Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero was created in 2002 and lands in the Floral Fruity fragrance group. It is a vanilla, forest or red fruits, orange blossom fragrance. Thsi is a fragrance for both men and women and there isn't much else written about even from the manufacture so we will let the explorers speak about it in the reveiws. These are current and fairly reviews as they still speak about it.
From the creator - "The darkness of the room hides the shapes but its perfume melts me, feeling like I’m immersed in a basin of honey."
Reviews of Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero
Fragrantica - "Wow this is a masterpiece! If you don’t really sit with this and appreciate the journey you won’t get this beauty! It is definitely not simple and each phase is so beautiful! It even gets better with time. I’ve had mine over a year now and it is so well blended and creamy. The orange blossom and vanilla really smell very unique in this and I have 450 bottle of perfume and many orange blossom fragrances. You can tell the ingredients in here are top quality and it lasts well over 8 hours and many of my perfumes only last 3-4 on me… so the longevity is great."
Fragrantica - "Those saying ‘just go get pink sugar!’ Clearly aren’t spending time with this one. Yes it’s a similar smell but it’s on a different level than the cheapies people compare it to. They behave totally
Different. Those last 30 minutes, this
Thing lasts 8+ hours on skin and longer on clothing. If you want quality, treat yourself!"
Fragrantica - "So, I was REALLY looking forward to trying four, generous decant samples of Profumum Roma fragrances, Acqua e Zucchero was one of the fragrances among the four samples I purchased.
This fragrance, along with Dulcis in Fundo was initially an extreme disappointment. I cannot overstate my initial upset today when I applied this fragrance and gave it a wear. My generous samples were NOT inexpensive. And truthfully, I didn't really find a great "match" for the fragrance I am seeking with this house...
And NOW, I must admit...after initially feeling beyond neutral about this fragrance, Acqua e Zucchero has GROWN on me! It really has! And I love it!
Acqua e Zucchero wears a LOT like many of the similar fragrances on the niche market these days (and even some mainstream fragrances) that are fruity, raspberry, cotton candy, vanilla and tooth-achingly sweet. AeZ DOES wear a bit like the $18.99 Aquolina Pink Sugar, or Prada Candy, I suppose. But the highest quality of ingredients in Acqua e Zucchero and the way these ingredients perform together really make AeZ stand alone in its own lane.
The opening is definitely super-sugary, pink, cotton-candy, bubble-gummy sweet. As it develops, the dry down is smoother, more subtle with remnants of deep, creamy, vanilla and something a bit sour (resinous), which is reminiscent of orange blossom flower (the stems and leaves more than the petals themselves). Then the dry down presents lots of mixed fruit (I detect raspberries, perhaps pears) and lots of sugary, sweet vanilla.
I'll keep wearing it and see how I feel about the fragrance over time.
EDITED TO ADD: After applying this several nights at bedtime and being lulled to sleep by the wonderful fragrance (as I snuggle into my arm), I am PLEASANTLY surprised to wake some 8+ hours later and still easily detect this fragrance on my skin.
Purchased a full bottle 100ml. This stuff is glorious, it really is!"
Fragrantica - "This is my go-to scent for spring and summer! It's so fresh and sweet, with a lovely hint of vanilla. It lasts forever too, which is a huge bonus."
Fragrantica - "Sweet but very wearable in a toned-down fizzy sherbet kinda way.
I had to find a budget pharmacy to finally smell Pink Sugar to compare and I found Pink Sugar to be a vulgar burnt sugar kinda nasty scent. Acqua E Zucchero is smooth, seamless and like a veil of long-lasting gentle sweetness from tart mixed fruits covered in generous spoonfuls of white granulated sugar.
This is white meringue with mixed berries. After the first hour this smooths out even more into a linear and minimalist but delicious ambery sugar scent. It’s actually very wearable.
Longevity on Acqua E Zucchero is actually very good and worth getting just for the high-quality of its long-wear. Eton Mess in a bottle."
