Adamo ParfumKraus (Numero I) Extrait

Description Numero I is a boozy violet: dark rum and powdery violet over patchouli and cedar. It was the first release in Adamo Parfum's Roman collection in 2023, and the house has since renamed it Karus. Christian Provenzano is credited as the perfumer. The opening pairs rum with a spiced rosy note, listed by Luckyscent as pink pepper (baies rose). Violet sits at the center, soft and velvety, with ripe raspberry adding a jammy sweetness. The base is earthy patchouli and dry cedarwood, which keeps the sweetness in check and gives it a warm, ambery finish. It wears unisex and reads darker and more sensual than most violet scents. Scent Character Floral : 34% Rich Ambers : 18% Woody : 17% Sweet : 16% Fresh : 15% Translation: floral first, led by violet, with a warm resinous share from patchouli that reads ambery rather than oud. Rum and raspberry bring the sweetness, and cedar gives it structure. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Rum, Pink Pepper Heart: Violet, Raspberry Base: Patchouli, Cedarwood Some retailers list the top note as rose. Luckyscent describes it as baies rose, the pink peppercorn. Performance Longevity: Made at extrait strength, so plan on most of a day on the majority of skin types. Sillage: Moderate to strong in the first hours, softening as the patchouli takes over. Projection: About arm's length early on, then a closer, warm aura. An honest note: Public wear data is limited, so treat these ranges as a guide. Reviewers mostly place it in cooler months. Best Occasions & Season Best in autumn and winter, and on cool spring evenings. Good for dinners, date nights and quiet evenings in. Unisex. Skip it in hot, humid weather, when the rum and raspberry can turn heavy.
