The main problem with Antico Caruso is that there’s too much déjà vu about it. The opening notes reminded me of Douce Amere (or even Lolita Lempicka au Masculin), while the drydown kept on alternating between the aroma of Le Male and Body Kouros. Quite a lovely fragrance to wear but, based on its lack of uniqueness, I'll have to pass on this one.

Fairly linear. I get a citrus top and the rest smells like a nutty, creamy tonka bean/sandalwood.

Antico Caruso is quite heavy, rich, sweet and powdery and not at all a shy or subtle fragrance. It starts with a sharp, loud citrus-sugary intro, then the sweet notes (almond, a touch of vanilla) unfold, giving the whole composition a soft and cuddly character. The drydown is the best stage of development: sandalwood and a powdery accord create an elegant, classy aroma. Antico Caruso actually reminds of old barbershops due to the mixture of soap, talc and citrus cologne. It bears a certain resemblance to Prada Amber, but seems more refined to me. Maximum sillage and staying power - beware of overapplying. I like it, but it's a tad too sweet to really love it.
