Emanuel Ungaro Apparition Wild Orange

Ungaro Apparition Wild Orange is a scent that finds itself lingering somewhere between, "yeah!" and, "meh...". Wild Orange delivers an inexpensive alternative to many pricier citrus/spicy/"woody" offerings. While perhaps(definitely on me) lacking in longevity, the olfactory sensation it generates is pleasant.

I hoped it's for women and sprayed on myself. :) One of the best orange themes I've ever sniffed. There is no my favourite orange flower, but perception of the oranges here is equally pleasant, I agree. By the way, that's what I sought and never found in Mat Orange by Masaki Matsushima (ugh..: Fanta!). After the orange theme, rather well-balanced and well-executed, both reserved and original, goes more common masculine bergamot-lavender-vetiver base without being "testosterone" agressive. The longevity is not bad. Great option for summer. Would love it on men of different age.

so cheap but nothing importaant scent 4/10 preformence 3/10

Ok, here we go again: got this one based solely on ONE review I found on another site which stated: "YSL La Nuit lovers must try Ungaro Apparition Wild Orange", based on the fact that I love YSL La Nuit and notes being almost similar, I thought I will get a fresher feeling from this one. That review was somehow partially right: I DO get a similar feeling at some middle stages, but La Nuit is far better, spicier & more complex, and this is like a fleurs d'orangeur version of it, more creamy and softer. The top is spicy-fresh of sweet oranges with some green lime and faint cardamom, and then the scent quickly evolves to a strong sandalwood, with some sweet nutmeg and aromatic flowers (lavender, rosemary)...here I found is has a similar aura of YSL La Nuit middle notes. At dry down (after 5-6 hrs) it become woodier and sweeter with a vetiver/sandalwood/light vanilla combo, interesting enough. Overall a blind buy that I need more time to study. My first impression 6.8/10 ☣☣ Edit (22.10): I gave it away. Not something extraordinary or deserving to keep in my collection. No regrets.

Ordered some fragrances and instead of some free samples, the order contained a whole bottle of this as a free sample. I can smell a diluted and synthetic rosemary note in it, as well as some citrus on the initial spray. Neither of those things last, though. And then it was basically gone already. Not even gonna bother rating this as anything. Might make a good room spray, though, since it was free.
