8:45 – Cardamon and soapy, powdery violets.
Much more lovely, light, and femme than I was expecting.
9:45 – Sandalwood sneaking in.
3 – Longevity is surprisingly good considered how light and not-headache inducing this is. I’ve been catching wafts all day.
I’m going to rate this like I love it, but I don’t. I think it’s a five-star perfume for someone, just not me. Still a solid four-star if the perfume was all I was counting, but the cost knocks it down.
This was my last sample for Note di Profumum. Some mixed feelings because the quality was consistently very, very good, and there are two that I LOVED, and there were also two that I liked a lot, but the price point means I get one bottle and only one. I’m going to feel a bit shoddy about spending that much, too.
Normally I scoff when people moan about prices. Not that I can afford a lot of niche brands, but I don’t usually feel like the perfumers should care about that. Artists, in general, should price according to what they feel their work is worth.
This is my exception to the rule. If there was either a 50ml option for half the price or the 100ml was about $50 less, I would be all over this brand. Maybe if the bottle was more attractive?
Another day – the more I wear this, the more I’m into it.

Luce Dell’est is my fourth try from the Note di Profumum line, and it’s quite agreeable, a mix of cardamom, sandalwood, violet, and cedar.
The mix of violet and woods fosters a vetiver-like experience, and the blend strangely reminds me of Roja Vetiver Extrait even though vetiver is not a listed note. For me, this is an indication that the violet is used in appropriate proportion to other notes, as it’s not too faint to contribute but not too significant to be an overtly piercing violet that I often find off-putting.
On the whole, it’s a woody, slightly earthy, slightly green blend that’s unisex and never really that sharp or bassy to push one away from it. Is very agreeable, so an easy one for me to like but admittedly not one I love. Performance is very good as far as longevity, seemingly the case with all Profumum fragrances, but is not particularly loud after the first half hour or so. Very nice for year-round wearing though I’d probably use it more in the spring and summer if I owned a bottle.
