Volo AZ 686
Eau de Parfum
by Profumum



The Scoop
If we told you that the primary notes of this scent are gardenia, vanilla and coconut, you would probably imagine it to be a suntan lotion, pina colada-esque sort of scent -- but you would be mistaken. There is something going on here that is sharp, cool and almost mentholated. We don’t know what it is and we don’t even have a guess– but we are mysteriously compelled to keep sniffing to figure it out. The gardenia is green, the vanilla is dry, the coconut is subtle, and the first impression is bracing, rather than tropical or lush. Give Volo AZ 686 a good 1-2 hours to fully open up, and you'll discover quite a transformation— as it dries down, Volo AZ 686 mellows into an understated sweetness that remains intriguingly difficult to decipher. Named for the flight from Rome to Caracas, this is not your everyday tropical scent and we highly recommend sampling it first. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it, find its unique juxtaposition of bitter and sweet strangely addicting. One of the few gardenia scents we truly consider unisex.

I'm a little surprised by so many negative comments. Volo is typical Profumum...rich & fragrant without being cloying like some Luetens. As always, too damned expensive!

Gardenia without being heady, sweet or voluptuous. A dry scent with a bit of bitter orange undertone, to my nose. This scent has a sense of place and cultural conversation beyond how it presents itself olfactorily. Now I'm wondering what Caracas smells like...when you get off the plane. Definitely a scent to be worn by one's self, for one's self. Good scent company while on a long drive.

LuckyScent's discription is spot on. That first blast is jarring. Bathroom air freshener at a gas station. I thought it had to be the worst Profumum ever. But profumums are complex, and this is probably one of the most complex. It soon begins to smell like gardenias and suntan oil. If you have ever smelled this oil from Tahiti, I think its called Mono Tiare, this is it. Interesting, but not for me.

A very odd fragrance, not sure what they had in mind when they created this, but airport bathrooms come to mind. The drydown is pleasant but the first 30 minutes could be too off-putting to wait for it.

This is one strange fragrance. I finally realized what it smells like. It reminds me of industrial bathroom cleaner. Like what a bathroom in an airport smells like. Or the bathroom on a plane. It has that strange mentholated note found in cleaning supplies. Maybe that's why it was named after a flight. It reminded them of the airport restroom.

Wow...i agree with Jennie, what a wild fragrance. Truly scary on first sniff, but I grit my teeth and applied to my wrist. Just a tad as I had much trepidation. As it dries down it just gets more and more delightful. White floral becoming more and more present, more and more round and smooth. This stuff is truly a wild ride. Not your everyday fragrance! Ill give it a five.

I thought this smelled awful out of the botte, but I know Profumum can be complex and needs some drydown time. The first 15 minutes were kind of hard, but I am sooo glad i tried it. It dries down so wonderfully I cannot explain it. Do not judge a book by a cover..this one is proof of that old axiom.

Love's Baby Soft and bubble gum. Did my sample get mislabeled?? Not masculine AT ALL - "unisex gardenia scent" on what planet????!!!!. Pleasant if it was $15, but I'm rolling my eyes since it's over $200. I gave it a solid 2 hours, too, and nothing changed. If you like baby-powder scents, try this out; otherwise, don't even sample it. (I've tried several Profumum scents, and I haven't even come close to liking one of them. Maybe it's just my chemistry, but I think I'm done with this line!)
