I was browsing through the Bruno Acampora site and I found they're released now as EDP's. I've been holding back on purchasing all of these scents because they were oils. However I can't order because it's in Italian

Anyone know if Luckyscent will get these? And why First-in-Fragrance removed them from their inventory?

Oh, I have and they are all quite good. My favorites are Blu which is an amazing, buttery, smooth tuberose; Jazmin which is a dry, indolic jasmine; Iranzol is a strange dry scent that is similar in many ways to the L'air du Desert Marocain; Musc is a beautiful musk which shifts between dirty and clean; Sballo is a camphoerus ambery patchouli with an odd floral background.

The others are Prima T which is a lovely floral and smells the most natural and Seplasia which is the best soap you'll ever smell.

All of these oils are super concentrated and give a lot of sillage but I just prefer an EDP to an oil.

I agree it would be interesting to sample how these 'vintage' (they were supposed to be aged in these containers for years and years?!) oils were interpreted in a new EdP concentration. Jasmin and Sballo are the oils I have samples of. Both were interesting, but the Jasmin smelled rather turned IMO. I am picky with my florals. I think I am meanwhile able to detect fairly accurately turned jasmine in vintage perfumes (Vol de Nuit is THE candidate for this).

Collection Privee collaborated with Bruno Acampora to create Nero, which makes it extremely interesting, but alas I haven't tried it I have a feeling you'll love the line!

I think they would dilute the oil (which apparently do contain some synthetics) with alcohol to make the EDP. I read on a blog that when you purchase an oil from BA, there are instructions on how to turn it into an EDP! So it's odd they would come up with this now. Roja Dove told me once that Vol de Nuit is extremely sensitive and doesn't age gracefully at all, and Shalimar just gets better with age!

I am wondering if anyone has tried the EDP too? I've sampled the oil and adore it (in Musc) and need to get a full bottle... I prefer an EDP but if it means the scent will be slightly different than the oil, I may just stick with that! hulp!

I bought the set of all of their fragrances when they launched at Henri Bendel's .....gee, a couple of years ago. My sister wanted Blu and I wanted all the rest, especially Jasmine T and Sballo. I think these and the Musc are the only ones I've opened. I find them absolutely intriguing and often wear them to sleep in.

The sample Sballo body cream I received with my purchase is wonderful.

They don't offer "Jasmine T" anymore, just "Jasmine".

I've tried them. The compositions are so unique! I think they smell very similar to the old oils, but in much more convenient form. The bottles are pretty cool, shiny aluminum deals. Great line. Blu is a superb tuberose. The rest are more challenging. For anyone who's a fan of their oils I'd imagine the EdPs would be a no-brainer.

I just received a sample of the Nero extrait with my LuckyScent order today. I look forward to trying it out and then maybe the edps if it shows promise for the house...

Wow. I am enjoying the samples of this line. Favorites are in order: (1) Nero, (2) Iranzol and (3) Musc are all very special fragrances, natural and extraordinary. Only problem I've seen so far is that no matter whether I try the oil or parfum spray they don't seem to last very long. On test blotters they fade faster than almost anything else. This is a problem with some of the more natural fragrances I think. But they smell so fantastic that I may have to pull the trigger on one. The way I smell these:

Nero: mysteries from the depths of the forest, a masculine secret agent fragrance.
Iranzol: healing blend of herbs - similar to Aesop's Mystra, but even more mysterious.
Musc: berries and a cleansing light ozone musc, a magic potion.

I love the MUSC & IRANZOL too, and have yet to try NERO.
I have been wearing both for 15+ years, and have even travelled to Napoli Italy twice to
Bruno Acampora's Salon on Via Filangeri.

I highly recommend the Oils, and will thry the EDP soon!
