One thousand percent agree with the tiramisu comparison! The opening smells exactly like fluffy vanilla pasty soaked in coffee liqueur, and is so hyper realistic that I can actually recall the feel of spongey cake and dense layers of buttercream in my mouth.
The dry down is softer, letting the powdered sugar and vanilla shine as the cappuccino top note fades. Within a half hour this becomes a skin scent on me, which is probably for the best. . .
Despite being a lover of gourmands, Buonissimo isn’t a scent I’d like to project out on to the world. It’s just way too on the nose, no pun intended. Rather, I dab a bit on a wrist to sniff in secret when I need a little pick-me-up. (Very appropriate, given the tiramisu correlation.)
As with all Hilde’s creations, this is a joyous, playful perfume that will make you smile. Whether or not it’s worth a full bottle (and the accompanying price tag), is entirely a matter of personal taste – literally!

Could’ve just named this Grandma’s Kitchen. This fragrance comes to life with the sweet grounds of coffee beans and baked seasonal treats. Warm sugar-dusted sweets, flaky croissants, and caramel fills the atmosphere all embraced by a wallop of buttery vanilla to give you the cuisine experience. Food as a fragrance. You gotta ask yourself if this is something you aspire to smell like. This gourmand is also powdery but the dusty particles doesn’t begin to emerge until the 45min mark. It does get stronger as it warms on your skin and the fragrance begins to waft softly around you with the sweet cappuccino, baking spices and mouth-watering baked goods. Buonissimo is warm and comforting, morphs wonderfully and the dry down is the epitome of autumn at nana’s.

Smells like a Heath bar. Rich, buttery toffee. I love the scent but would probably never wear it as a perfume.

To me, this smells 100% like Tiramisu. I get the cappuccino straight away. This opens with a burst of espresso to me, with a hit of cream and an almost chocolatey essence, closely followed by the caramel and buttery notes. I just wish that first blast of espresso lasted longer on my skin. Dries down to a pleasant, creamy, buttery vanilla, but fades quickly for me.

Certainly as presented, Buonissimo, Hilde Soliani’s release that celebrates Luckyscent’s 15th anniversary, is a gourmand lover’s gourmand, and its note breakdown supports such a forecast.
From the opening I get more of a cocoa vibe before it dries down into its stated mix of croissant, vanilla, sugar, butter, cappuccino, and caramel, though frankly the last two contribute the least. It’s really not a caramel or a coffee scent at all, even though they both might very well contribute in the background. Rather, Buonissimo has the combined effective of smelling like a confectionery shop and a bakery at the same time.
Performance is quite good overall, and the pricing is fair ($160 for 100ml), especially relative to what the niche market is like now.
I’d offer the general admonition that Buonissimo might be unbearable for those who do not like sweet scents, predictably, and might prove redundant for some gourmand lovers like myself, but that it’s not so vanilla-centric and features a bready/buttery side renders it a bit of a departure from everything in my catalog. It’s not the least bit resinous, either, so it fails to overlap the vanilla/amber subgroup that.
It’s delectable and playful, clearly unisex and year-round friendly, though admittedly I’d be careful about when I wear it during the warmer months, and most of all, it’s a satisfying wear that works for me. I’ll certainly give some thought to nabbing a bottle.

Very sweet opening notes of vanilla, butter and a croissant type of smell. Fairly simple notes. I love sweet croissants, reminded me of them when I lived in Naples Italy. Possibly a little too sweet for office. The longevity is not that great, became a skin scent after an hour or two. Sillage is great initially but then lowers significantly after an hour. I love the smell but I don’t think for me it’s bottle worthy. Possibly if better longevity I would consider.

Italian cafe with a plate of almond biscotti and cappuccino. Very almondy with undertones of vanilla, butter, chocolate and more. Very wearable and not too sweet. Soliani is a great perfumer and makes some really interesting that seem simple but have a lot of depth.

I’ll repost what I mentioned about this fragrance in a fb group:
It smells exactly like the notes! You can smell each one individually, but they all blend beautifully together to give you the aroma of French patisserie. It also smells like a buttery vanilla cake with a side of extra foamy cappuccino to wash it all down. This is one of the best from Hilde
Edit: heavily reminds me of tiramisu or chocolate biscotti

Sampling this. It is straight up vanilla yellow cake batter with sweet vanilla buttercream icing. there is a slight hint of coffee. its very sweet, but not cloying. it comes close, but doesnt go over that fine line. if you have a sweet-nose, youll probably like it, but this fragrance is a bit too literal and too sweet to be wearable for me.
