Ichnusa by Profumum Roma receives mixed community reception as a fresh fig alternative with an appealing green herbal opening. While praised for its initial character and value proposition, multiple users note the fragrance doesn't sustain its green qualities, transitioning to a sweeter, more generic woody base that may disappoint those seeking a true Philosykos alternative.

Created by respected perfumer Jerome Epinette
负面
Generic woody base note
Green character doesn't last long; sweetens significantly
