I don’t like Womanity on myself, but I do enjoy sniffing it. But I’m afraid I don’t love either gourmands or cotton candy enough to actually buy it, especially as it’s not exactly cheap for the simple scent in question. Somehow, in my mind, a decant just doesn’t cut it, no matter what the size. I think its name is a reference to the Italian candy confetti, sugar-coated almonds that are served to signify good wishes at weddings and other festive occasions. I got rather caught up in the excitement. They are lovely gourmands, but quite simple for the very expensive price they charge. Confetto is quite a simple, uncomplicated fragrance, and very linear. Maybe just to my nose… . Having dabbled with some fragrance oils, with heliotrope and vanilla being amongst them, I can resolutely say that the mark-up on this one is way, way too high to warrant purchase. Guerlain’s Mitsuoko. So they work for me even tho’ I don’t like them and would MUCH rather FBs. So, yeah, 30 ml bottles of Profumum… FANTASTIC! For me, with my hoarding tendencies, even a 20 ml decant = something I won’t use because I’ll want to save it. If so, then I didn’t find Confetto to be honeyed at all, so the form of sweetness is different. 30 ml bottles of Profumum = temptation of the Devil. Capricious and gentle like a curl in the wind, But I’m going to see one day in a Questions post just how many others are like us on this decant-vs-bottle issue. Confetto smelled wonderful on a fragrance-lover friend of mine who used to wear it — lots of spun-sugar and creamy almond. You are consistently more generous about other people than I, lol! Not a logical course of action, I know. Things don’t go on my love/to buy list unless I’m either immediately smitten or I think of and reach for my sample repeatedly (a pretty good criteria since I have hundreds of samples around) and, like I said earlier, it sometimes takes months or years until I get around to buying any given perfume. So I’m afraid they’re an absolute godsend really. That would definitely be too, too much for me. A feminine fragrance full of life and an ode to joy. From what I just looked up, Alessandro seems to be powdery and with honey? Maybe they don’t know that Luckyscent offers samples of the line…, ‘No we prefer to baffle potential customs with overwrought sentences that on analysis make not sense!’. In short, if you love gourmands — and sugared almonds in specific — give Confetto a sniff. . On my skin, Confetto was actually lighter in weight and feel, so that probably contributes to my perception of the differences. It definitely had a touch of that for me. Two quick questions: have you been been wearing any favorite gourmand fragrances lately? – (Tho’ personally I must say I think 20ml sizes are ideal – but for a more reasonable price that is.). It will be way too sweet for you, James. So, I would certainly wear Confetto on occasion if a bottle fell into my lap. … I have a decant of Dulcis in Fundo, but to be honest i find it very linear to an expensive thing. . A feminine fragrance full of life and an ode to joy. I think the other element is that as much as I love perfume itself, I love the artistry and decadence of the bottles. And, yes, I liked it a lot!). This news is very disappointing, but thank you very much for finding it. An Italian masterpiece! As does a love for almonds. A few of the things that I’ve pointed out really amount to nit-picking because they are all subtle and/or minor. And yet, I can’t seem to pull the trigger. As for Play-Doh scents, a number of people enjoy them, too. And it happens here with Confetto, as well. "Immanent and transcendent!" That said, I was extremely interested to read one comment on MakeupAlley which said that Confetto was lighter and airier when sprayed, but richer and heavier when dabbed. Hmmmm…. DANG, another one I haven’t tried, Jour de Fete – didn’t they just rerelease that? I am trying to imagine a scent that is pure cotton candy, with no almonds and not even a whiff of anise. Log in to Reply. Whether Confetto’s vanilla takes on a plastic-y, “screechy” profile, its heliotrope turns into pure Play-Doh, its sugariness seems like cheap cotton candy, or its white musk feels too sharp is going to depend on the person in question, as well as the sorts of things that they like. It is very fruity, but not artificial, IMHO. But Womanity seems to work for me. In fact, as a general rule, aerosolisation usually makes a fragrance much stronger, but it should be clear by now that skin chemistry can do some crazy things and there is no one absolute answer when it comes to perfumery. A wonderful perfumista sent me a sample of Botrytis about a year ago and I loved it. From afar, Confetto smells primarily of “Jordan almonds” or Italian “confetti,” the hard-shelled, vanilla-coated almond candies often given at weddings. It's a dry gourmand blend, and more androgynous than I expected (which is fitting for an angel, I suppose). I’m a fan of Confetto. . It’s a very sugared scent, redolent of cotton candy and hyper-saturated carnival treats, but it’s actually less sweet than I had anticipated. I find it a great fragrance to cook in. Who has ever heard it?" Meanwhile, earlier this morning, I bought a 3 ml tiny bottle of vintage parfum — which is certainly smaller in size than most decants — but my mind seems to read it as “FULL BOTTLE! All It is quite sweet, but more in an almond custard sort of way than a cotton-candy one, which is exactly, but exactly, what I wanted. xo, Pingback: Profumum Antico Caruso Kafkaesque, Pingback: Profumum Roma Vanitas: Foghorn Vanilla - Kafkaesque. All rights reserved. Only for sniffing purposes I assume? Both woman and child. I think you’re right about the complexity and the nuances — if a gourmand feels/smells unique, like nothing else on the market, we’re more likely to pay a higher price. Haft den i många år och en klar favorit. It’s simpler, but very nicely done. If those people also love sugared almonds, then they should try Confetto. I think they should just get over their slightly precious Sample policy: We don’t have samples available because we like to take our clients “by the hand” and to lead them through an olfactory pathway that will reveal them the right scent for every single person.”. What the heck. As a side note, I know more men who wear Confetto than I do women, so it clearly has a unisex appeal. Who knew? Tagete Eau de Parfum. It also is a very easy, uncomplicated fragrance with versatility that can be worn to the office, as well as on casual occasions. Generations of children will be ignorant of the proper smell of Play-Doh, not that I am mourning overmuch.). When Celestino and Lucia Durante left Sant Elena for Rome after the Second World War, they took a pride of craftsmanship and history that they passed on to their offspring. In Confetto, we get the almond, and we get the sugar; it's all very mouth-watering and it qualifies as a "feminine" gourmand.
