Marcadam (2003)
by Il Profumo

Starts off strong but settles down into a very demure sensual scent that won´t offend anyone. It´s beautiful but it could have been louder for me. I was reminded of an icecream with caramel and nuts, that warmth of the caramel and nuts combined with the creamy vanilla icecream. I didn´t notice a lot of floral action though but I seem to bring out warm notes much better than floral ones ( that´s why they need to be loud and very present otherwise the base notes just take over on me). The opening is interesting, the middle is tasty and the drydown is a bore.

Notes from Luckyscent website: Jasmine, Peony, Pitaya, White Rose, Amber, Myrrh, Patchouli & Sandalwood.

Though not listed, the opening of Marcadam comes off as a blast of licorice! I adore anise/licorice notes in my fragrance and this one not only suprises, but satisfies! My only complaint is the topnotes fade much too quickly. After that attention getter, the flowers burst forth in a creamy bouquet, drying down to an ambery sandalwood base. This fragrance ends up on my skin almost exactly like Casmir by Chopard. Rich, cozy & classy.
