Description
Fans of gourmand fragrances and unique compositions created of unusual notes will certainly look for the new fragrance by the house of Il Profvmo presented at the beginning of 2016. Il Profvumo puts in the first plan the gourmand composition of CARAMELLA D’AMORE this year.
Top notes of the new perfume Il Profvmo Caramella D’Amore wins us over with delicate notes of pistachio supported by caramelized nuts and hazelnuts in the heart of the fragrance. The blend of sweet nuts is additionally sweetened with irresistible and carefree childish chords of cotton candy and popcorn. The delicate, powdery and feminine chord noticeable in the composition, providing a characteristic dose of elegance is violet flower. Violets skillfully flirt and highlight the fine feminine thread that envelops gourmand elements. Caramella D’Amore is homage to gentle relationship between mother and daughter, signed by perfumer Silvana Casoli.
The composition of Caramella D’Amore is one of the most exciting ones for me, because of the most unusual blend of ingredients among all new editions offered lately, and I can’t wait to test it and share my impressions! The fragrance can already be found in sales, in classic bottles of characteristic design, in the amounts of 50ml EDP and 100ml EDP.
Besides the classic bottle, Il Profvmo presents this fragrance in specially designed flacon as a limited, luxurious edition. Caramella D’Amore Murano Edition is a special creation designed in honor of deep and intimate relation reflected in an unusual perfume composition. The irresistible composition deserves a spectacular flacon, according to the house of Il Profvmo, so the fragrance is also offered in a beautifully designed Murano bottle created by Venetian master glass-makers. This limited flacon hides 430 ml EDP.

This one is VERY skin close but the scent itself is lovely. A soft fluffy girly cloud of powdery violet sweetness. Can’t say I get popcorn or nuts much. You would expect a very nutty vibe from a scent containing walnut, pistachio AND hazelnut. But alas no, and as I said it’s a very soft feminine scent but the emphasis is on soft. There is a faint resemblance for me to the violet in John Galliano. Remove incense and aldehydes and add sweet gourmand fluff.
UPDATE: could faintly still smell this on my skin after a shower so it’s actually pretty long lasting, the 2nd time I wore this I noticed the silage was quite a bit more powerful then it seemed the first time I wore it as well.

It’s rare to find a scent on Fragrantica with more dislikes than likes or loves, and I wasn’t expecting it for this less than serious but very nice and surprisingly light pink sugary cloud of a gourmand. But on reflection it makes sense – it must be the very high price of Caramella d’Amore in combination with its category: as a fragrance it’s so innocently sweet and pink it’s a match made in heaven for a typical young girl… but definitely not for her budget! There are other pink sugary gourmands out there that cost a fraction of this one, and as a result offer a much better price/quality ratio, even though this is without a doubt among the best of its kind I’ve tried – more balanced and less overwhelming than most of its cousins. Still, “sweet, sweet and more sweet” is very much the main aspect of it, and sugar is the only note I can positively discern.
So you can see I’m a little conflicted about this: one one hand I can’t deny I like it very much, probably a lot more than I should admit at 32, and I’d very much like at least a decant so I could indulge in it behind closed doors from time to time, especially in the colder seasons. On the other hand, I don’t think it’s really worth the asking price. I don’t know – for now I’ll just call it a “like”, and time will have to tell which of these hands is the upper one…

I get very sweet violet rather than nutty or caramel. I see this as a youthful but pleasant scent.

Into the ebay pile. I was hoping to notice the cotton candy, hazelnut, and popcorn. All I get is Iris and Walnut. Not my favorite. It’s nice just too floral for me. Looking to swap in USA (even for multiple decants). I definitely see this as a ‘wedding’ perfume because it’s not offensive. It has projection but it has a lightness to it that makes it safe if your in a crowded place. Good for the office too.
Update a year later. Still available for swap/sale. Practically brand new.

Femminile?si
Dolce?ovvio, ma non stucchevole.
Apertura calma e ariosa accompagnata da un bel pistacchio che dura appena 1 minuto.
I 5 minuti che seguono mi ricorda malizia uomo deodorante anni ’90 con la scritta rossa.
Mi aspettavo un aroma gourmant bruciato di zucchero filato invece al mio naso una nuvola di caramella gusto fior di fragola.Da goloso avrei sostituito lo zucchero filato rosa con quello bianco!…vabbe’…Dopotutto si chiama Caramella D’amore!
La violetta che segue e’abbastanza sintetica tipo bath-gel. ma nemmeno troppo young.
Al mio naso niente popcorn,noci o nocciole ma qualcosa di salato c’è’.
Apre simpatica e delicata ma poi la fragranza vira aspra vivace e fragolosa,..ma tutto sommato rimane abbastanza versatile.
Piu adatta di giorno,in estate.
Personalmente amo mangiare il gelato Algida fior di fragola quindi non posso dire che non mi piace.
Non capisco i dislike…in giro c’è molto,molto molto di peggio.
Dopotutto i rapporti madre e figlia non sono tutti rosa e fiori o zucchero e miele!
Il flacone??naaaaaaaah aborro.

Love the smell, but I have to sniff very hard to smell something.
