TOWAK – :
Scent – italian vetiver.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, day or night.
Projection – I didn’t get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
Longevity – I get 6hrs consistently.

The glue smell may be the wormwood or vetiver? I am not sure but this isn’t one of my favorites from this house.
wiseforceexpert – :
Update…I wore this last night and my wife says: I smell glue, do you smell that as well? Where is that coming from? I suggested it may be my cologne, she smelled my arms where I applied and found the source. I like it but….

Kind of a woody fragrance with a hint of geranium, I guess it is the wormwood. For this house, not as great sillage or longevity as some of the others. Pleasant and won’t offend, I could see wearing this at work with no problems.

I applied Aquae Nobilis to my neck and chest this morning at 8:30am. It is now 5:13pm and I’m still smelling it wafting up from my chest. It’s been a form of aroma therapy all day long. It is a beautiful scent that does not smell like any other cologne or perfume that I own or have tried. Profumum Roma certainly does live up my expectations. The wormwood, geranium, vetiver and oakmoss are all blended together to make a well rounded parfum. Yes, all of PR’s scents are $250.00 (or a bit more) but this is a completly “worth your money” parfum house. I did not go full blast on the atomizer, about a half spritz in three places. PR’s scents don’t quit. Aquae Nobilis is definitely a beautiful powerhouse fragrance. I do have to say here that after wearing Aquae Nobilis a few times I am amazed the depth and range of parfums that Profumum makes. Aquae Nobilis is earthy, musty, deep and green. Yet Profumum’s Vanitas, is light, sugary, sunny and gorgeous. I guess that’s why I don’t have any desire to buy from any other niche house these days. Their Patchouly is my favorite patchouli fragrance too. All of them are just beautiful.

Do you have nivea handcream on you?
That is the reaction i,ve got and being unconsious about it i have to agree.
Not exactly like it but still, pretty close with added cutting green, terpentine like edge to it.
Not a bad scent and original in its way but not convincing either.
Performance ok

Aquae Nobilis- the quality of the ingredients and the blending here are both absolutely superb. It’s soapy, but simultaneously organic, scratchy, and earthy. The contrast between the fresh cleanliness and the slightly dirty earthiness is absolutely memorable.
The vetiver is nutty and natural (think Chanel’s Sycomore, but slightly cleaner), the wormwood adds a lovely forest green component, and the geranium adds a sweet, mildly citric freshness that gives the opening a borderline camphorous, minty-but-not-quite vibe. It sweetens up in the drydown, but it retains a sort of rooty scratchiness that feels perfectly unisex, and impressively distinctive,
I wish I didn’t love this so much, because I’m gonna have to pick up a bottle. As much as I enjoy a dirty, salty vetiver It’s nice to put my nose on something a little cleaner and more outwardly pleasant. The quality is apparent in the performance, lasting easily over 24 hours and projecting quite a bit.
9.5/10

Aquae Wormwood…
This is a little wormwood bomb. I was expecting AW to smell like absinthe, but this is the plant itself. This is absinth in moonshine form! I’ve worn this fragrance for 5 hours know, and the smell is still sustained. If you don’t like wormwood, then this is not for you.
For those of you who have not smelt the wormwood plant, besides the obvious (its particular herbal smell), wormwood has a little menthol/camphor-like vibe. AN’s wormwood smell is authentic and natural. AN is linear to me. After 5 hours is still smells the same as it did when I first applied it.
I don’t detect much of the vetiver and the geranium as individual notes. Perhaps they are well blended in this composition because there is something that is mixing well w/ the wormwood, giving it and added oomph. However, this is mostly a minimalistic composition; it’s all about the wormwood.
AN smells unique, distinct and alluring. Despite being a green fragrance there is something warm, comforting, and soothing about it.
AN’s longevity and stillage performance is impressive. The quality of the ingredients and true EDP concentrations are evident.
Despite its great quality, I give it 7.5/10 as an overall fragrance…as a wormwood fragrance I give it a 9.5/10. The reason for a 7.5/10 is that it is just wormwood in a bottle without much else evolving. It may score much higher on you if you are looking to smell authentically and uniquely wormwood. Great juice nonetheless.
ADVICE: if you are sampling this one, do make sure to sample with an atomizer. Do not just apply the fragrance directly onto your skin (as you would w/ those little vials purchased from LuckyScent). Somehow the atomizer stirs something up in this fragrance which makes it come alive and smell much better that way.

Very appealing, and a scent that commands attention without screaming “Notice me! Notice me!” In a room with quite a few people wearing a variety of fragrances, this one will stand out like a featured tenor in a choir. Needs restraint in its application though– can be intrusive if used with a heavy hand.

Very Nice Juice. “Distinct” is absolutely correct.
Mr. Doody has already listed the notes and I can confirm that they are all there.
However the juice is a little too light for me like most juices these days. Give me a heavier version of this that projects a lot more and I would buy this without blinking.
As it stands this is overpriced for the quality even though the idea and smell are genius.
I love the earthy qualities that Profumum Roma fragrances possess…very unique.
Too bad.
sirena – :
First and foremost, like most Profumum Roma juices, this is distinctive stuff. Personally, I am not a fan of Aquae Nobilis, but I can imagine others really enjoying it.
To me this is a very crisp and green scent. I tried it because I love the wormwood in Nasomatto’s Absinth and wanted to experience some other wormwood/absinth scents. The top and midnotes here have a strong green angle to them which I assume is a mix of the geranium, wormwood, and of course, the vetiver. The base is all vetiver and wormwood to my nose and my nose doesn’t like it.
Super distinctive. If you love vetiver and wormwood you may REALLY dig this stuff!

I think this is very lovely. I would enjoy spending time with either a man or a woman wearing this fragrance, and I would remember them by it.
