A very fresh herbal scent. Nothing ground breaking, but the quality is there.

This smells like an very old lady perfume ! Niche? Ha ha… If you know those 2$ spray bottles called ‘Impulse’ well this is exactly that! At first sniff it reminded me of those!!

This sucks as an overall scent for a woman or a man. Big disappointment for ADP. Definitely for a woman. Very Bad performance in sillage and staying power. The weakest of the Blu Line
kupiviagra – :
Purchased this without ever smelling. Virtually zero longevity coupled with no sillage. I noticed about 20 minutes of jasmin and a hint of citrus. Terribly letdown. It’s a bottle of disappointment.

I LOVE ACQUA DI PARMA!
Blind bought this – Chinotto!!!! It grabbed my attention!!! Hmm Chinotto as a significant scent!!!!!
Well – BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
Basically this dries down to a week floral MOSTLY JASMIN. The chinotto and orange fade (actually it smells more like Sprite lol) with the first few minutes to the Jasmin with a mere specking of Rosemary Cardamom and Chinotto and even a slightly powdery feel. I had to pour it on to get the CHinotto to present itself longer and more projection which at that rate would mean it is going to be empty pretty quick and even then it faded within 20 minutes.
It has less projection than my fave Colonia Club, Mandorlo di Sicilia or Cedre de Taormina. Its far less than Arancia Di Capri.
It reminds me of my mums subtle perfumes of the seventies (I vaguely recall – was it Magriff?) – hence I think this is definitely a scent skewed more to the ladies.
Sadly, again I think this is one case of creative naming and I certainly can not understand the large votes for the Chinotto note.
Not I think destined to become one of ADP’s signature scents.
Happy Smelling
EDIT: I just read Fablab and mirjam.kodi ‘s reviews and realised I’m spot on with regard to this – I also read @Ralphangel review and seriously wonder with such vague but blustering praise as to whether he has even smelled the scent???

My first thought sniffing this was “I like this, but I can’t buy it, I already own Diorella”. Has basically the same general smell as Diorella but a bit stronger and fresher, perhaps less unisex and more masculine. When my bottle of Diorella is finished I think I will buy this, as I prefer this to Diorella just slightly.

I received a free sample of this today. It reminds me of slightly soapy, milder version of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid. It has the same effect on me too – love at first whiff followed by a headache inducing dry down, so, sadly, one for me to avoid. I really wanted to like this because I love citrusy perfumes on the whole, but I think I would prefer a little sweetness added to this one. Never mind though, at least it was free!

un updated Diorella

The most feminine leaning out of the BM line, although well made and an overall good blend, my least favourite unfortunately. Just not something I could see myself getting into. I will let this one slide though on account of the absolutely stunning range of products from Blu Mediterraneo.
-This would be great on a woman!
Aganemnon69 – :
On my skin, the drydown is extremely floral.
For this reason, Chinotto is more a feminine scent than unisex one

This Acqua di Parma perfume ” Chinotto di Liguria ” is absolutely one of the best citrus fragrances out on the market. It’s a combination of fresh citrus with incredible sophistication. It smells classy and expensive. Also, the silage and staying power is top’s!
abilina – :
I was sure that I will love it as I’m a sucker for all citrus scents AND St Pellegrino Chinotto.
I was wrong.
This perfume has no citrus whatsoever on my skin. The beginning is slightly fresh and maybe even little bit sweet, but it dries down to powdery very-very quickly.
At first I thought that the longevity is also poor, but after 1,5h I can still smell it on me. I was hoping for somethin more like other Aqua d. Parmas perfumes, more bold and loud perfumes, but Chinotto is quite and peaceful.

I had a sampler of this new scent sent to my house to try. At first whiff, the words oriental chypre came to mind. Smelling this is very nostalgic for me, it reminds me of spicy fragrances that were popular in the 80s and this one specifically reminds of Salvador Dali Parfum. It’s crisp, effervescent and citrus at the beginning and then the warmth of the cardamom and savoury rosemary push through as it dries down. The longevity is slight to moderate. One thing I learned about describing fragrances is to close your eyes and imagine a colour when smelling this scent and I would probably pick yellow.
opera – :
So nice old school citrusy fragrance. Reminds me of Eau Sauvage or the regular AdP Colonia. This is how Hermes Citron Noir should have really smelt.
SERYJA – :
This starts absolutely beautiful.
For everyone who knows how Chinotto is: the beginning is just like that. Tart citrus.
After about half an hour it loses my beloved Top Note and doesn’t have too much in common with Chinotto anymore.
After several hours it dries down to resemle O de Lancome a lot, might be the rosemary and jasmine.
I will have to retry this one, but I am a bit disappointed after such a beautiful beginning.
Very long lasting.

If it’s as good as S.Pellegrino Chinotto, then I’m already a fan.

I SOOO want the big bottle when it comes out! I know I’m going to love the scent!
