The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2001 by Profumum Roma, Antico Caruso is a unisex fragrance that blends the crispness of citrus with the warmth of almond and amber. The opening notes of citruses are bright and fresh, creating an immediate sense of clarity and vibrancy. As it evolves, the scent reveals a heart of white florals and nutty nuances, bringing a soft sweetness to the composition. The woody base adds depth and longevity, grounding the fragrance with earthy tones that keep it from becoming overly sweet.

How to wear it

Antico Caruso has a moderate longevity, so aim for two to three sprays on pulse points. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, while the woody base lingers throughout the day. Best worn during cooler hours when the nutty and floral elements can shine without overpowering.
