This has been around for ages and is a holy grail candidate for almond lovers who want to avoid the rosy aspect of loukhoum perfumes - but you've got to love a bit of light honey. Alessandro starts...

Gentle, ultra feminine, powdery scent. A quality, well-balanced, non-cloying, non-chemical smelling, grown up version of Love's Baby Soft, if you will! :-) Both sexy and comforting at once, this...

I have to agree with KChild in regard to the beauty of this fragrance, AND that it is very distinct for a signature scent. Would love to have this, but would NOT pay the $175.00 price for it. It's...

Oh good grief! I think I'm doomed to need this fragrance. I have a sample that just gets better and better as I wear it. It becomes the most beautiful bitter almond, honey, vanille fragrance. The...

As far as almond comfort fragrances go, Alessandro is a great one. It's a slightly powdery, honeyed almond scent that manages to avoid smelling like almond extract or baby powder. If you found...

I really wanted to enjoy this one. This is not the case. It's a little Teint de Neige and a little Almond Cookie -- I LOVE both of those, but Mazzolari's Alessandro is just 'eh' for the high end...

Bitter almonds, powder and honey. It takes a few minutes for me to get the full effect of this one. The powder is sweet and the almonds are dry and a bit bitter. Love it. The honey seems a little...

Starts off with a sharp blast of nailpolish remover sans alcohol, and merges into a very powdery aldehyde. I didn't find it very pleasant until the drydown of straight vanilla, and it seemed very...
