Italiano Uomo

How on earth are any of you guys comparing this to Chrome legend is literally baffling my brain so bad that it hurts, it hurts even more to compare this to Jaguar amber. Come on guys... Are you guys trolling for for the sake of it? This is not a freshie, and if you compare the pyramids in both Chrome legend/Jaguar Amber, there are some main notes missing in both.This is a dark, gasoline, nutty type of scent that works best on the colder days. This is almost an exact copy of Franck Olivier Oud, Or Guerlain L’homm ideal, but a less sweeter and very intense version of that. Ignore the pyramid, it says there is bergamot, you do not get that in this. The main notes that are the most prevalent in this bottle is the “Iris” first and foremost, patchouli, liquorice, and musk. Any other notes get drowned out by the notes I’ve mentioned. Genetlmen, trust me with what I’m saying to you here. The petrol vibe in this is like Fahrenheit cologne but just does it a different way, it is not a clone, just want to be clear about that. I own chrome legend and jaguar amber. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ALIKE. I’m giving this an 8/10, I’d give this a 9, but because it’s so strong and smells the way it does, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for versatility. If you like scents with a strong emphasis on Iris, grab this, you won’t be disappointed. The longevity and silage in this is outstanding too. Maybe the word outstanding is not strong enough. I sprayed this at 3:30pm and it’s 1:15 in the morning, just took a shower before going to bed, and somehow I still smell this on me. The strength is ridiculously strong, I sprayed 4 times, keep that in mind. My online provider is selling the bottle for 11$ for a 100ml?! I can’t wrap my head around the value for my money.

To my nose, I get a fresh green herbal licorice heart with the base of Mont Blanc Legend. As it dries, to me it turns into Legend more and more. It keeps that piquant herbal heart pretty much the whole time. I'm also thinking there is a hidden note of apple not listed, but it could just be the bergamot and basil/sage mixture. I love this as a summer work scent. You can easily rock this dressed up or down. Super versatile. This is an excellent fragrance in the Armaf line. It's a sleeper hit and by the looks of these reviews, some people are put off by what they are getting. If you like Creed Bois Du Portugal and other mature green scents that are sophisticated and safe for formal/office wear, than you should like this. This is a fresh modern take on a an herbatious and watery green scent. It's super refreshing and zesty in the opening without using entirely citruses. Instead you get a gorgeous mix of basil, violet, and liqourice. This could easily pass as some new Creed scent if it had a slightly better musk in the base and was blended slightly better. Some people might think they're getting a rasberry/leather accord in here, but they are not. The basil, violet and licorice are mixing together to give a slightly waxy and slight vanillic accord. It is mixed with the bergamot and sage that gives you a very uplifting fruity leather feel, but it's overall much brighter than tuscan leather. I don't really feel this scent comes off as super leathery, it's too bright for that. In 2005 there were plenty of scents that had a strong anise and/or licorice notes, there was Eau du Badian L'Occitane, Diesel Fuel for Life, there was a star anise fresh green scent by PacSun. This isn't anything new necessarily, but it is well done.

When I first sprayed it, it reminded me of Burberry Brit Rhythm! But it reminds me of Brit Rhythm less as it dries down. Some say this reminds them of Azzaro Chrome, but I don't get that similarity. However, I do find it has similarities with many different scents from very different genres, such as Mercedes-Benz Intense, Fahrenheit Aqua, Givenchy Gentlemen Only, Diesel Only the Brave, Afnan Highness White, and most importantly Bleu de Chanel. The incense vibe in this scent is SO STRONG! It's almost like a Bleu de Chanel clone took a turn for the worse (but in the very best way, because I do like this scent)! I would describe this as a "heavy dark freshy". It's a fresh scent that's also heavy, loud projecting, and long lasting. There really isn't much in that category in my collection, besides Mercedes-Benz Intense and Chopard 1000 Miglia. All in all, the composition is VERY UNIQUE and VERY VERY GOOD! Also, this isn't too dirty to my nose, it has a crisp clean finish in the nose, in spite of being a darker set of notes and the abundance of incense. Being completely honest, this could've been released by Givenchy or Burberry or Coach and it would've been a staple in their offerings! But instead, people are relying on reviews to guess what to expect when they blind buy it, and I think that leaves a lot of people let down since this is so unique. Smell this scent with absolutely zero expectations besides the incense, and you will likely find yourself pleasantly surprised. This scent is a sleeper. This will be a great Spring and Fall scent for me. This is a scent you could wear on any occasion, however it's definitely not going to be a scent for everyone.

Not sure if I like this one.. Does anyone else feel it smells like grandma's purse? Lipstick and leather? Is this what this is supposed to smell like? Blind bought it because many reviews here and elsewhere said it smells like Tuscan Leather. Not having tried Tuscan leather either, i was pretty unsure of what to expect.. To my nose this one's really feminine. Does anyone else second that or am i wrong here? Edit: Gave it a couple of wears and I am starting to really appreciate this juice. Has a Brut-ish dry down with spicy (Star Anise?) undertones. The opening is not something i am really a fan of but past the 30 min. mark this is really wonderful.

The person who compared this perfume with Azzaro Chrome legend has serious olfactory problems! Armaf definitely tried to clone Tuscan Leather! TL and Italiano Uomo go through the same channel only that they lack the rasberry note! It is not an exact clone but they have their similarities! I only paid $ 13 dollars for it, so I'm not going to complain about its quality! moderate prjecion and on my skin lasted about 9 hours!
