Year: unknown

Notes: orange, lemon balm, pink pepper, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, artemisia, geranium, neroli, peach blossom, cherry blossom, ylang-ylang, angelica root, oakmoss
The motley opening of Di Colori is noticeably sweet and powdery, with a tart fruitiness from the lemon balm and orange coupling.

As this stage subsides, a floral bouquet of peach blossoms, neroli and cherry blossoms take centre stage. The floral aspect is glaring, amorous and warm, fusing with the composition's array of spices. The butteriness of the ylang-ylang soon arrives, adding an extra dimension to an already established kaleidoscope of rich and striking accords. It's only when the geranium emerges that one senses any further change, prologuing a mild oakmoss-centric woody foundation.

Overall, it's quite unique, and successfully uses its well-mannered sweetness to entice first and foremost. Even though a distinct powderiness prevails, one would say it actually improves the whole experience. With olfactory associations of vibrant hues, such as orange, red, purple, pink, yellow and green, l'Ó Profumo has triumphed at creating a fragrance that truly smells "ripe and rich like an orchard of unforgettable colours".

Compared to other fruity and woody-florals on the market, it's highly noteworthy. With better projection, it would have been absolutely perfect but that shouldn't detract from what essentially is an impressive creation.
