Profumum Dolce Artica: Swedish Forest Berries Meet Italian Gourmand Craft

Profumum Roma has a new one, and it is not coming to every shelf. Dolce Artica is a collaboration with Gents, the Swedish grooming boutique, and it is exclusive to them — 300 bottles, 100ml Eau de Parfum, €300.

The idea is Nordic nature through Italian perfumery. Gents and Profumum looked to the Swedish forest: blueberry bushes between the pines, wild strawberries and raspberries along the paths. The result is a berry-forward gourmand that stays cool and fresh instead of going full candy.

The scent

Top: Lemon, Mandarin, Blueberry

Heart: Wild Strawberry, Tonka Bean

Base: Wild Raspberry, Sandalwood, Vanilla

It opens bright — citrus up front, but blueberry sets the tone, cool and slightly tart. The heart brings wild strawberry, deeper and more aromatic than the cultivated kind, with green leafy edges and tonka bean smoothing it into something creamy without getting heavy. The drydown turns to wild raspberry, drier and more tart, still green and a little untamed, over vanilla and sandalwood.

Early impressions

One early tester described it as rice pudding with almond cream and berry compote — lush, dense, and sweet, but cut by a tart blueberry acidity. Longevity is reported as very Profumum: long-lasting with moderate projection.
