You can do it, but you don't have to. Digression in now times seriously...

"We just do in perfume now.
Can not be so difficult.
Heartbreaking backstory, something about ancestors and vocation is always good, and pleasing fragrances.
Zack the coal flows.

"Um, but that is elaborate and expensive ? Development, advertising, design, production ??

"Oh what, we just lace good smelling oils together and sell them in bottles from Giuseppe's craft store. If it drips no matter, then we simply claim that is part of the concept. Back to the roots and so.
Per bottle well over two hundred euros and the stuff runs like hotcakes. People accept everything if the product is only absurdly expensive enough.

In advance: So or so similar I imagine in the meantime the foundation of Profumum Roma.

On the Dulcis in Fundo I came because I was obsessed with having a pure citrus-vanilla fragrance.

Obsessed I can yes good, and Profumum Roma I did not have in the collection.

There is nothing wrong with the fragrance.

Opening with bitter citrus note of the kind grapefruit which briefly turns into tangerine and then lemon. The whole then glides into a creamy vanilla while the citrus note is maintained.
The more I spray it, the better I like it. Nothing shockingly extraordinary but a stable fragrance that keeps what it promises.
An absolute feel-good fragrance.

The shelf life is okay, with me so 6 hours. The sillage is rather close to the skin, nothing for extroverted characters.

So far so good.

For this price, and let's not kid ourselves it's a lot of money, but I actually expect general value. Only an okayer but not groundbreaking fragrance is too little for me.

The bottle is cheap as cheap can only be, the spray head you may attach yourself and then he drips you the whole place full because the bottle is crooked.

Ergo: fragrance beautiful but overall experience more than disappointing. And that's part of it for me.

"And what do we do if any Querulant complains anyway ??

"Will no one, then he stands there as he would not understand the concept of simplicity. And who admits to have spent so much money on a disappointment.

So I oute me now times as someone who does not understand the concept, is actually disappointed, enjoy my dripping Dulcis in Fundo and say goodbye to Profumum Roma.

What a fragrance. When I met him a few days ago, it was love at first sight.
Actually, I went to the perfumery, um
i've read some wonderful things about you and need to try you out" list to sniff out. You all know it.
I brought time with me, because I was looking forward to at least an hour full of scents and dreams, out of everyday life. Outside rain and wind, the hectic big city and then briefly dive into the noblest perfumery of the city. There calm, a large scented candle of Dyptique vanilla burns and a friendly and noble lady takes the umbrella off me. I deliberately say lady, since I definitely prefer more mature saleswomen in the beauty sector.
"May I get you an espresso," which asks her, "what can I do for you?" Not that you think I dressed nobly or performed in a business look. No, jeans and soft shell jacket, cougar sneakers.
I'll have an espresso. It tastes wonderful.
And then I show her my test list.
"But they have set themselves a lot of goals, I suggest 3, a nose can't do more".
So I'm thinking about which three of the list get priority.
Whether it was the candle or the weather and the cosy warmth there or the espresso, but at the moment it's clear to me that I want vanilla.
In the price segments of this perfumery there are no sweet sticky vanilla fragrances. Nevertheless, I mention that vanilla must be special and not too sweet. But it should also be somehow lively.
Soothing, like wellness and sauna.
When it smells so soft and wonderful.
I don't care about my list now. I want vanilla.
She smiles, pulls out dulcis in fundo, sprays it on a white feather and waves it around.
It happened to me. Right away.
No, I don't smell cake or cookies or tart or pudding.
It does not smell gourmandig at all for me (I am probably the only one here). It smells of orange, mandarin and vanilla but in the same way as many an infusion in the sauna. The dominant orange at the beginning says goodbye quite quickly and there remains such a beautiful touch of her back now overlaid by one of the best vanilla I have ever smelt.

Now you might wonder if you like the smell of sauna?
Yeah, I like that!
For me it associates well-being and relaxation. Warmth.
This perfume relaxes, wraps you in a cuddly fragrant towel, which you can still find at
I found a spout in the sauna.
I like this scent very much.
I bought a little bottle. Handbag size for a lot of money.
The nice lady sprayed me to the
I had to finish it all over again and so neither the rain nor the wind outside nor anything bothered me.
I was warm and comfortably wrapped up.
Even though my visit there was much too short and my list still has to wait, but after this love at first sight, it would have seemed like a betrayal to me to test more fragrances.
There's time.
By the way, without knowing where it came from,
my sweetheart asked me in the evening when we would go to the sauna again.
I knew why he asked that ...

2 desserts in one

First you can notice a nice intense fruity-sweet note, when you actually think you have a little bowl full of mandarins in front of you, which are already releasing some of their juice.

The tangerine is accompanied by another fruity sweetness that harmonizes wonderfully with the tangerine and is due to the orange.

These two notes are enveloped in a very fine and subtle citric hint that ensures that the tangerine - orange dessert appears pleasantly fresh and even cooling.

Already at the beginning a "hunch" is to be noticed, which in the further process the language verschlägt.

1.5 hours later the "hunch" unfolded completely.

An incredibly warm, creamy, sweet vanilla has now revealed itself and since there were still a few small pieces of orange left, they were of course used for a 2nd dessert.

Yes, you have read correctly, today there are 2 desserts :-)

A loose, lightly browned ladyfingers sponge cake - ground, which was refined with a fine touch of almond aroma just came out of the oven.

On this soil the warm, creamy vanilla has been distributed in a beautiful fat layer.

In this layer hide the small remaining pieces of orange, which let the scent now become a wonderful smelling cheese cake.

At the top, right in the middle of the cheesecake, the last 3 orange pieces were draped as decoration in the finest precision on it.

In the last 3 hours the fragrance finishes with a very pure, creamy, sweet, cuddly vanilla.

This is for me Dulcis in Fundo.

In total, the fragrance lasts 11.5 hours on my skin.

In the first 3 hours, the Sillage is designed in such a way that one is clearly perceived at the 1.5 meters and then swings for 2 hours to a very clearly perceptible whole arm length, before it is reduced to the end of the fragrance in minimal steps.

Way down in the musty cellar, behind the heavy door....

Immediately after spraying on you are in the damp basement of an old villa. Herb-modrige tangerine me herbaceous impact radiates from the wrist, vintage DNA makes the smell of an old, formerly magnificent villa perfect.
So I stay (thank God imaginary) about 10 minutes in the musty basement and wonder why this perfume is so hyped.
Then slowly and tentatively comes a hunch that there might be a vanilla at the end of the aisle of this cellar. She sparkles discreetly out of the herbaceous, pungent-smelling darkness and lures me close to her.
Closer and closer I get to her over the following minutes.
And all at once, that door opens to reveal a glorious, sparkling, warm amber room. Opulently fruity-sweet, even slightly powdery vanilla causes an association with soft, rich golden amber. I turn in the room and more and more beautiful, powerful and saturated this amber vanilla affects me. Where there was musty tangerine in the cellars described at the beginning, now there are freshly peeled tangerines with shaved lemon zest and the juice of ripe oranges mingles with the vanilla to form soft, deep, viscous syrup. Oh from this sparkling, warm, impressive amber room I don't even want to leave.
I don't have to, because this perfume continues to radiate this beguiling, opulent scent from my wrist into the evening hours. Again and again it pulls me into the Amber Room.
In the evening then in bed, after 10 hours on my wrist, is now such a soft vanilla perceived, as with hardly any other perfume. Still so full-bodied and soft, so beguiling and tempting accompanies me the vanilla to sleep, although now without the fresh lemons, but still with warm orange and I dream this night actually of an amber room ...

Ambivalent scent impression ever!

At the beginning it smells very intensely of mandarins, almost like a concentrate. But this impression lasts only a few minutes, then an incredible full, warm, soft vanilla is added. So far, so nice...

And here it comes! At first I didn't even think about the scent... Suddenly I smell mould in my nose! After a short helplessness whether the cause I sniff at my wrist and actually!

If a perfume can get moldy, that's my next thought! So log in to Parfumo and see if others have noticed it too. In fact, between all the hymns of praise, there are a few quiet critical tones.

For a moment I think washing up and checking it off is the only solution, but something inside me does not want to separate. So I think I'll stay brave and give him a chance.

And what can I say, I haven't regretted it. The scent has something that keeps me hanging on my wrist. Yeah, it smells musty, but so what, I like it anyway! :-)

So how do I rate this fragrance now? Right at the beginning of my trip here, I came up with an evaluation system. So e.g. 10 means for me "I absolutely want to have", 8 "I would wear it if I got it as a present" and 5 "Something disturbs".

And "Dulcis in Fundo"? He's a 10 if he wasn't also a 5 somehow... I have no choice but to give him a 7.5. But I'm not satisfied with that.

I put him on my wish list anyway, which would actually be at least a 9, because he fascinates me and keeps me busy and is still there the next morning and fascinates me!
