Ungaro 2007

An early, under-appreciated Kurkdjian creation, but unfortunately it bit the dust with the reformulation. Typical. *scowls at IFRA* The og formula had a subtle peach-colored juice. The reformulation is a lavender-colored juice. HOWEVER, both will age into an amber color (although you will still be able to see the slightest tinge of purple in the reformulation)... SO, if you order what you might think is the original based on juice coloration (I made this mistake), ask the seller for the batch code under the bottle itself, then check the date on a website like checkfresh. This Ungaro fragrance underwent the rolling reformulations of 2015 like so many others, so try to get one with a batch code that is BEFORE 2015. I now have both an original and reformulated version, so let's compare, shall we? Reformulation : I remember smelling the original back in 2008 while in Europe. It left an impression. When I got in my reformulated version recently, I knew damn well that wasn't what I smelled back then. This is very pretty, heaps of girly jasmine and some currant, but it is completely missing the spiciness the og had. It's like the reformulation omitted the base notes. Honestly, this version is very Alien-esque with that grape soda opening other reviewers mentioned, but it doesn't get any deeper. This is office-friendly, inoffensive, legs-crossed sweetened jasmine. Slightly synthetic smelling. The Original : Sweet, gorgeous jasmine petals strewn over a smooth, spiced amber base. Warm, sensual, and incredibly comforting - like a warm cup of black jasmine tea with extra honey. Perfect for fall weather, but I wear it any time of year. It's a totally wholesome FK blend that wears long and projects well. Worth finding and owning if you are a jasmine fan-girl like myself. The reformulation is merely a shadow of what Francis Kurkdjian intended.

Introduced as a peachy-pink elixir as in the photo above, the formula has changed and the new juice is purple. The box design remains the same so it's easy to get the wrong one as I did recently. The original ranks among Francis Kurkdjian's best. and it does, indeed, resemble the sublime aura of Dune. Like Dune, the original juice has powerful sillage and amazing longevity, anywhere from 8-12 hours on my skin and literally days on clothing. But while Dune can be a bit melancholy Ungaro is unquestionably a happy, even uplifting fragrance. The peachy-pink juice opens with fresh red berries and a smooth & sunny, honeyed amber. This syrupy blend is followed quickly by the tang of saffron and a carnal/indolic vein of jasmine that together temper the initial sweetness and make this a complex and powdery spiced oriental. Best in cool/cold temps but it blooms on warm skin so it's also lovely when the temperature rises if applied with a lighter touch. The reformulated purple juice is nothing more than an ordinary fruity floral with poor longevity which Mr. Kurkdjian, were he to sniff it, would surely disavow. There's still quite a bit of the beautiful original juice available on line but go for an unboxed bottle to be sure of the color of the juice. And a hint: when you search on-line don't look for "Ungaro 2007" because this is the only site that refers to it with the date.

I love this fragrance. I do not find this a sexy oriental or, for that matter, an oriental at all. I find this a creamy fun floral fruity gourmand. The sillage and longevity are both good. The red berries, vanilla, and amber together smell good enough to eat. I don't usually like gourmands...but this strikes me as one and I love it! This is one of my favorite blind buys. Another wonderful thing about this scent is that I do not have to wait to love this fragrance. It is good from the first spray to the last hint. This scent also is evidence that it does not take many ingredients to make a fine fragrance. This is simple and wonderful. From my limited experience, the House of Emanuel Ungaro does not disappoint and they are most reasonable. I would make this one day and their divine Diva night. Ungaro does not have the sillage or longevity of Diva. It is average in both. I really do not see either of these as "seasonal". At the expense of being redundant, no matter what the category, oriental spicy, gourmand, or fruity floral, I LOVE THIS SCENT! P.S. I tried something I rarely try. I mixed this with Casmir and the two are heavenly together. I apologize for toying with these creations but think I made a great juice!!! I made a true Oriental Vanilla of the best kind.

Just bought my bottle of Ungaro & mini body lotion today. I bought this after testing it a few weeks ago and then found a set of it on clearance at Marshall's for twenty bucks! This smells like a blazing 80's silage bomb when sniffed from the bottle, but on my skin it turned all creamy, raspberry and had a sultry amber dry down. It was one of those scents that works well with certain chemistry's and you just know when you have found something that works...not just because you love it, but also because of the myriad of compliments that don't stop coming! I like that it is different than a lot of the fruity juices of the day. It is reminiscent to my nose of Lancome's Magnifique which I am guessing is coming from the prominent Saffron accord. Thank you for taking the time to read my review! xo

Think Amarige (I love Amarige) but smoother and without the shouty green sharpness. There's non-heady florals, not overly sweet or sharp berries to balance out the florals and the warmth of amber. It's intriguing, feminine and completely inoffensive in a way that it's not a choker. I tend to feel nauseous and get a headache if a perfume is even just slightly wrong for me (especially if there's woody notes in it) but this can be worn all day, every day as there's nothing in it that smells even a tiny bit synthetic. Brilliant all-rounder, it's hard to imagine a scenario that would be inappropriate to wear this lovely perfume.

Unbelievably well-done!!! Sexy, playful and classy all at the same time, the elements are all so well blended u can hardly make them out which I think is a plus, not one bit synthetic smelling... Lasts well past last call on a night out and has excellent projection... The only issue I had w/ this one was the size available and the cost, the 1 oz was $52 and the 1.7 was $68 and these were the only sizes available. I opted for the 1.7 but If I could have gotten a 3.4 for $80 or $90 it would have been a much better deal...Needless 2 say I killed the 1.7 in a matter of 6 months and now I cant seem 2 find it anywhere:(

This review is for a reformulated version. For me, it is love. It has a beautiful composition of berries, amber and white flowers. My nose does not detect a resemblance to Gabriela Sabatini, although it has some similar notes. Gabriela Sabatini is more mature, while Ungaro EDP is more youthful, playful and sweet. The durability of the perfume is ok. It stays on me for about 4-5 hours if I spray it on clothes even longer. Sillage is moderate. The bottle is not so practical because it is big and heavy. But the smell is really pleasant, which is the main thing. I recommend!

this smells exactly like F by Ferragamo Salvatore Ferragamo, but stronger, better sillage. looking by the notes it's obviousely very similar and both are from the genious nose Francis Kurkdjian. i like better the bottle of F by Ferragamo, but the juice i like better from this one ! stunning detail: both bottles are designed by the same person, Sylvie de France. this two fumes are sharing 3 points in common :) this one for me it is definitively a winner. love it!!! staying power and sillage amazing ! hope this will never be discontinued. really stunning artwork!

I find it extremely similar to F by Rerragamo (which I'm about to throw away) but without that sickly sweet plasticky bubble gumish note in the drydown. As opposed to F, Ungaro stays refined, transparent and clear overtime. I am so glad I found a wearable substitute! Ungaro is a very fun and flirty fragrance,great to wear on a daily basis all year around, because it is sweet but at the same time airy, not dense. Im not sure about longevity as yet, but the sillage is outstanding! Can't smell any similarities with Viva la Juicy whatsoever.

I love blind buying perfumes (its is such an excitment to not know what kind of juice is in that bottle) and this one was a success. It smells like nothing I've ever smelt before, so that's always exciting! The first spritz is very spicy fruity-berrish but then it settles into lovely sweet jasmine. Projection is amazing and the lasting power is about 5 hours, which is okey. Overall it's a very fun frag, can't imagine wearing to the opera, but I would definitely wear it to the picnic or amusment park. Worth every penny!

Unbelievably sexy, spicy perfume. I figured this would be a typical light floral like most new perfumes are, but Ungaro didn't follow the trend (thankfully). This release is no doubt a spicy oriental. The first spray is strong with amber and saffron, and then you can smell the jasmine. I didn't try this on my skin yet, but I am going to go back and wear it, possibly buy it. When I first tried this, I also tried Dune for the first time. There's a bit of similarity between Ungaro and Dune.

i had tester of ungaro when it was first released in 90's , when i was a child.. so i cant keep myself thinking of memories.. now i'm 27 , having 3.4 oz bottle and absolutely love it! it's a spicy, rich,warm and sensous perfume which makes me feel better. also i find it very smillar to alien and a little bit to poeme.. also unlike other ungaro perfumes, it lasts very long, alluring all day long.. i recommend it to everyone who is looking for a different scent.

Another blind buy 🙈 First impression - like it a lot This is so sexy to me Sweet and creamy jasmine, so seductive... I actually love it, especially on the skin I have the only formulation I know, which is the purple juice, which IMO matches the scent perfectly Edit: OMG I was trying to to remember what this scent is reminding me of and it hit me - Si Fiori Why? I have no idea but as it dries down that's what I'm getting on my skin I like this one better though

This was a blind buy, and I truly wasn’t expecting much. I have other Ungaro fragrances and haven’t found them to be that impressive. This one was love at first spray! So beautiful! I am a huge fan of white florals and this did not disappoint. It is elegant and long lasting on me. Desnuda either doesn’t last on me or I go noseblind to it pretty quickly. This one, I could still smell in the morning. I am very happy I have added this beauty to my collection!

I bought this thinking it was the original Ungaro so when I checked the bottle against the list on this website I was surprised that it was Ungaro 2007. Firstly, let's stop and appreciate the bottle itself. It's gorgeous to look at and so tactile. I've not seen another like it, love it. Secondly, the juice inside. It's wonderful. Addictive. Comforting. Just bloody lush. This is a review for a bottle from 2020, I've not smelled the earlier version.

Very sweet, grape opening. The perfume is even lavendar colored. It’s a soft sexy scent to me with the amber and powdery florals - smells expensive, high quality, and refined. There’s just something about the Ungaro fragrances and their drydowns that I really love with the beautiful powderiness. I love the beautiful bottle - the curve makes it easy to hold and spray. A successful blind buy and a great bargain!

At first just feel jasmine and white flowers, maybe a bit of berries. An hour later the berries is hard, sweet berries and amber that are nowhere near remind white floral, and last for hours and hours. No question is a very elegant scent, and very long, around 10-12h on my skin. This perfume reminds me Gabriela Sabatini, but much more refined, so if you like Gabriela Sabatini you will like this one.

I am in love!!!! this is so sexy ;) it is spicy , sweet (not too much) i get the berries and amber very soon when i spray it, and this stays for several hours, the drydown isn`t really diferent wich i like since i usually buy a perfume because i liked the first notes and then it gets totally different in some hours! well i believe it is really sexy and i would buy another bottle :)

My dear swap-pal Lily2911 gave me a sample of it. Once I tested I couldn't resist until order it online. Now I can't wait to wear my every-day-Alien-alike pretty nice Ungaro tresure. I didn't knew about new formula so I keep my fingers crossed to be lucky enough to have authentic Mr Kurkdjian's creation...

I ADORE this perfume sooooo much!! For you that do not know this one, it is like Viva la Juicy only twice the strength! So if you like Viva and wouldn't mind it to be a BIT stronger, you will love this perfume!
