Coreterno — Ultralove
Essence
Ultralove is Coreterno’s milky praline gourmand: a 2025 Arturetto Landi composition built around hazelnut, milk, vanilla, honey and musk, with a Raffaello-like confectionery signature.
Scent Profile
The opening is creamy, nutty and sweet, led by praline, hazelnut and milk. Coffee and strawberry are listed, but both sit far behind the main accord: coffee reads as a faint roasted edge, while strawberry is more suggestion than obvious fruit. The immediate effect is milky confectionery rather than espresso dessert.
The heart adds jasmine and lily-of-the-valley as lift, not as a floral takeover. They keep the gourmand center from feeling completely opaque, but the fragrance remains focused on cream, praline and nutty sweetness.
The drydown is vanilla, honey, tonka, white musk and sandalwood, with ambergris and oakmoss adding a faint grey-earthy shadow. It grows sweeter and warmer over time, while staying more cocooning than explosive. The defining image remains a coconut-praline sweet softened by milk.
Performance
Performance is the most divisive part of Ultralove. Some wearers get strong projection and all-day persistence, even from light application. Others report fast fading or little projection. The safest read is skin-dependent: sample before buying, and test in cool weather where the lactonic-gourmand structure is least likely to become heavy.
Wearing Context
Ultralove is best for autumn, winter, cozy evenings, dates and intimate casual wear. It is comforting and sweet rather than formal, and it leans feminine in effect despite unisex marketing. Hot weather and sweet-averse noses are the danger zones, because the milky praline accord can turn thick or cloying.
Comparisons & DNA
Ferrero Raffaello is the clearest reference, even more than another fragrance. Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa is relevant for the coffee-gourmand direction, though Ultralove is creamier and less spiced. Blanche Bete is useful as a lactonic comparison, but Ultralove avoids that fragrance’s animalic edge. Within Coreterno, it reads like a sweeter sibling to Mystic Sugar and shares the house’s plush musky-gourmand base.
Reception
Early reception is polarized-positive. Fans praise the creamy Raffaello accord, the comfort factor and the fact that it feels gourmand without becoming pure syrup. Criticism centers on performance variance, synthetic off-notes, heaviness and the fact that strawberry and coffee are much less prominent than the note list suggests. Value sentiment depends on whether the wearer’s skin amplifies or mutes the scent.
Versions & Reformulation
Ultralove was presented in 2025 and released as a single EDP composition. No flankers, concentration variants or reformulations are documented.
Acquisition Notes
Official pricing is around EUR 170 for 100 ml, with Coreterno sample/travel sets available for testing. Decants and samples are sensible because performance varies sharply. No specific counterfeit issue is documented for this recent niche release.
