Profumi del Forte
ROMA IMPERIALE
This is a beautiful perfume, but I consider it to be a light one for daytime use. Mostly I get the scent of vanilla and orchid, with extremely subtle hints of oakmoss, orange, civet, and cinnamon.
It's charming, very refined, and classic in style. It's sure to please most anyone. (Jul 2012)

VERSILIA AURUM
If there is any fruit in this perfume, it is subtle and fleeting. I get no strawberry on my skin. In any case it is very gourmand and smells like caramel with candied almonds and just a little powdered sugar. Sometimes I catch a floral scent, just enough to make the perfume interesting and play against all the sweetness. Once it dries down it becomes a tasty vanilla caramel. Reminds me of Omnia Madeira. I am let down by the simplicity of the drydown of this perfume, yet I own Madeira and would prefer to own this because it is more complex than Madeira yet still has the creamy vanilla caramel drydown.

VITTORIA APUANA
"If you like piña colada..." you might like this perfume cuz it smells like one. Creamy banana and coconut. The banana was not a fresh or green one; instead it smelled like dehydrated banana chips. There is a touch of orange in the first few minutes too, so that gives the illusion of a little pineapple. It does have the overall aura of coconut tanning lotion and tropical getaways. In the drydown I get some synthetic amber that bothers me, but other than that, this is a great perfume. The emphasis here is on creamy. I did not get anything floral or fresh on my skin, a fact that I really enjoyed. Super-gourmand, just imagine the waiter handing that goblet to you, filled with that creamy, frothy, yellow-white drink. (Apr 2016)
