Carthusia Uomo

This is a classic 'green' fragrance for men. The dominant notes are oakmoss, cedar and geranium, giving a clean, crisp, gentlemanly and classic fragrance that performs well with respect to longevity and projection. This fragrance fits in a bracket of a 'classic' fragrance style. It could not be called a modern fragrance. However, it certainly does not have a dated feel, owing to the crisp, fresh and clean nature of the fragrance. My opinion is that this sits in the same ballpark as Green Irish Tweed (not in terms of scent similarity, but rather in terms of the style of fragrance) however my feeling is that this Creed is highly dated and stuffy, whereas Uomo is not. This fragrance works very well in the office owing to its clean nature. While musk features as a basenote, I would say that this is not overpowering, meaning it is suitable for indoor use in an office as well as outdoors. I find that this cuts through the cold particularly well, and as such it is my favourite choice for colder, windier days when spending time outdoors. It is quite versatile. My last point on this fragrance is that my girlfriend (26yo) absolutely loves this on me. It is a manly, strong, clean and fresh scent that she enjoys a great deal. While not all that original in composition, it is of noticeable quality and is completely timeless. It is the finest from the Carthusia lineup. I would recommend this for men aged 28 - 30+ Scent: 8/10 Quality: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10 Overall: 9/10

Last Summer I visited several Carthusia stores around the Amalfi Coast and just got overwhelmed with the many great options. This year’s visit I knew I had to get something. I visited the factory store (literally can watch them make the perfumes through a window) and forced myself to settle on buying just one and not three. Carthusia has many great offerings, although none are honestly groundbreaking. I went with this one after much deliberation and patient sales associate. It has hard to pass up a citrus, but I have some of the best citrus fragrances in the world in my collection already. I wanted another manly, everyday, soapy, woody, barbershop scent. This fits the ticket. I don’t think this one is likely a big compliment getter. It certainly hasn’t been for me. But I feel confident when I wear it, and it smells mature (while not being old mannish), high quality, and just generally good. This is a good “dumb reach@ fragrance when you’re looking through your collection and can’t decide what to wear. This will fit any weather, any occasion, and just work. The performance is pretty good; I can easily get a full day out of it, albeit not monstrous projection. Even high heat with sweating, by the end of the day I could still smell it some. The only thing that I can fault it for is the bottle. It’s very basic and has a cheap plastic cap. Just nitpicking at this point. Great addition to any collection.

This is in the league of the mature/barbershop type of smell. Carthusia uomo is a nice fragrance, fresh with bergamot and lemon, warm with sandalwood and spicies, elegant with amber, oakmoss and clean with musk and grass. The scent is not heavy but airy, cozy and rounded. It's something refined but not too serious, ideal for a kind gentleman. If you like as i do fragrances like bois du Portugal, chanel pour monsieur, platinum egoiste, paco rabanne xs, old grigioperla, margiela at barber's or roja scandal cologne u will appreciated carthusia uomo. This scent is in that direction, so nothing for young people or for sporty enviroments. The performance is so so, good projection for the first hour, then became a skin scent. Longevity 5-6h. Wearable all year around. Clean, refined and invigorating: carthusia uomo is a good choice! Carthusia uomo è un profumo pulito, elegante e rinfrescante. Fresco con alcune note calde, questo profumo dai toni un po' barbershop è adatto ad un gentleman oltre i 35. Indossabile tutto l'anno, performance così cosi, è abbastanza leggero e non invadente.

No My vote-8 In one word- classic Alternative - bois du Portugal, chanel pour monsieur, Platinum egoiste, roja scandal cologne, margiela at barber's...

CU is a manly, barbershop-like fragrance, a bit old school but not dated, classy, sophisticated, old money style and very elegant, but an understated elegance. It's more like a cashmear sweater from Brunello Cuccinelli than a hoodie from Balenciaga. The fragrance is woody, aromatic, green. Fresh but with a solid woody/green backbone. CU is in the same realm of TF Beau de Jour, Amouage Beach hut man, Creed GIT (but dryer), without being too close to the frags just mentioned. I think CU would be appropriate for men over 30-35, put together and masculine individuals who are confident but not arrogant and loud. CEO vibe 100%, but not of a woke company (this for sure). If you like old school, classic fragrances, those type of scents which never get out of style like Persol sun glasses or a double breasted navy blazer with metal buttons, then try this scent out and you won't be disappointed. Performance wise I would say CU is very long lasting (8-10 hours plus on my skin), but it's not a loud, projecting scent. To smell it, people need to be a bit closer to you (let's say an arm radius), but an elegant scent it's never too loud. If you can, test it before buying, because this frag I guess is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like TF Beau de Jour, Creed GIT or Viking, Amouage Beach hut man, then you're gonna like CU as well for sure.

Nostalgia has over run my senses here. Uono has got everything that inspires words like masculine, clean, soapy and most of all dated. Personally I don't care it's a wonderful mixture of a lemony citrus opening which soon turns to powdery geranium and a touch of greeness with fresh woody cedar. There's warmth in there sure but I can't say I detect an amber accord more like sandalwood. The kicker notes throughout, oakmoss and musk they keep it sour and interesting, not too barbershop soapy. Uomo is strong and long lasting and has something elegant about it which I'm really enjoying. Certhusia Uomo is brilliant I have to say! I'm very surprised because this is not especially my usual type of fragrance but for some reason I'm enjoying this one a great deal. It has all the great qualities of classic juices like Old Spice or Kouros.
