Anucci Men

1989 was a great year for fragrances, and this one has been on my radar for bloody ages. Annuci being an Italian company, have made fragrances since the late eighties with this and a version for the ladies, including several others over the years. They're very unknown, and not a lot of people probably talk about this fragrance or the company. I had heard of Annuci; due to a mens cosmetic bag that I own which was my late grandads, in which was from this brand, and since I found that they made fragrances, I had to check out the original from the house which I found to be this..Annuci for men. Now the scent itself is very different, yet easily much more recognisable in the drydown. It opens up very fresh with a little bit of citrus, and strong on florals. There is some BERGAMOT and mixed citruses along with CHAMOMILE and an apparent WOODS note. As it starts to dry; most of the top notes subside and a beautiful LAVENDER comes into the mix creating the perfect barbershop scent; a beautiful LAVENDER too.. Theres also a soft PATCHOULI and grassy VETIVER making it green like a country meadow..which is kinda perfect considering the silhouette of the golfer on the front of the bottle and the golf ball bottle design. The silhouetted golfer taking a swing on the front would make one think that this is a green, fresh outdoorsy scent that would remind you of playing golf on a summers day; you would be correct, though deep down a personal scent. It's cosy in the drydown, especially when the MUSK appears, with a lot of OAKMOSS. Amber is also listed though to me I think the AMBER creates more of a blanket around the scent instead of it being your typical oriental AMBER note. It's a clean Amber. Still, this is fantastic. Truly fantastic. Perfect for spring as it is bright yet clean and musky. I can't wait to wear more of this and to perhaps review it in the future. Longevity is brilliant, 8 solid hours of white floral musky heaven. Sillage is projecting for around half an hour, yet quite strongly

I cannot believe that no one reviewed this yet! This is a super smelling very european scent to me. I do not own it but my big brother Mark wore this exclusively and it always reminds me of a sporty, well dressed man with a beautiful lady on his arm and money in his pocket... Bright citruses mix with sweet jasmine and subtle green chamomile. This is very woody smelling out of the gate and that only adds to the richness of the scent. The heart of patchouli's dirty sexiness mixed with elegant lavender and vetiver is so very sensual and clean at the same time. The drydown of oakmoss, musk and amber gives this a warm green feeling that you just want to smell all day long. I guess because Mark wore this, I always associated it with a 'ladies man' who had refined tastes and a passion for life... Sillage: wide Longevity: very good Overall: 4.25/5 This is a real elegant mens cologne and anyone who wants to smell rich, sexy and alive should give this a good sniff...you may just find something you have been looking for all along. I'm gonna have to get some of this (and soon), I nearly forgot about it as Mark moved to California 5 years ago and though we talk now and again...I can't 'smell' him and nearly forgot how gorgeous this scent truly is!

This is quite the hidden gem - a rare men's white floral musk, with just enough of the vetiver/wood/patchouli accord to give it an earthy moderation in the background and maintain its neutrality on the scale of scents. Many men will find this too soft/floral, for a woman's scent it definitely will come off as masculine. In my opinion this puts it pretty close to the middle of the unisex dartboard. The words that come to mind when I use this are relaxed, comforting - even nostalgic to a degree that I can only imagine this as a throwback to some smell from my youth that I was too young to understand what I was experiencing, but this sensory fragment of memory is triggered hard when I put this on. It is incredibly versatile - this can be as casual or formal as you want it to be. I've worn it to work, our for an evening with my wife and also after dinner at home for no reason at all other than I find it to be something soothing. It also has good projection for 4-5 hours and incredible staying power closer to the skin - I can still smell this on me12-14 hours after morning application.

I actually love everything about this. I find the bottle more nostalgic and classy rather than tacky, it's not a robot or a fist or a male torso (those I find tacky). This is elegant and tastefully executed! A powdery white floral, soft Lavender, warm amber fragrance with a citrus opening, slightly soapy fresh too.. Very easy to wear, not sharp or dated to my nose. Yeah it's got a yesteryear smell but since the blend is on point it could easily pass for today's "niche". I get moderate projection and longevity for me but I'm fine with that. Bottle - 8 Scent - 9 Sprayer - 9 Uniqueness - 8 Quality - 8 Overall - 8.5 This will be perfect in the spring! So easy to wear. I picture white shirt, khaki pants and all white sneakers right here. Even better, golf polo and some chinos! This honestly could be formal, semi formal, or casual due to its nature. A crowd pleaser that stand out from today's ambroxan blues.

I'm wearing this today and I have to say that as cheap purchased this for, this is a manly masterpiece. There, I said it. I know a lot of you who've smelled or own this, feel the same way. You're just holding back on saying it lol This is one of those perfumes that you keep wanting to smell and think, just because it's price tag is so cheap,, you're perhaps being nostalgic over it or maybe it's you and everyone else will only smell the cheapness or may find it old school; Nope. This is definitely really good and grows even better as it dries down. This dry, niche smelling, amber accord just comes out and tells everyone around you how effortlessly virile and capable you are. Out of my whole collection, this has to fall somewhere, at least, in my top 20 most liked fragrances. Definitely a Spring staple of mine.
