, when all is said and sniffed, this fragrance seems to me to be redundant, and I cannot imagine very many people wanting to buy such a scent at the asking price, unless they have become smitten with the fancy bottle, in which case I’d recommend seeking out one of the more distinctive perfumes of this line.

This is my all-time favorite second only to SDV and DHI Vintage. Beautifully done masculine, fresh and fruity and gourmand. Delicious!
lypus – :
I’ve to resign to the fact that Linari’s fragrances are anything but distinctive or original. With the exception of Acqua Santa and Fuoco Infernale which, IMO, are the stand outs of the line, the rest of the offering is made out of trite and derivative designer compositions sold at high-end niche prices. Angelo Di Fiume is Linar’s take on gourmand and strikes as a cloying and banal vanille/caramel combo that smells like a puerile deodorant for 13 years old. The worst news is that it’s by one of my favorite perfumeurs of the new school: Mr Buxton.
Awful.
Rating: 2/10

Angelo di Fiumi (Google Translate says this means “Angel River?”) is very sweet. I get kind of a sweet pipe tobacco or cigar element in this scent, though I don’t see tobacco listed as a note. But yes, sweet smoke and cotton candy and fruits. Sort of an upscale, classier Pink Sugar, but much more polite and less “in-your-face” than that scent. It stayed very sweet while it lasted, but disappeared before I could detect the lovely base notes.
I’m not particularly interested in gourmands these days, but this is a nice example of this category if you enjoy these. It’s youthful and very pretty overall, and I have a feeling men will enjoy smelling this one on a woman.

When I close my eyes, I see fairies. Flowers, candies, fruits but not silly at all, just elegant and romantic! I love it:)

Finally the Linari line hits Fragrantica! This is basically a Sweet smoky vanilla with lemon (or citrus really as per the notes), soft and beautiful.
