Scent – vanilla soaked almonds.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, during the day.
Projection – I did get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
Longevity – I get 12hrs consistently.
FlupRumma – :
I had to try this, just reading the reviews and because I love Hypnotic Poison. Confetto is indeed beautiful, really unisex in my opinion. I get a lot of anise but a kind of “green/medicinal anise” which turns me off (same smell as a French bottle of alcohol named “Pastis”). Too much of it… I think it is taking over the creamy almond/vanilla combo, and that is why I won’t buy a full bottle.
Longevity is 9/10
Sillage is just ok 5/10
I am a fan of Hypnotic Poison, so PLEASE, there is maybe a slight similarity, but NOTHING to compare with Dior’s master piece!
bns768JeomiWogkig – :
The initial blast of anise was quickly followed by fluffy vanilla and almond. Then overwhelming mint. Smells spot-on like cleaning out your purse and sticks of gum have been tumbling around in there for months amongst a compact and a few loose nuts.
(MrWhite) – :
Absolute gourmand heaven without being too sugary or syrupy. The almonds, anise and vanilla are perfectly balanced. It’s expensive but worth every penny, my bottle lasted 4 years, and 2 sprays last for two days! Extremely good quality with the best, somewhat oily ingredients. Which to me is indicative of the best niche product. Btw,the whole Profumum line is top notch. This is definitely a compliment generator. Loooove this. 10/10
emelanenko – :
Perfumes like this are why I sometimes hate myself for ordering luckyscent samples. I already have hypnotic poison, love it, have tried many “dupes”, none have ever surpassed HP, but it’s fun to explore different “versions” of scents I really like. So I thought I’d be safe to try such an expensive scent just for fun and not and up “needing” it. Nope. Wrong. This smells so much like HP, but like the ORIGINAL formula, not the reform! 😀 Needless to say, I want a full bottle already.
andr4uk – :
Sweet sweet beauty. I bought it for my wedding in Mauritius and it stood up to the heat very well. 1-2 sprays got me compliments around the resort hours later.
Fun fact #1: I bought it from supplier who just got a fresh batch – the juice had a yellow color. I was a little sad because I thought having a picture of a pink wedding fragrance would be so cute. I went back to check with the shop and they said it needs to sit for a few weeks to get its pink colour. It started turning pink right after the big day and now it has its final hue. I forgot about the picture anyway.
Fact #2: I got two compliments on two consecutive nights from two different people which sounded pretty much the same: Oh you smell so nice… Is it hypnotic poison? 🙂 Somehow people do get that impression.
armin_86 – :
D&G Dolce Garden (2018) is extremely similar to this, just for your information.

I kinda love Profumum Roma.Confetto is a delicious,warm,
gourmand,sweet and comforting blend of vanilla and sugary almond with a nice touch of clean musk and with a wisper of licorice flavor from a bit green and moderatly fresh anise.
This fragrance is in the middle of the road between being in love and being comfortable.It has some similarities to Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior.

Silage/Projection – 9/10(heavy projection and silage for the first 3-4 hours)
Weather -best in spring,autumn and winter.
Age – 23+
Compliments – 9/10
Scent – 8,5/10
Main notes according to me – vanilla,almond,musk,amber,anis.

Confetto is a little bit linear scent but in a good way.
Emotions -warm,intoxicated,seductive,comforting,delicious,love.
Occasion -for more or less any ocasion,perfect for romantic evening,dates and nights out.
You’ll get compliments with this fragrance
geragsv76 – :
I have got to admit that I have never liked the smell of almond in most perfumes. Maybe it is the addition of the vanilla and musk that makes this the best smelling almond perfume that I have ever smelled. It has this sweet creaminess to it that is so cuddlesome, but yet sexy. Tried a sample first and then a full bottle. This is something I want to wear whenever I want to feel really clean and polished, yet soft and sexy. This is just so good.
Ivanchik21 – :
Hypnotic Poison walked out of the Sephora on the first floor, and took the elevator all the way to the penthouse, losing all that headache-inducing tuberose along the way. Very nice. Similar to Cara, but I’m gravitating toward that one. Also: according to Luckyscent, this features sugar almonds, but no official vanilla.
CrazyFish – :
One of my favourite perfumes!
OMG, not only is this the most delicious smelling almond vanilla, this scent lasts all day long. 12+ hours. And prepare to get compliments! Lots of compliments from both men and women.
Sugared almonds. Almond cookies with icing sugar. These images will float in your mind while you wear Confetto. Be careful not to eat your arm up or shirt on where you sprayed! Lol.
I have seen some comparisons made to Hypnotic Poison and Mmmm… Personally,, I find all three different. HP and Mmmm have Sandalwood, Confetto doesn’t. And on me Confetto lasts twice as long as HP.
Confetto is expensive but worth every penny! And I’ll definitely repurchase this perfume again.
scabscige – :
After another wear, this is not a sweet fragrance on my skin, not like some others I have. I get the vanilla and almond but the background/drydown is more spicy, not sweet. Great combo and bravo for another great fragrance from this house.
refor – :
Unlike many perfumes that go for a gourmand by creating a “baker’s paradise” kind of smell, the confetto is all about an assemblage of the pre-bake materials: rolled almond, crushed anise, bottled vanilla. This perfume hugs the skin, flirting around your nose, giving you glimpses of liquorice and amaretto. While not my usual smell profile, I would wear this over other gourmand scents because I prefer food smells that have not been baked in, ie. don’t remind me of how hungry I am. Instead, confetto reminds you of the glamour of the kitchen by returning you to the market place, reminding you of the need to choose the right ingredients, to think about cooking as a process of small steps, the discreteness of the elements, their distinctness. More anise would be welcome.
ervetiks – :
gorgeous longlasting dupe for dior pure poison imo! love it! not that cheap unfortunatly..certainly worth the price.
rolexreplica46496 – :
Absolutely intoxicating and beautiful for summer. Confetto tells a story. Initially thought it smelled too reminiscent of sunscreen on me, Banana Boat-like! Which I found so strange. But soon the anise and bitter almond cut through the sweet which initially feels so enveloping. It is a magnetic almond too, feels like an aura. Confetto then dries down into a very fine, light musk. The amber is mature and sophisticated. Something I could wear all summer long. Profumum delivered again. Last I sampled was their Ichnusa which is a green, unripe fig + leaf masterpiece.
plast705 – :
Confetto is delicious and a total cure for my sweet tooth. This is sugary + almond + vanilla’d delight that lasts forever on my usually perfume-devouring skin. The anise is just a little pinch as it would be in a perfectly balanced confection. I love every single morsel of Confetto – even the name of the perfume is deeply satisfying to my palete. It is so scrumptious. This is something I would like to wear while I am vegging out and relaxing around the house with my favorite people. I can’t wait to sample this in the colder months when I am suffering from seasonal affective disorder 😉 This perfume doesn’t make you think or be moved in the way that some fragrances do, it only comforts.
GansREliot – :
Love this fragrance, can’t gp wrong with almond and vanilla. It is one of my new favories from this perfume house. Sillage is moderate, which is ok as you wouldn’t want a beast with almond/vanilla. Longevity is good. I can see wearing this day or night, formal or casual. I’d grade this a sold A for sure.
zxc – :
Confetto is definitely one of Profumum’s offerings that caught my eye the most when looking at its note breakdown and hearing some of the buzz about it.
The first descriptor must be that it’s sweet—almond and vanilla dominate my experience of it. The second descriptor has to be that it’s feminine. Confetto doesn’t walk the line between masculine and feminine so evenly like a vanilla-dominated fragrance but rather leans toward the powdery, cotton candy, candied almond vibe. Anise provides a tempered bitterness but it’s little match for the sweetness of the vanilla and candied almond that are most noteworthy.
Performance is, as expected, very good for a Profumum Roma fragrance, but Confetto is simply a bit too feminine for me, even with my love of sweet and gourmand fragrances. Surely I’d prefer to be smelling this on someone else while knowing it is not quite versatile enough to work well for many men. Slightly enjoyable but not something I’d wear again.
6 out of 10
Vadjawka – :
Save your hard earned cash and buy a bottle of ‘Forbidden’ by Police instead which is even better. I love Confetto but Forbidden is a tad sweeter, last just as long and costs a fraction of the price.
Volodya Hlop – :
Sometimes you wake up craving uncomplicated, warm, non sticky sweetness, and unconditional comfort, and sometimes the perfect sample arrives in the mail. I’ve read a lot of comparisons to Dior Hypnotic Poison, and I can really see this, but IMO, Hypnotic Poison was (is) more cloyingly sweet. (Don’t hate on me for saying this. DHP was my signature until I got pregnant). Confetto has more of the musk I crave,with none of the headaches or nausea, making it more similar to Ava Luxe Vanilla Musk than DHP, but as usual, i digress. Today I needed comfort, a very specific comfort, and I found it in In Confetto Profum Roma.
Nataly86 – :
As a hypnotic poison lover who struggles with it’s lasting power I thought this would be a great replacement. I first tried a little sample from lucky scent and I thought it was amazing and almost to good to be true. I then went for a 10ml decant and I’m glad I did before going for a full bottle. It’s still lovely but will never be as nice as HP. Yes it has better lasting power but that’s it. Sometimes you need to experience a perfume with the atomiser before you can tell what it’s really like.
It’s basically HP but not as sweet, better lasting power and quite plain in comparison. It is a beautiful scent but it’s not a replacement for hypnotic poison.
KLYBOK – :
Simply wonderfull long lasting dreamy fragrance. I love almost all Profumum Roma scents. I have 5 of them. Vanitas, Soavissima, Arso, e Acqua di sale. Confetto is angelique but in the same time sparkle, it make me up.
TURNMISMSOURB – :
This is going to sound horrible but on me this smells like old orange peels that have been sitting in the trashcan for some time. Being a massive fan of Hypnotic Poison I had high hopes for this, but it just doesn’t work for me.
EDIT: Two hours of walking in the rain wearing my synthetic leather jacket later the shriveled orange peels have dissipated leaving something vaguely vanillic and almondy in the borderlands between Dior Hypnotic Poison and Reminiscence Dragée. Not bad, but practically a skin scent.
delpher2008 – :
Being that I already own hypnotic poison, I decided to try Confetto (I’m a fan of the Profumum Roma house). I must say that it is about 85-90% similar to hypnotic poison. There are minor and very subtle differences: HP has a night-time, sensual and sexual texture to it along with a complex vanilla. Confetto is more almond based and covers you like a comfy blanket that stays with you for such a long time. To compare the longevity, Confetto lasts on me almost all day, at first its strong and has great projection, then maybe after the 5 mark hour, the scent bubble closes in just a bit more, but that bubble will stay with you for hours and people will smell you. HP (newer version) lasts approximately 3-4 hours then becomes a skin scent. I love both equally but if i had to pick one, it would be Confetto, only because of how long is lasts. If HP had better longevity and sillage, then HP would be my first choice.
Confetto: 8/10
HP: 7/10
Update:
So I boarded the 6 train (NYC), sat down and was playing Angry Birds—some guy next to me reading his book glanced up, looked around and immediately said ‘what are you wearing, what is the name of it’. I mentioned it was Confetto and where I bought it from (I typically dont like to tell people what I wear). He didn’t have an extra piece of paper so he found a blank space in his book and asked me to write down where he could get it from.
Totally unexpected, but I love it!
The funny thing is, I thought it became a skin scent because I became anosmic could not really smell it anymore, however it projects like a beast. I walked back into my office and before I fully walked through the door, someone immediately said that it smells like cake.
setoleg85 – :
I have been dying to try this and now I have!! So my verdict on how it compares with hypnotic poison….
Confetto is very similar. It is less sweeter by say 50% less vanilla. The scent is otherwise spot on. There is that root beer or anise like note still present but appears more so in confetto. Definitely has good lasting power and is stronger. Sillage is better but I prefer hypnotic as it’s more smoother to my nose (strange as I thought it would be less than confetto from what I’ve read).
kxkunit – :
Hypnotic Poison with way less spice and a million times more wearable. It has the same plasticky, almond note too which I happen to like, but less of the root beer fizz of HP. I really love this fragrance! Creamy, fluffy, delicious almond with just enough anise to keep it from being gooey. I feel like it’s the love child of delicate and simple Lea and the brash and heavy Hypnotic Poison.
Valerasha – :
This is just incredible. Yes the opening is reminiscent of Hypnotic Poison but it has something completely unique about it. Sweet almond and vanilla with a musky dry down. Get me a full bottle please.
ahlopkos – :
I gave this a fair chance since everyone seems to love it but it just doesn’t smell nice to me. All I get from start to finish is anise and a hint of almond which creates the same kind of playdough smell as in Hypontic Poison. No vanilla at all which is disappointing since vanilla is one of my favourite notes. The longevity is great and sillage moderate.
ykoven – :
Oh. Thought I didnt need it because I had Hypnotic Poison. Yah thanx u guys….not….And even from my memories of the original HP, this just blows it into the reeds. It is a female frag in my opinion and being an Old lady I’m very sensitive to the masculine image in fumes….so your mileage may vary.
It is not over sweet like the barf inducing modern Guerrlanns.
It is lifted upon spraying by a brilliantly judged anise. The white sucrose thing that overwhelms modern Gs is treated as a fleeting top note. There is gorgeous almond and a true vanilla. It feels more modern than the amazing Allessandro. Totally drool worthy, high quality. Yes, if you want a candy perfume, and yes, I do, this is IT. But it is the candy in a Michelin restaurant, not the petrol station.
Roll on Profumo, you rule…..:):):)

Delicious,robust vanilla, anise and almond concoction.
I love Italian perfumes,confident,loud and stunning.
Need a lighter hand when you apply, as it takes a little while to warm up on skin (leaves a oily residue sometimes) and then it’s BOOM! yes that’s me that smells so good in da room!!

black licorice, baby powder, and vanilla. it has a bit of the Necco Wafer tinge i get from Dolce Acqua.
zzzOzzz – :
Sweet, creamy and fudgelike…but allthough a perfume with a bit depth and sexiness…
My man loves it, and that is a extra bonus 😉
mara197986 – :
For me it is a perfume of the old school.
These fragrances it is since you are arranging strikes you, and there is no room for the rest of the olfactory treasures. I never fails, and although I am him terribly unfaithful the day that I feel should be the! and the effect is incredible, both in myself and in my environment. Those scents that you find unknown people inhaling puffs of it is…
Either you like it or hate it
PYK – :
This is what Hypnotic Poison should have been (even if I would like it to have a little more vanilla).
Habsweale – :
Too many female reviews to be considered unisex. Time to realize that there is a line so I’m selling mine because at the time I was blind by the smell of sweet divine so I tried to make the scent mine but would be much more comfortable smelling it on a girl around me somewhere in the vicinity.
honda1372 – :
I’ ve already reviewed the perfume below I just wanted to add that it was launched in 1996 not in 2006 ie. 2 years before HP Poison.
Енюша – :
Yesterday I was meeting three of my girlfriends and I wore 1 spray of Profumum Romas Dulcis in Fundo (on my chest) and 2 sprays of Confetto (on the back and front of my neck). The instant after they gave me a hug two of them said: Oh gosh, is that a new perfume? It smells divine!
That’s what I mean guys. This stuff just draws people in! And those are not the only comments I’ve received after I bought Confetto a short time ago.
Confetto is a compliment-getter for sure!
DENIS-KYPE – :
I’ve been searching high and low for Confetto, to be able to try it, and by pure coincidence I found it in a small niche perfumery right here where I live! I’m in heaven!
Firstly, I want to thank you @mary jane below, for giving this glorious review of Confetto, making me curious to hunt it down in the first place. THANK YOU! And because mary jane has done such a wonderful and thorough review here already, I just have to say that I agree with every word.
I already knew beforehand that Confetto was as good as made for me because of my love for Hypnotic Poison. And yes, they are related imo, but having said that: Confetto is SO much more than Hypnotic Poison. Better quality, more rounded, richer, cleaner – meaning pure almonds, sweet, magical almond heaven caressed by vanilla, musk and amber. I can’t tell there’s anise on my skin, but I’m sure it plays an important part in the composition.
On my skin it’s like sweet, luscious marzipan and it’s not even close to being sickening imo. It is down right gorgeous. I immediately knew I had to have it. I couldn’t have left the store without buying it even if I tried. I was spellbound!
If you already love Hypnotic Poison, imagine the heavenly dry down times a thousand. And to you who find HP sickening, go ahead and try this as I think this is easier to wear. This magic potion is worth every.single.penny and it lasts forever! The best longevity of a fragrance I have encountered so far (and I’ve tried many). It’s been hours since I first sprayed it, and it keeps getting better and better. Still going as strong as when I first applied it. It’s oil based, so it simply melts and morphs into the skin smelling stronger as it’s getting warmed by the blood running through your veins.
After I left the store I sat down on a bus (wearing confetto all over). There was a mother and a daughter sitting next to me. All of a sudden the daughter said to her mother: “somebody smell sooooo delicious in here” and I sat there with a big smile, all giggling inside, because I KNEW it was me!
Confetto, my new found love! I’m blessed that we finally met! And from now on you’ll be my little secret… I’ll never tell (people outside of Fragrantica that is) 😉
Klan1965 – :
Dior Poison without the Jasmine? Gimme!!!!
My head doesn’t do Jasmine, I’ve tried to ween it in a few times but no. Any Jasmine, even the smallest hint in any frag takes over and all I smell is Jasmine and boom: Headache.
This is almonds, my favourite healthy snack, they’re toasted slightly with a bit of sugar. Some of them are just fresh and there is also a bit of almond butter smell, the one mixed with vanilla pod. Simplicity at it’s finest and it smells healthy!!
. M-M.
SOOOOOO expensive though. I will have to wait a few months and pine for this fragrance a good while first.
Thank you Bloodlust 🙂 Your review encouraged me to try this!
I don’t own a car, nor do I know how car wax smells but maybe that would be a cheaper alternative, if so, then maybe it would be a good dupe to wear, LOL
😀
alex-2000 – :
I was dying to be a huge fan of this! But I remain un-impressed. I’m sure this scent is SOMEONE’s best gourmand, so definitely sample for yourself!
On my skin, Confetto is ALL almond, ALL the time. A sickly, rubbery, bittersweet almond. It’s literally one half of Hypnotic Poison; The bitter almond opening, without the thick, luscious jasmine, fruits and woods.
The exact scent of this fragrance is 100% identical to the solid wax that you use to shine your car. I am shocked at how accurate that comparison is – hopefully it’s only my chemistry!
TupattellaBot – :
I am a really big fan of this one. Usually when I get an expensive perfume to try I end up deciding only a decant would be fine enough, but I want a whole bottle of confetto! This is favorite material for me honestly, I am holding my breath because I am saving up for a new car.
I agree with the comparisons that have been made to hypnotic poison and the old formulation of BBW warm vanilla sugar a little bit. Although Confetto is still it’s own unique animal, too almondy to be BBW and not spicy enough to be HP.
If confetto could be an animal it would be a floppy stuffed animal! The fragrance is soft, smooth, cuddly, snuggly, warm, powdery, child like, and sweet! At first spray I also get that buttercream frosting sweetness, that fades into almonds, powdered anise, and a warm sweet vanilla glaze amber heart. There is something just a little bit clean about it too in it’s dry down, something that reminds just a tiny bit of tide detergent! Which I know is so strange but I detect it on an almost subliminal level.
Sweet, soothing, comforting, warm, snuggly, bliss!
andreyehfufy – :
When I got in this niche perfume house in Germany, this summer, my personal heaven on earth, I really had no idea where to start with so I asked the lady there to treat me with some gourmands! The first one she sprayed on me was CONFETTO and after this first spray all the other perfumes I tried for the next two hours I stayed there, came second best! CONFETTO had won my heart!
My first impression of it, without having any idea of the notes, was… delicious praline wafers.Consequently I asked if there was any cocoa or hazelnut in it. But no, my guessings were wrong, it was a bitter almond combined with anise that gave this ambery vanilla a twist and also prevented the smell from being sickly sweet. This perfume is like an almond veil that surrounds you for hours. And while it starts beautifully and intensely the development of the scent on the skin is even more heavenly, it becomes creamier and it also develops a powdery feeling.
Now, while I usually avoid to compare perfumes in my reviews and prefer to describe the scent on its own, I feel that I have to spend a part of this review to the association being made with Hypnotic Poison of Dior. Yes, its true, there is a similarity between them. BUT, this is such a better-made blend in terms of quality. I dont know where to start, the smooth,sleek texture of the juice, the creamy quality of the almond in it, the anise which gives a sparkle to this scent, the depth and warmth.. these are all aspects of Confetto that Hypnotic Poison fails to reveal.. at least that is my opinion, also let me add that I never really liked HP while I LOVE Confetto!
Longevity of Confetto: till the next day of apply. Magical sillage, everytime I wear it people around me comment on it!
So happy with this joyful purchase! Worth the money!
perevozcka-nn – :
I really wanted to like this after reading all the reviews. I for one am big on gourmand fragrances and the almond, vanilla and star anise notes sounded so intriguing. Unfortunately the reality was far less appealing and just reminded me of bug spray.
anterbatt – :
Milky almond and anise layered with a soft, playful vanilla and musk. Sweet without being garish or immature.
This is like a pearly, satin-clad signorina. Charming, fun-loving and sophisticated. I can see this being worn by a bride to her wedding just as much as on a younger girl.
Lovely.
embobeler – :
Adorable! I love it:-) Can’t stop sniffing the inside of my arm where I sprayed a test from the perfume shop some hours ago!… Nr 1 on my got-to-have-list!
I bought it. Cannot ware any other perfumes now!…they are to light, alcoholic and nondimensional in comperassion with Confetto wich I find rich, deep, oily in to the skin, warm and longlasting:-)
This must be how a real genuin perfume i supposed to be like!
belakov83 – :
gorgeous, just gorgoues, really has the feal of a real perfume, very high quality.
I did own and love but could not wear poison, there was just too much almond that it became annoying and dried down very masqueline.
I’ve also owned sinfonia di note, and yes they are somewhat similar. IT’s kind of in between both of these but still better than both.
Confetto is very strong, And I don’t mean just the almond… the almond is a softer than poison, but the overall scent itself, is stronger, super long lasting.. I do pick up a slight minty feel , maybe it’s the anise, not sure, but I’m very happy… this is a far more lovable more gorgeous, sexy, comforting scent than any of it’s ”likes”’
Another difference is that poison is much stronger in amber and it’s a cheaper amber. Confetto feels like it’s an equal balance of the perfect amber and musk
And as much as I love louve I also couldn’t wear because it fealt to me like more of an airfreshener or expensive home spray. This is similar minus the cherry and the overload of jasmine,plus a little something fuzzy
I swear it smells a bit of sandalwood, lovely
This actually reminds me of the vintage toujours moi. Only that it’s soft and sweet yet a superd deepness and strength. Super high quality
absolutely no complaints
oh and btw, even though this would seem a ”girly” type scent I think it would be fabulous on a man as wel….. would be interesting
I can tell by shakung the bottle that this is highly concentrated anyway I after spraying once on my neck and wow I could tell thenafter a little cloud floated around me thst this wad going to have great staying power. This wsd at 5 pm and by8 the following mornings I can still eadily smell it in myself,and unlike poisin the almond becomes softer ans slightly sugared. Thats a full 15 hours plus
stiks123 – :
On me opened with very strong amber, not too sweet, not gourmand.
Meirk985Bessinepome – :
Remarkable….Confetto opens with an incredibly pungent almond+vanilla (with a slight rubber note.) I am usually anti-gourmand and loathe fragrances that smell like food (or are too sweet) but this fragrance captured my attention. It is velvety smooth and super attractive/alluring. I applied one dab to my wrist from a tiny metal roll on decant and the scent bubble was impressive for such a minuscule amount applied. I’m curious to know how far a spray (applied) would project. This is somewhat sweet BUT not sticky or overdone. I will likely whiff this samples daily until I get a full bottle. Although it may not be versatile and easily worn in the hot and humid weather, I am impressed and will add this to my collection. Nothing I know of smells like this…my recommendation is to purchase a sample from Luckyscent before you buy the full bottle. The .7 ml sample would be enough for 2 or maybe 3 wearings. A few swipes on the pulse points would be suffice.
bupuzik – :
Absolutely beautiful! Soft but at the same time powerful in a subdued way. Love the longevity of the almond and vanilla without feeling that I’m wearing desert. Lasts a very long time and is well worth the $$ since the bottles are 100ml. My favourite!
dutdagStook – :
The most interesting fragrance in the Profumum line, very easy to like, and it is quite potent as well. The fragrance is like a sweet violet pie with lot of powdery notes, that is neither loud neither soft, exactly what you need!
vladimir.kndr – :
I just want to say that if you visit the Profumum website you will learn that this scent was already launched in 1996. So it really came before Hypnotic Poison 😉
And I think this one is so much better!
It smells like almond vanilla pudding, very nice and comforting. And a little will go a very long way…
Impumsype – :
Honestly, I dont find Confetto similar to HP. Confetto is such a wonderful liquorice almond in a bed of soft spices which I find a little bit herbal sweet through the minty vanilla in the background. The longevity is just amazing. One of the best perfumes I have ever tried. Definitely a masterpiece and worth the expense..
Edit: I have never ever smelled a perfume as long lasting as this one. Now its more than 1 month since I have sprayed Confetto on a paper and its still smelling like crazy in my handbag 🙂 yummy
iplavans59 – :
No comparisons~just a straight review. Sweet almonds, laced with anise as first applied. It’s alllllll about the almonds, and I love that! They play with every single ingrediant but always stay the focus. It starts off rich and oriental feeling but as it dries down it becomes more candied and softer. The musk really takes the edges off and creates an extrememly rich skin scent. The amber is very well behaved and adds a grown up depth without ever overtaking the whole composition. Amber can so often do that. This is perfectly balanced and a fall/winter dream. There is quite a difference in spraying and dabbing with this perfume. Turns out~I much prefer the spray. Surprisingly it wears lighter. If you want that rich oriental goodness to last and last definately dab on pulse points.The anise will stay prominant for hours. Confetto’s longevity is stellar! She’s very loyal and will stay with you for day into night. I love this perfume~and so does my husband!
BageToy – :
Profumum Roma CONFETTO wafts unmistakably of Dior HYPNOTIC POISON. This does not mean that anyone attempted consciously to imitate it–and then charge more for the perfume? No, it means that when one mixes almond, vanilla, amber, and musk with some oriental spice, a similar effect is achieved–and it’s a beautiful one indeed. Sweet comfort scents are always a good thing–above all, in wintertime. (-;
In a side-by-side comparison of these two creations, I find that CONFETTO, while sharing a touch of the Playdoh facet of HYPNOTIC POISON, lacks the somewhat overwhelming root beer quality. This perfume is less sweet and more woody to my nose, particularly in the drydown. While the Playdoh and root beer of HYPNOTIC POISON persist and even grow louder over time, the take-away of CONFETTO is less insistent and more subtle. I prefer this composition, which also bears similarities to Keiko Mecheri DATURA BLANCHE. I would place CONFETTO about half-way between HYPNOTIC POISON and DATURA BLANCHE, the latter of which pretty much lacks both root beer and Playdoh.
I would not, however, go so far as to characterize CONFETTO as a unisex scent. It still seems too sweet for very many guys to be willing to wear.

I’d rather say that COnfetto tried to reach HP Dior but didn’t reached even half of it! btw Confetto is posterior HP which was lounched in 1998 … this one from Pro fumun ROma is indeed quite nice, clean jasmine and some almonds, but it’s like taking HP after a few hours, when al the bitter-almond notes are over; it’s like a more demure and “bourgeoise” version of HP, and I don’t see the point? All the sensual, bitter-sweet,warm
