Alessandro
Eau de Toilette
by Mazzolari

The Scoop
Bitter almond, sweet honey and a soft powdery notes give Alessandro a dreamy, rich quality that zips you away to a bedroom filled with satin sheets, candles and exotic candies. Almond and honey are the initial temptresses, beguiling your nose with their sweet charms. As the golden almond scent softens, it develops a lovely powdered almond feel…gentle and embracing. At the base is a vanilla-like warmth with a kiss of sophistication. Elegant, a bit dry, and utterly captivating, Alessandro is considered by many to be their 'holy grail' of fragrances.

I don't like this at all. Normally I quite enjoy vanilla and almond together, but the honey makes it very fake smelling to me. Sort of like an industrial solvent. I normally don't like honey in scents but I thought it would be different mixed with my two favourite smells. I was wrong. It could be just my chemistry, but I had to scrub this off.

Now this stuff is amazing! It is just a touch spicy in the opening with the honey and then it slowly transforms itself into a gorgeous almond and vanilla dream. The almond is more pronounced than the vanilla throughout but the vanilla I think keeps it soft and creamy. I am in love with this. On my skin it is sophisticated and rich yet not "old" or "classic". There are only 3 notes listed but yet this fragrance is complex and stunning. I have tried MANY almond scents, vanilla scents, and combinations of those 2 scents and Alessandro is by far the best for me. I keep going back to it among the many samples I have. There's just something about this gorgeous perfume that always makes me feel beautiful and happy when I wear it. Lasts a very long time and the silage is very good as well. No complaints here. One last thing, the top not is quite different from the middle and base notes so just give it a good 30 minutes to really open up and bloom. Not that the top note is bad at all but it's more spicy honey than almond and vanilla. YUM.

Alessandro is the pinnacle of all almond-cookie-goodness scents. If this doesn't inspire your man/woman/partner/random strangers to nibble your neck...then they are likely space aliens and you should probably run. Alessandro opens with a liqueur-ish sweetness that almost rolls across your tongue, melting like the finest confection but the slight dryness of the almond keeps it from being "sugary". The powdery note is almost floral and I don't really detect any honey...but that's fine since honey scents don't usually work for me. The nice thing about the almond in Alessandro is that it doesn't go flat and hollow after about 30 minutes like many almond fragrances. If you like almond...you need to try this...you NEED to.

Another nice almond scent (and I am a huge almond fan). Many reviewers said that this doesn't last very long but on me it does last quite long and the silage is also good. I smell the honey and the almond mostly. This perfume keeps changing while you wear it, and I like that. It has a sophisticated air to it, a rich woman's choice of perfume is how I see it. It's elegant but also smooth and warm. I can understand why many people would consider Alessandro to be a "holy grail" perfume. It's easily wearable day or night and it exudes femininity. I would say it has a classic air to it without meaning it smells like an old lady's perfume. I am 30 yrs old and it works great on me. I very much like this perfume but personally, it's not MY holy grail. Worth trying a sample for sure.

Wanted so much to have this be a "big love." In fact, I once DID love this--in 1975...It was Avon's "Sweet Honesty."

My very wpmderful husband bought this for me for Christmas. I had requested a bottle of Lea, but it was out of stock. The person from Lucky Scent helping him on the phone suggested Alessandro. The customer service here is amazing. They sent my husband the bottle of Alessandro, along with a sample of Alessandro, so that I could try it out before opening the bottle, in case I didn't like it!!! They also sent along several other similar sample scents. But this was definitely the one! It is lovelier, more subtle and complex than Lea. Lea is very synthetic-y to me now. This scent has a very strong bitter almond beginning, then softens to a not-too-sweet vanilla. It is the ultimate baby-powder scent, that changes as the day goes on. I really love it, and am very happy with our experience here at Lucky Scent! Thank you!

This is a lovely scent.....for 30 seconds, then is fades almost completely. After a couple of hours I can no longer smell even a faint trace. It has a very gentle powder, though, and isn't an overly sweet scent.

Love it!!! I always get the "what smells like play doh comment" I love play doh so I don't mind. It is unique and lovely on the skin. Don't let the play doh thing scare you away from this. I find this is a fall/winter scent.

Very soft, very gentle, never too strong or overwhelming, though the staying power is not good I really like the almond sweetness on my skin...

This smells so much like the shower gel/foam product that came with one of my bathtime barbies when I was a kid. Powdery and that stuff was so cheap!

Started out gorgeous, then after the play-dough stage (common for almond) it took on a strong cigarette smell, finally ending in white florals, which don't work well on my skin in such strong concentrations. Reminded me of one of the reasons I quit smoking. eww.

WOW! so glad I didnt purchase a full bottle! I cant believe all the hype about this scent---it is a very syrupy-overly swwet-baby powder in a bottle for a SICK amout of money. I adore Luckyscent,but...LEA ST BARTH IS MUCH BETTER!I also was quite amazed at how good CAROLS DAUGHTER ALMOND COOKIE is, check that one out it is 28.00!!! its lovely.

This was a very pleasant, sweet, delicate scent. Not at all something I could wear out, but very pretty. It smells exactly like Johnson& Johnson's baby powder on me, which isn't exactly what I'm looking for in a perfume. I gave my sample to my 9 year old daughter, who loves it. It's a better fit for her.

WOW.... What A Diamond in the perfume ruff. If you love powdery soft fragrances this is a must have! And the presentation is beautiful also.

I usually dont like cherry alomond scents(it was a free sample), but I will give it a 4 because it is a very pleasant smell. When I first put it on it reminded me of bath and body's cherry blossom mixed with baby powder, which is a great smell, and then in dried down to a verry cherry almond, which is great if you like cherry almond!

I don't like foody scents, or sweet scents, and typically don't like powdery scents. This one just hooked me in seconds flat. It opens with bitter almond, moves to honey (also a bit bitter), and for some reason reminds me of salty, buttery, carmel-coated skin. For me, this is a carnal scent, albeit an elegant one. This is no teenager scent. No in-your-face cumin or musk. It lasts for hours on my skin.

Clean and sweet-but the romance is short lived. Scent lasted for a mere moment.

This is like an unexpected romp with your lover on a warm afternooon with the sunlight streaming through the window. Starts off sweet - gentle and powdery, but the drydown is highly adult - warm and erotic. I love this!!!

Cherry baby powder. I like the almond, but the pure almond doesn't last long, it goes "loukhoum" very fast. Can live without it, esp. considering the pirce. If you like the cherry/vanilla/powder/almond scent though, you'll love this one.

Baby powder....not a bad scent, but not the delicate almond i was expecting. I was in denial for about an hour after putting it on, but I eventually accepted that this smells exactly like baby powder.

For the first 1.5 seconds it was soft and yummy.....and then wham! Sharp, sharp almond, almost like fake cherry. So not sweet and soft on me. Yucky!

This was to soft for me and smelled exactly like Johnson and Johnson's baby powder, but still very nice.

Oh. My God. This is so incredbily satisfying and long-lasting. And sweet/creamy/delicious. This is up there with Les Nereides Imperial Opoponax for one of the best fragrances ever. They are very different, but they are both decadent, gorgeous and rich. Alessandro is foody and fabulous. Cherry Vanilla for jet-setters!

Definitely a holy grail for almond/vanilla lovers. From start to finish, the blend is soft, pretty, & absolutely delicious, with none of the unnecessary rose overtones of other loukhoum scents (like Keiko Mecheri's or Montale's Sweet Oriental Dream). In purity and in price it is most similar to that other holy-grail almond scent, Serge Lutens's Rahat Loukoum, but with a more powdery than musky drydown. Alessandro's staying power is criminally limited, though. For that price, I would like it to last forever.

Sweet almondy goodness! Very yummy. However, I am not sure this is $155 worth of yummy. I'm so glad I purchased a sample. I enjoy this, but there is nothing complicated or that unique about it. The sweet almond notes dry to a soft sweet powdery finish...nothing more nothing less. It will not replace the ultmate almond scent SL Rahat Loukhoum in my mind. You can probably find a similar sweet almond scent for much less
