Profumum Roma Vanitas EDP

Description

Vanitas is a grown-up vanilla, sweet and comforting but with a resinous shadow of myrrh. Profumum Roma opens it with orange blossom, then lets myrrh turn resinous and sweet as it blends into a creamy vanilla. Sandalwood adds a soft, milky depth underneath. Retailers describe it as soft, lovely and slightly powdery, like a delicate vanilla gelato with a drizzle of fruit, and several reviewers pick up a hint of cotton candy early on.

Scent Character

Translation: almost entirely sweet. The vanilla dominates from start to finish, with the orange blossom, myrrh and sandalwood adding texture rather than changing its direction.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Orange Blossom
• Heart: Vanilla, Myrrh
• Base: Sandalwood

Performance

Longevity: Good; reviewers praise how long it lasts.
Sillage: Moderate.
Projection: Arm's length at first, then it becomes a close vanilla skin scent.

An honest note: several wearers find it settles into a skin scent fairly quickly, even while it keeps going for hours. Expect longevity more than volume.
