Amplexus by Mauro Lorenzi Profumi
Amplexus Parfum / Extrait de Parfum is a unisex fragrance from the Italian brand Mauro Lorenzi Profumi, released in 2023.
The composition belongs to the oriental and floral fragrance families and is part of the Luxurya Collection, where expressive florals meet a rich, sensual base.
The name Amplexus can be understood as an invitation to an intimate, almost personal olfactory experience.
This extrait de parfum has very strong projection: the fragrance is noticeable in the air and can linger on the skin and clothing for a long time, making it especially appealing to those who enjoy striking and memorable compositions.
Amplexus combines radiant citrus freshness, lush white flowers and a soft gourmand warmth.
Its unisex character unfolds flexibly: on some skin, the fragrance may smell brighter and sunnier, while on other skin it can become deeper, creamier and woodier.
How the fragrance unfolds
The opening of the composition is built around grapefruit, orange and neroli.
The citrus accord smells sparkling and clean, while neroli adds a green bitterness and a delicate floral nuance, creating a distinctive first impression.
As it develops, Amplexus becomes fuller and more floral.
Jasmine sambac, magnolia, orange blossom and ylang-ylang meet in the heart, creating a rich, sunny and slightly creamy white-floral accord.
A warm base gradually softens the intensity of the floral heart.
Cashmeran and sandalwood form a velvety woody foundation, musk extends the fragrance's longevity, while tonka bean and vanilla add a sweet, enveloping facet.
Wearability and projection
Amplexus is well suited to evenings, special occasions and moments when you want to emphasize your individuality.
Thanks to its extrait de parfum concentration and very strong projection, the fragrance performs best in cool weather, although a small amount may also work well in the warmer seasons.
The manufacturer has not provided precise recommendations regarding the number of sprays for the skin or clothing.
Given the composition's high intensity, it is sensible to start with a minimal application, assess how it develops on your skin and gradually find a comfortable dosage.
Its place in the collection and similar fragrances
Amplexus continues Mauro Lorenzi Profumi's vision of contemporary Italian perfumery: here, a traditional love of flowers is combined with the dense, almost precious texture of an oriental composition.
The lack of information about the perfumer and other concentrations makes it impossible to accurately compare the perfumer's signature or different versions of the fragrance, so its notes, concentration and projection remain the main points of reference.
Those interested in noticeable floral fragrances with a strong presence may want to explore Carolina Herrera Good Girl, as well as compare Amplexus with Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire and Dior Addict Eau Fraiche.
At the same time, Amplexus stands out for its combination of a citrus opening, white flowers and a warm vanilla-musk base.
