Conaffetto
Eau de Parfum
by Hilde Soliani



The Scoop
A delightful, romantic filigree of almonds, sugar and soaringly lovely orange blossom. Created for a dear friend’s wedding, Soliani was inspired by “confetti” – the sugar coated almond candies served at weddings in Italy – and around the world. You may know them better as Jordan almonds. This is not an easy, melt-in-your-mouth sort of candy. The sugarcoating is to convey the wish that the newlyweds’ life be more sweet than bitter and the beauty of these candies is that the almonds really do have a sharp bitterness that contrasts with the powdery sweetness. That beguiling contradiction is captured perfectly in this scent and leads into an absolutely gorgeous profusion of fresh orange blossoms, as if you were walking under a wedding bower. Conafetto features an absolutely radiant version of fleur d’oranger – a touch of honey, a touch of citrus and a bounty of ethereal white flowers. We can’t imagine a more perfect scent for a wedding – but you don’t need to be a bride to love this. Any time you want to dab on a dose of sheer joy, this would be appropriate.

This to me is what I expected from Alessandro (which ended up too powdery for me) and I get the association below to Farmacia CARA but with more lasting power and scent trail. (still love Farmacia CARA). This has that sweetness that floats in the air in Spring when sweet blossoms open and you walk around wondering what it is that smells so wonderful. Along with that I get the almond and the sugar. The orange blossoms are not sharp - I believe them to be the honey-sweet that I sense after this has set for about 5 minutes on the skin. Perfectly blended, once settled from the initial blast. One application behind my neck and on my chest gently wafts about treating me to its gentle caress. It is a perfume that smiles. I read that her perfumes are scent memories. Scents that trigger past warm fuzzies. I get that - when I experience this scent it feels familiar but different. Comfortable and very cozy and sexy at the same time. Though I do appreciate Alessandro and would not be upset to receive it as a gift - and I LOVE Farmacia Cara and wear that often. This has wiggled its way up to one of my top favorites in this scent category. A scent for grown ups that feels young. LOVE it! Oh, yes, expensive - but if 2 spritzes can last that long - very worth it and I know I will start saving now for another spare bottle. Hope she makes it forever! *I find I am drawn to many of her scents - at least all that I have sampled so far.

They are not saying conaffetto means confetti here. They are liking the scent to it. Some of these readers need to be more intelligent in their responses. The scent is to die for.

Conaffetto doesn't mean "confetti" in Italian. Con Affetto means "with tenderness and feeling" in Italian and is often used as a direction in music. The scent is pretty and tender. Nice sweet creamy orange.

Conaffetto is the perfect blend of orange blossom and almond. I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy those two notes together, but combined they remind me of sweet pollen from some sort of beautiful flower. I've tried and owned many almond fragrances, and I don't find this one to be very similar to any of them. It's also not nearly as candy-like as I was expecting. Lovely!

Upon application, this perfume smells very nutty on me, but not almond some other kind of nut. Almost too much so. It also kind of has an astray reminiscent smell mixed with some sharp note, which is very odd. But after about 5-10 mins that unpleasant odor goes away and what shows up is a very grown up and simple scent of bitter almond laced with just a touch of sweetness. On me though, it's mainly almond with not so much sweet, which I like very much. It doesn't go gourmand, no cookie or play-doh smells here. I feel that this perfume is elegant and sophisticated in a simple way. It's not overdone. It reminds me a lot of CARA by Farmacia ss Annuziata but this perfume has better sillage and last much longer. If you like CARA try this one to compare. Overall I think it's a beautiful scent and am happy that I bought the sample. I still cannot decide if I prefer it over Amande Sucree though, even though the two scents are both based on almond, they are so very different and I have a bit of a love affair with Amande Sucree by Sinfonia di Note. Worth trying the sample.
