Conaffetto by Hilde Soliani Profumi

*****
Year: 2010

Notes: orange blossom, sugar, almond

Comment: Conaffetto is part of the Profumo e Gusto in Libertà Collection

Created for a close friend's wedding, and inspired by confetti (sugar coated almond sweets served at weddings, in Italy), Conaffetto opens with an odd sharpness before settling down to a smooth sugary almond purr.

The orange blossom imparts a honey-sweet floral temperament that incessantly interweaves throughout. When compared to Mazzolari's Alessandro, Conaffetto isn't noticeably bitter, powdery or vanillic, but more vibrant and inviting. With decent projection and very good staying power, it's a wonderfully composed almond interpretation that treads its own unique path.

It's clear that Hilde invested a considerable amount of love and care into this mesmerising creation.
