   C’est un parfum complexe, presque paradoxal. De prime abord, la senteur, délicatement florale (sans doute le jasmin dont nous parle Dominique), très subtilement fruitée (les baies de cassis et l’osmanthus probablement), évoque une variété exotique d’agrume (empruntant des accents de clémentine, de petit-grain). Mais très vite, l’hespéridé s’efface, laissant apparaître une note plus mâle, plus sauvage, presque animale, due je pense à la présence de la vanille qui s’impose de manière extrêmement suave en note de fond.

   Fruits seen by a floral spectrum
   Fruitti paradisi surprised me while wearing it on skin because i looked at the notes and they don’t match at all with my impressions! On me it’s more floral than fruity, or maybe more on the fruitty espectrum of florals. I thought it had frangipani and ylang-ylang, because the opening has that banana riped aroma of ylang ylang and what comes next has that fruity touch of frangipani flowers. And then, the most intriguing thing is a distant but still clear animalic aspect, something that makes me think of fish maybe, of fish’s oil. It gives it a slightly naughty aura for me. After that it becomes a skin scent on me, with an aroma that makes me think of vanilla’s pods after you remove the seeds. I know it has very high quality floral, there is something round, smooth on it that synthetic florals cannot fully reproduce. Then only thing that i just wished was the vanilla pods impression more strong at the base. Very good one!
   Pros: Rich floral-fruity aroma
   Cons: It could be more strong at the base”

   Frutti Paradisi strikes me by soon for its weird “roasted” liquorous (vaguely hesperidic) vanillic side absolutely warm, lacteous and surprisingly smokey. This “toasted” creamy platform is the olfactory “basement” over which keep faring several floral and fruity notes highly enriching the mixture. The lacteous platform, beyond its animalic smokiness (which is not an ashtray “steamy smoke” but a sort of pipe tobacco flavour) performs a sort of fruity banana undertone which seems creamy as a sort of exotic milkshake. The floral patterns swirl over this exotic base also them seeming sort of exotic undiscerned floral spicy luxuriant elements from tropical paradises of the far oceanic highlands (frankly I can’t discern neither jasmine not osmanthus in particular). The aroma is sensual and warm, almost yummy, sultry and exotic for sure. I suppose seasoned woods provide the pipe tobacco vibe while the blackcurrant enhances creamy fruitiness and velvet. May be hints of tobacco and animalic elements (honey, castoreum) are included in the recipe and I wonder if not listed tropical fruits as mango, pineapple or papaya take part to ceremony. On the right female skin Frutti Paradisi could really play an hellish irresistible erotic game. Another highly recommended genuine bewitchment from the wizard Mr. Dominique Dubrana.

   Frutti Paradisi starts with a juicy, sugary, pulpy apricot note- osmanthus!- tinged with a leather nuance (the opening of this fragrance reminds me of Cuir Ottoman), slightly smoky, astringent and gently rough to the nostrils. The fruity theme enriches in lactonic notes- I guess some white flowers are here to reinforce osmanthus- leaning towards ripe peaches and maybe mango. Some oily notes make an appearance at a certain point, slightly disturbing, and I can’t say if it’s a facet of some ingredient or it’s an off note due to some spoiling of the sample. At any rate, this is the only jarring thing I perceive in the whole fragrance, and it doesn’t last (too) long. The drydown is a suave, smooth, sugary resinous vanilla, still drenched in fruit juices and smoke.
   On the whole, FP has a lot to say in some fields of perfumery: it’s a fruity fragrance light years away from the mainstream themes and definitely unisex, and it’s, in my opinion, the best rendition of osmanthus in a fragrance.

   Wow. Unique.

   Describing it’s persona: Tropical, warm, humid and quiet mysterious.

   I imagine this on a beautiful, incredibly sexy, with hot and tanned smooth skin, peruvian girl or woman.

   Got this as a free sample on my last order from Dubrana (he has a free sample policy and always adds something to your parcel when you order).

   What he doesn’t mention about this perfume on his website is the smoke aspect of it. This is tropical fruit’ish: mangoish, bananaish et al – created by blending flowers and vanilla – smoke and something I coulden’t really understand – But after reading on his site I think it’s the blackcurrant giving some sort of ‘petrol’ or oil vibe. The ‘petrol’ part is hard to describe: it’s oily, it’s a bit futuristic.. Perhaps, apolcatyptic.

   Close to skin, decent logevity.

   A very unique scent,

   You will not regret trying this one,

   Spray wisely.
