NUMERO DUE II Adamo Parfum for women and men

One of my all time favorite signatures for the winter and best finds in 2023. I trust Fragrancelesques taste and blindly bought it...oh man she knows what she is talking about. Here is what I think:
In its entirety, Adamo Numero 2 is like a perfectly tailored suit: classic, yet never boring. The warm, spicy notes blend seamlessly with the leathery undertones, creating a scent that's rounded, full, and impeccably balanced. It's not just a fragrance; it's a statement of elegance and timelessness, leaving a trail of warmth and sophistication in its wake. Compliments factor 10/10 perform 10/10 scent profile and uniqueness 10/10. The journey from opening is seductive in every way... definitely signature worthy!

This fragrance seamlessly marries sophistication with warmth, crafting a lasting impression that exudes both captivation and elegance. NUMERO II is, ideal for any occasion, stems from a unique amalgamation of notes. Throughout the day, the fragrance gracefully evolves, unveiling diverse layers of complexity. The delightful citrus tones of blood orange and bergamot blend seamlessly with a subtle touch of spice, artistically enriched by the grounding and earthy essence of patchouli, musk, and amber. The result is a multifaceted experience that lingers in the memory.

@Medellinin said everything excellently.
I strongly agree with most of it, but I just don't feel the connection with OudWood. ( sry but nope )

My opinion on this perfume creation is that it is truly flawless.
After studying this fragrance, I discover its transitions and its changing direction, which is more than surprising and pleasant to follow.
Yes, Halfeti could be mentioned here as a kind of original case (orientation) at the very opening and initial development. But later? This all ends with some admixture of Alexandria II.
Very unique, very magically intertwined and very divine.
I would say this is a personal collection perfume for special occasions.

Another huge love from Adamo. A non-linear ultra seductive and sexy, yet such a smooth woody fragrance with a blood orange that isn’t mouthwatering but rather dried. The saffron is just complimentary, it’s not a focus of this fragrance which is what I love since it just adds a little something extra to destroy the otherwise too powdery smooth woody feel.

It’s definitely unisex and since I love unisex woody fragrances, I love this sample too. This fragrance is a true olfactory journey. It changes over time and becomes better and better.

Full bottle worthy for men who love head turners that smell grown up, elegant and intriguing.

I agree with Medellinin. I definitely get the oud wood vibe. I'm going the route of I get that from the earthy saffron, the green creamy woodiness of the sandalwood and a sharp scent coming from the pepper.

I'm no expert though, but all in all Numero II is a great fragrance. Probably the best one for a warm spring day or hot summer night out of the first 3

All 3 of these scents are a journey. I sprayed them all on tester strips first, and they had transformed significantly each time I smelled them. There's absolutely a Jeroboam-esque effect going on here where it smells different with each wearing, and likely to each nose that smells it.

With that said, it seems that this one changes the least of the 3 so far. Número II started off very Santal 33 and quickly moved to TF Oud Wood/Thameen Carved Oud, before settling comfortably in Xerjoff Alexandria II territory while retaining a punchy, citric character that the above scents don't have... I suspect it's an olfactory side effect of the blood orange and saffron. Oud isn't listed but this smells like every bit of a high quality oud fragrance to me. Whether it's an illusion or a secret ingredient is up for debate, but this is most likely full bottle worthy if you like Alexandria II.
