I love the bottle this comes in, but that's about it. On the drydown all I get is jasmine, not enough vanilla and certainly not any almond at all. The sales person at Nordstrom thought it smelled...

I want to like this. The SAs always push this on me when I tell them I like vanilla. But I just get root beer from this. Nothing against root beer; it's fizzy and refreshing. But I don't wish...

I love anice/licorice notes so I think this is quite pretty. Previous reviewers compare this to Hypnotic Poison (sexy) and Douce Amere (warm, cozy). Some compare it to root beer. I agree with these...

Holy Grail Almond scent by far! This is sweet -- slightly bitter almond at it's best!! Dries down to a lovely almond/vanilla candy that smells delicious. This has staying power too! Spritzed some...

Beautiful sweet, almondy rootbeer. More like a rootbeer float. Creamy and snuggly. Almost achingly sweet but I cannot bear to throw it out!

I love this. I smelled this right when it came out, about 3 years ago and I must say, I'm still enamored with it. It is unlike anything out there. Don't expect it to have the sillage of a eau de...

This reminds me of a watered down version of Escada Collection, but it lacks the richness, depth and strength. Although pretty, it is way too light and does not make an impression.

Want to drive guys crazy? This is the scent to do it! This scent is like no other out there. It is sweet, sexy, and rich all at once. The almond has a sophisticated scent. The initial spray and...

Two weeks ago I was in Nordstrom waiting for a friend and was walking around the perfume area. One of the salespeople asked if I had tried the Blu Mediterraneo line from Acqua di Parma, and I told...

I wish I got the almond. I get creamsicle. And yowza - rootbeer. I guess my nose has finally grown up, because this is all too sweet and foody for my tastes. Not a fascinating or complex fragrance,...

Oh dear! This was *far* too sweet for me to wear at any time! Too foody as well. Almond is one of those notes that always predominate on my skin and here it was a very heavy almond with vanilla...

A very evocative fragrance, but it evokes -- not Italian almond milk -- but an A&W rootbeer float, from the days when drive-ins were still in vogue. This is a very pleasant almond fragrance,...

I have been searching for an almond and how cool to find one with orange and vanilla - two of my favourite notes! This is slightly akin to Hypnotic Poison but less cloying, more interesting,...

This is one of the creamiest, relaxing, sniffable scent I have ever worn It envelops you in an aura of calm - but is quite sexy with it. To my nose it smells of ground almonds(marzipan), vanilla...

I would bathe in a tubful of this fragrance everyday if I could --- it's light and delicious and if I had to throw out every perfume I had and just keep one, this is the one I'd pick :D Honestly,...

First whiff is sweet but nice vanilla-almond accord. When it settle on my skin it becomes sickeningly sweet and cloying. No way.

I thought I had lost my interest in gourmand fragrances, but Acqua di Parma's Mandorlo di Sicilia lured me back into the "foody" fold. I had never even known about it before, because I was...

Now this is an exquisite fragrance. Yeah, it could be called sweet, but it is a soft sweetness that reminds me of Sicilian marzipan. There is something just a little exotic,sweet, and earthy about...
