Adi ale Van Coliva - Gourmand Potion is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Giovanni Festa. Coliva - Gourmand Potion opens with White Chocolate, Cacao Pod, Cardamom, and Coffee, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Iris, and Bread, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Animalic, and Vanilla. Adi ale Van's Coliva - Gourmand Potion carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

An unusual gourmand with a long list of sweet, bitter and savoury notes: white chocolate, coffee, bread and butter alongside frankincense and labdanum. Interesting rather than easy, so it suits adventurous noses.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this perfume commands attention, making it less suitable for professional or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. Its complex, unusual profile and warm character are best suited for evening occasions or colder weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

The opening is crowded: white chocolate, coffee, cacao pod, licorice, cardamom, frankincense and wormwood. The heart adds bread, cedar, iris and cypriol oil, a savoury and woody turn. The base finishes with vanilla, butter, tonka bean, amber, musk, labdanum and an animalic note. It is a dense, rich gourmand that mixes dessert sweetness with bitter and resinous touches, and it is clearly built to be different.
