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.

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

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.

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!

Reminds me a whole lot like viva la juicy ...its fruity and creamy ...not bad at all .got as a gift from big sis and would say suits the hot climate Im in and would suggest perfect for day wear .

Ohh this is a good stuff!! Sweet but juicy fresh but sexy woww I am impressed really!! I got some lillas vibe maybe the white flowers and the jasmine I don't know but it's very beautiful

The Perfume is one of my favorites! I have sampled a Fragonard a few years ago with the same sweetness/spicy, original small but I don't remember which one it was. Any clue?

absolutely adorable,utterly young classy funny.little spicy but perfect for summer nights.

Bought this based on reviews. Trust me, this is a really, really appealing, vibrant, summer heat filled fume. I know it seems quirky of me, but I love these full blooded, opulent ones in the heat. In Australia, summer is filled with smell, and flowers, and heat; love it. You know, just a bit of sweat trickling, alive, alive, alive, wearing little and the clothes sticking. Surrounded by heat, and feeling and smelling everything. And it's just that vibe this perfume captures for me.... To my nose, none of this is sickly, just abundant and sensual. Goes on strong (which I love...why wear perfume if it doesn't smell??????), stays strong, and last long with a gentle sweetness. On me, that is mainly jasmine, tinged with amber. Overnight, is lost, but not on my clothes...on them, it just offers little sweet joys for days. I'm wearing it by day, because to me it is the joy of that day heat. For night, I like something with a bit of smoke and depth, but it might work for party time.....

Fantastic, really high quality fragrance. Despite the small number of notes listed above, it does smell fidgety and complex, both sweet and dense and fresh and aereal at the same time. I may find it a bit too sweet, but I love the scent of amber, sweet and a bit cloying the way it is. Ungaro smells to me very eighties and nineties, due to the jasmine and amber sweet density. It is quite strong and staying power is relatively good. The bottle is quite odd and not very easy to spray, but I find it very beautiful, in part due to the golden reflexes like it emits light and so do I find the peach colour of the scent. In my opinion you cannot go wrong with Francis Kurkdjian. Really great. (This review is for the original, peach coloured fragrance).

An impressive fragrance, it clearly stands out from the other fragrances in the line. Fragrance created by the great master Francis Kurkdjian. The opening notes are fruity, acidic, sour, the red berries emerge prevailing, opening the horizon towards a grandiose, unexpected floral triumph. The victorious jasmine rises in the middle notes, corolled by other delicate, soft white floral accords. The olfactory evolution over time brings out very sensual amber notes, immersed in an interesting spicy combination with the saffron flower, clear, clear, unequivocal iconic signature, of the great creator Francis Kurkdjian.

The beginning is hot fruity-berry, then it calms into exquisite sweet jasmine. The projection is incredible, and the battery life is at least 8-9 hours. Overall, it's a very nice and playful smell. This is a creamy, fruity, flowery gourmand. Both the silage and the longevity are excellent. The combination of red berries, vanilla, and amber smells delicious. This is both simple and beautiful. This is also cheerful and extroverted, making it appropriate for going out. Elegance at its finest!

Purple bottle with Pink box with lips: This was a blind buy for me after listening to a review from a very trustworthy source. Very nice, this smells like a mix of Couture Couture by Juicy Couture and Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier. So nice, I would say this is daytime sexy, not night time sultry, even though it can be used that way as well. This is honeyed, syrupy goodness. It is warm and has an element of sass or flirt, like a playful wink 😉 ya know?

I am surprised by this fragrance, so passionate, more floral-oriental to me, reminded me of Edt Alien and even a bit on Boss Intense by Hugo Boss. Smells like blueberries nectar with sweet and sour cherries, so sweet as the finest dessert, not a cheap ordinary cookie. And definitely not just another cute girl's fragrance, I like. Very feminine and a little spicy, such as Spellbound by Estee, just a perfect match.

Ungaro 2007 is a daring, modern fruity-white floral. It definitely won't leave you indifferent. Sweet, seductive white flowers (mostly jasmine) + fruity accord - I personally detect something close to pineapple. Vanillic amber in the drydown is delicious... Simple but so appealing! Saffron gives it a sensation of dust and a bit of rubbery feeling, which I'm not sure of liking. Still on the fence with this one.

I have version Ungaro, purple package with black lips. Ungaro pour femme edp. Its written its about modern jasmine for libertine woman. This is truly funny, uplifting jasmine fruity ambra frag. Naturally sweet, funky feminine, but also kinda sexy. Its easy to wear, even for a very young women. I agree its bubble gumy, especially at first spray, and the drydown is more like Gabriella Sabatini.

This is pretty heavy on me. It's very floral and warm. When I first got it I made the mistake of trying it before the gym. Usually scents don't last on me so I thought it wouldn't last but this one sure does. As I was working out on the bike it really projected, I hope I didn't offend the others next to me. It does smell nice. I would recommend it if you like white florals.

A beautiful scent, but gone within 1 hour, thats bad. Not worth the money. I like the Saffron note in this scent. En jättefin doft, men borta inom en timme och det är dåligt. Inte värt pengarna. Jag gillar Saffran-noten i denna doften.

Ungaro 2007 is more floral oriental than oriental spicy. Amber and big white floral bouquet combination makes sweet,bubble-gum like fragrance. This is also happy and extroverted so suitable for going out.

Another good one! Only moderate iasting power or strength but what a nice dry down with the amber and saffron Interesting fun bottle. Definitely a keeper

Fragrantica should add the flanker Ungaro Pink edp, recently released. It smells divine. As for me, the best Ungaro fragrance, after Diva.

Like Mmizy, I'm not a big fan of this perfume. I bought it blind over the internet and was expecting it to smell different to how it does actually smell! It's quite a "dense" perfume, definitely not light or fresh, and is quite spicy and strong at first. When I first tried it I really found it almost repellent and couldn't wait to wash it off, but the second time I tried it I thought it smelled a lot better and I actually found it to be relatively nice, although still not the kind of perfume I'm drawn to. Although it's quite strong, and a bit overpowering, at first it softens and mellows after it's been on the skin awhile. For me, this is one of those perfumes where it's very hard to make out what any individual notes are, although I smell spices and maybe the amber is what gives this perfume it's warmth and good sillage. On me, it almost smells slightly chocolatey, although I don't see chocolate mentioned as one of the notes here, and also I think I smell violet which, again, is not listed in the perfume notes here! Overall, this is quite a nice perfume but just not right for me. It has very good staying power and lasts all day. I think it could be worn for night or day, although personally I think it'd be a little heavy for office wear and might annoy some people! It'd be sexy for night though because of its warmth and spiciness!

A poor girl's Alien sans vanilla; a fragrance I can do without as much as this one. Bad, bad blind order. I thought I was getting Emanuel Ungaro - Ungaro (reformulated). Some of that is my fault for not being appropriately informed, not knowing the correct bottle. This is just another yawnfully boring, common fruity floral and I am so disappointed. It's not horrible, just entirely generic and already done a billion times over. I am so unimpressed I cannot wait to resell or give it away. I feel gloomy. At least I know the one I need to purchase now and hope that will not disappoint as badly as this one. Ugh... :(

I don't like this one. With my chemistry it is all muddled and I can't make out the notes. Its warm but all I get is the saffron I believe. I feel like I just opened up a jar of nutmeg and put my nose in it. I put it on my hand and i felt like I needed a shower. Not for me thank goodness I only got a mini.

I had to give it to my DD , sadly on me it was cloyingly sweet and spicy and just unbathed scent. but on my 23 y/o doughter it was a blooming floral, so i guess it's a chemistry thing. i have to mention the bottle is very bulky and uncomfortable to hold.

Blind buy which I regret. Too floral, too sweet. Reminds me of Calvin Klein Eternity moment.Nothing oriental on me, sorry. Decent sillage, but not my cup pf tea.I'll give it another try in hot summer, maybe....who knows?

To start off, I'm sorry that this isn't a review but I'm trying to find the original formula of this rather desperately, but I didn't get any replies when I posted this on the forum. Hopefully someone who owns a bottle will read this. I know that the original has a peachy-coloured liquid and a completely different version has a purple one. I also know that many online retailers use pictures of both versions interchangeably, therefore, most of the time you simply don't know which one you're really buying. So the main question is: is there any other info on how to tell them apart? Does anyone have the EAN codes, photos of the boxes they come in, ANYTHING other than the colour of the juice that I could ask sellers about before buying? Or maybe someone ordered one not long ago and received the peachy formula (in which case I'd love to know where you bought it from)? Lately I became a little obsessed with acquiring a bottle of this so any tips would be much appreciated!

Berries are the first thing I smell when I spray this on, but it doesn't become fruity or candy-like (thank God for the latter!) The mellowed berries stay in the bouquet and are very quickly accompanied by the white flowers (to my nose it's a generous, yet just right amount of white florals.) Then amber -and a peppery spicy something- rounds it off in the dry down. The silage depends on how many sprays you use. A spray or two between your skin and shirt will give great silage. Longevity is also great: 5-8 hours. It doesn't smell oriental to me, rather a bit floriental with an amazing red berry note for those who normally wouldn't like berries. This is a very happy, sexy scent. It shouts "smell me! I am fun." Great as a summer day scent and an informal evening scent. Or whenever you like, because it smells so darn yummy!

I have both the original peachy-colored version, and the reformulated version. No doubt the original version is richer, more complex, and more mellow. But I don't hate the reformulation as much as some reviewers do. I find that after it's been on my skin for a while, it settles down into an echo of the original, just not as well-rounded or complex. I'm in a constant state of mourning over my original bottle, by the way: I found the unboxed bottle on a now-defunct perfume site. It arrived to me not only lacking a box, which I expected, but also lacking the upper part of the spraying mechanism, so the juice is slowly evaporating out of the bottle; and it's very difficult to manage to get enough juice out to wear. Sad, especially since it's going to be difficult to replace.

Just like to say yeah sure blind buying can be fun but in my opinion its only recommended when done on a scent that is either cheap or something that should be expensive and is at avery good price otherwise it can be very dissapointing spendinding £10 and not liking something not too bad but dropping £80 blindly and hating the product can feel like being bitten on the ass by a rather angry bob cat. Also at least look at the top of the reviews to see what the scent is simalar to as the notes can be similar but mix differently and smell nothing like a scent with similar notes. Hope this saves some of you some cash as they say it don't grow on trees.

A luck-out blind purchase. Has elements from two of my faves, Poison and Alien. I'm tempted to buy Ungaro Love Kiss, if I only knew what it smelled similar to. Update: This is really a joining of Viva Juicy Couture with Armani Code. It is a fruity fragrance. I finally found Ungaro Love Kiss as well, and found it very young, floral and sharp. It is like new Ralph Lauren Midnight Romance. Ungaro is not a terribly complex fragrance. It just perks my mood and has a grain of similarity to my beloved vintage Estée Lauder Beautiful. P.S. My Ungaro 2007 (I assume) fluid is purple. My Ungaro Kiss us a pale pink violet.

I'll never learn - I keep blind buying based on reviews and my expectations are crushed when I finally smell the fragrance - this is no exception. Where's the warm spicy note? Where's the sultry amber? Animalic? Maybe muskrat. Fruity? Maybe dried prunes. This perfume stinks - literally. Now I have to hide another yucky blind buy from my husband - this goes right next to my newly acquired Victoria Secret Mood fig (which was figless and put me in a bad mood). Somebody please recommend a winner before I go broke!

I see that people say that smells like alien and I m about to never believe some reviews again! I hate alien as anything in this earth! Heavy in an unpleasant way it gives me headache at first sniff! This one is diamond, fresh, clean, kinda sexy, sweet, fruity, flowery oh!!! really love it for every day, for work, after shower! It is not the typical sexy or sensual perfume but I get compliments every time!

I just bought it today, as I never seen it on shelfs before.It smells sweet, then transfer to bitter sweet, then bouncing somehwat smokey, and very ususual smell, compare to all those mass-market perfume, that smells sweet , but annoying.I sprayed just a bit in the afternoon,and now it sill smells softly, after settled for the time. This perfume would be good for a disco club or evening walk.Good!
