What wearers say
“I’ve never tried the original but the scent profile a speaks to me. This reminds me of Xandal; but if you swapped out the heavy vanilla and chocolate truffle note and replace it with the fruity peach and apple combo. There’s a hint of leather in the dry down as well. A great winter to spring transition scent as it’s warm and cosy but fresh at the same time. I really like it!”
“I don't seem to reach out for it. Very weak performance and very soft for my taste. I can't really think or talk about any of the other notes everybody is talking about, since it's overall a soft scent. To me it smells mostly like sweet fruity-flavoured marzipan with a hint of boozyness. The opening is very promising, starting with a syrupy fruitiness, but it dials down very very fast. I found that it lasts more on paper and clothes, but on my skin it goes very quickly.”
“I recently got a sample of Triumph of Bacchus so I could compare these two fragrances. To my nose, Bacchus’ opening handles the rum note better than Colosseum. I find the rum note in Bacchus smoother and less harsh/nostril flaring than Colosseum. But once that dry down starts they start to get extremely close and eventually become almost indistinguishable. Between the two I would say Bacchus has a slightly higher note quality overall. But given how close the two get on dry down you can’t go wrong with this affordable option.”
