Product Feature: Profumum Fragrances at LuckyScent.com

profumum.jpgWhat They Say: "We have been working long and hard to bring this line to Luckyscent, and to the United States, after falling in love with these extraordinary scents from Italy. Profumum comes to us from Rome, but its origins stretch further back to a small town called Sant Elena Sannita and a family with a long history of being artisans. When Celestino and Lucia Durante left Sant Elena for Rome after the Second World War, they took a pride of craftsmanship and history that they passed on to their offspring. They opened a tiny storefront, which over time grew into a chain of stores, featuring curios, hand-made soaps, fragrances and beauty products and this chain of shops was passed down to the grandchildren of Celestino and Luisa, who decided in 1996 to start a line of exclusive fragrances. These scents are exquisitely crafted to evoke emotions, memories and a sense of their beloved Italy. These rich and layered fragrances are designed to work equally well on men and women, and, amazingly, they really do. We are proud to introduce to you the wonderful scents of Profumum."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: This is an incredible collection of unique, inviting fragrances. You really have to go check out the descriptions of each to get an idea of the style of these fragrances. They last a long time and warm well on your skin, with rich, nature-inspired notes that will have people asking what you are wearing. They aren't "girly" or "flowery", but more like a sophisticated, warm interpretation of natural oils and scents. Some are unisex. I would say that if you are used to wearing essential oils or like the idea of something less "perfumey", these are definitely worth a test.

My favorites? Acqua e Zucchero - a warm musky-sweet honey (almost caramel), Fiori d'Ambra - an amber-based scent that warms to a subtle sweetness, and Patchouly, a unique mix of patchouli.

*These are NOT CHEAP, so I would highly recommend ordering samples from LuckyScent before you dish out for the full shebang.

Retail Price: $190 (exclusively at LuckyScent.com)

(Remember, DeLush does not give ratings to fragrances because each individual has unique preferences and body chemistry that affect their experience with scents. What we want to do is give you our best explanation of the fragrance from our experience and let you know about the staying power, etc. For more fragrance ideas, just go to the "Perfumes" category to see what else we've tried!)
