Ferrari Uomo

I'm honestly disappointed this scent is receiving such a contrast in comments. Either it's incredible, or it's trash. Somehow the "incredible" comments are mostly in detail, well written, and have some semblance of thought behind them. The "trash" comments are vague and don't seem to have any real substance behind the claims. How suspect. Then again, I always need to remind myself this is fragrantica. Regardless of how amazing a scent smells, if users on here don't like the perfumer, or the brand, or whether it's a knockoff (it's not), then they'll say it's nothing special. Thankfully, this fragrance is dirt cheap and Youtube reviewers seem to paint this is a very different light. I decided to spend the less than $20 and blind buy this juice. Let me open by saying the bottle is stunning. The cap is metal, very heavy, and has leather on it. Honestly it's one of the nicest caps I've seen on a fragrance and puts niche bottles to shame. The bottle itself is heavy glass and quality. Presentation looks WAY more expensive than this thing costs. Gorgeous, heavy bottle with stunning quality heavy cap. So, what's this smell like? Fresh, creamy, quality leather. A surprisingly subtle approach to a leather scent that makes this very easy to wear compared to something like Fahrenheit or Tuscan Leather. I can see this being worn even in summer, it's that fresh of an approach which in itself makes this one standout from all those cold weather leather heavy hitters than are hard to wear. This is a well done scent that is now one of my best blind buys ever. I spent $17 on this. $17. Does this smell like a $17 scent? Not even close. I can see people paying $100 for this if a popular designer bottled this. Opens spicy and slightly synthetic, but give it a little bit and it becomes divine. This is a subtle, light leather with an incredible, creamy drydown. Honestly the drydown is what makes this go from like to love for me. This is so easy to wear, projects for at least 2 hours on my skin, and lasts upwards of 6. Spicy, citrussy, classy leather. This leather is so light, so airy, and so gorgeous that you can wear this in just about any occasion. The nutmeg mixed with the citrus and leather is just divine. This is not a sharp citrus, or a bitter one, it's smooth and fresh. This is not a heavy scent. This is no loud scent that will clear a room. This is a comfortable, soft scent. I also think this is a fantastic night time out scent. This paints a lovely picture of a drive on the highway at the dead of night, watching the lights go by as you slowly cruise along, listening to some slow, nostalgic music with a special other. Honestly I can't get enough of this. So, what's the deal with these reviews? I can understand people just not liking the scent. But the talks about quality, or knockoffs of Fahrenheit, or longevity and what have you are ridiculous. I can almost guarantee you that if Dior packaged this as a Fahrenheit Fraiche flanker, or Tom Ford marketed this as a ridiculously priced Eau D'Tuscan Leather or something, people would be singing a chorus of praises. Simply, people turn up their snobby noses to this gorgeous scent because it's a car brand. Yet it's almost like they've forgotten what a hit Bentley's Intense was. Or perhaps they were hating on that one too, despite it being niche quality and smell at affordable prices. If there's anything to take away from this, it's that you can't really trust a lot of negative reviews on this site. Nor can you trust a lot of positive reviews for big name brands, as the scents tend to be mediocre despite the price tag. At the end of the day, I suppose you should always try before you buy, when you can. But at this price, I wouldn't hesitate to go in blind. Mr. Morillas took low quality ingredients and made it smell amazing. Scent: 6/10 opening, 8.5/10 drydown.

Imagine you're driving a Ferrari along the coast of Sicily and the blistering heat on the road creates a mirage effect over the road. A subtle whiff of fuel exhaust and fresh lemons clash and suddenly you embody the heat waves, you are in the heat waves, yet the cool ocean breeze is constantly calming the incandescent experience. This is Ferrari Uomo. This is a masterpiece. This is not a beast mode scent, but it is a magnificent scent. This is somewhat linear and the entire experience seems like you're riding the heart of the fragrance the whole time, and boy is it lovely. You want to stay in that sweet spot for as long as possible. Alberto Morillas killed it. UPDATE: The dry down is to die for, its coming off to me like a honey leather.. Just when you think this fragrance is at it's peak you realize that the very end might just be the most beautiful scent of the whole experience.. frickin fantastic subtle and sweet honey.. is that honey hidden in there? or beeswax? Whatever is doing this is pure genius. UPDATE 2: I decided to rock 10 sprays today to test and I'm nuclear 2 hours into it, I don't know what's wrong with the guy above, I've filled an entire warehouse with scent and I've got 4 compliments within 2 hours this morning using this. I feel embarrassed wearing so much as I sit here typing, I'm waiting it for it to tame down a bit, and I'm kind of avoiding people to not be "that guy". Oddly I feel like I'm about to combust. I feel like fumes are coming off of me and they might be flammable. This has a really awesome fuel accord that's similar to Fahrenheit, just a bit smoother and not as red.. this is more orange and yellow in color and feel if I were to describe this as a color. Anyway, I definitely think this has ample strength, I'd go maybe 5-8 sprays every wear which is more than vintage Fahrenheit where you'd do maybe 3 or 4 max. My bottles were $14 bucks each and the scent is amazing. Caveat: Ok 3.5 hours in and 10 sprays things have finally calmed down to one of the best dry downs of my whole collection, it's the dry down that keeps me coming back over and over. My co-workers still smell it, so even though the heavy fumes from the 2 hour mark are gone, I'm still leaving a decent trail I'm told. Maybe I'll ask someone if they smell me at 5 hours and report back. Ok, 5 hours in, 10 sprays, I ask a co-worker in a different part of the warehouse to tell me if he smells me as I walk by, sure as shit he said he definitely smelled it, I walked by again and he smelled it again, same scent, and had him smell it up close and he's like yeah, "when you sprayed earlier, you filled the whole building for a minute." It's been 56 degrees fahrenheit today and I'm in SLC UT, it's been raining all week long.. This stuff cuts and performs I tell ya! It's 1:18PM now. haha Conclusion: This is a fresh scent in the dry down, not a heavy sweet tonka like in some date night/gourmand fragrances. It's a bit transparent and clean after about 3 hours, but it's still pumping.. It's so crisp and refreshing. Starts heavy and turns crispy and refreshing in the dry down. Amazing.

Ferrari Uomo is one of the best cheap blind buys I ever made. It is a floral leather scent that's essentially a distant relative of Dior Fahrenheit. Anyway, if you like Ferrari Uomo, by all means, buy it. It's a good scent that's truly great value for money. Just do it with your eyes open. The fragrance opens with Sicilian lemon, juniper berries and Calabrian bergamot, all of them are from the south of Italy. Although there is plenty of citrus notes, I can barely get them. I was quite surprised to not smell any of the citrus notes throughout its lifespan on my skin. Aromatic juniper stands definitely over them dominating the scene. The heart introduces leather, nutmeg and cedar notes. After the initial 5 minutes, the leather kicks in and that's when this is a beauty. The wood lingers around at the back but the leather is prominent. When I say 'prominent', I don't at all mean it in a bad way. But you have to like leather note in a cologne to like this one. It is raw, wild, like a horse's saddle. It is quite animalic but also creamy and a touch sweet, perhaps both due to the tonka beans. The base is an off-dry patchouli, rich and dark, with sweet and ambery tonka, that is quite pleasant if nothing special, but the long lasting leathery middle is what dominates in this scent. The comparisons with Christian Dior Fahrenheit are reasonable but to me seem exaggerated. Ferrari Uomo lacks the violet and petrol notes and has much more animalic leather. However, in the heart there are some faces that are common in both. Overall, Uomo is a sophisticated/classic fragrance best used for a fall romantic evening at a classy establishment or for a mature gentleman at work or leisure. It's amazing.

I feel Ferrari Uomo is a slept on fragrance. Granted it isn't a long lasting scent compared to what it is a clone of, but I would say it is very much worth the discounted price for it. Ferrari Uomo is basically a mix of the Fahrenheit petrol open with Vince Camuto for Men (the black leather bottle)'s barbershop leather scent. This is everything I wanted Liz Claiborne Curve Black to be and it is even cheaper than that. Go figure that one out. The fragrance has a violet/petrol accord and I say it is an accord since it (violet) isn't a note at all in this fragrance. This dominates the cirtuses and juniper berry to my nose. The mid takes it into a heavy leather direction (perhaps this gives that petrol accord too) with some woods and nutmeg. The base I get a slight tonka and musk but it is still leathery from the mid. Ferrari Uomo is despite the Fahrenheit trademarks of being a fall/winter scent is actually an all year scent. I first wore It in summer and it don't feel all that cloying or overpowering. It works much better as a night scent, but it is actually a good day scent. It does project nearly heavily during the first hour, and pretty moderately during the second hour, before becoming a skin scent. The scent lasts about six hours in total and works in dressed up, work settings or even club settings if you spray it initially. Ferrari Uomo is very much an amazing scent. Online you can get it for the pricing that you can get La Rive Hitfire. Uomo is a love for me. Now if only the cap I had for it was a little better... I rate it an 8.5 out of 10 with the main knock being the longevity compared to Fahrenheit.

Amazing Juice! Blind bought this after reading all these reviews. If you are a leather fan, then there is nothing left to discuss. At $15-$16/100ml, this is probably the best and safest blind buy that anyone can make. I just received it and therefore I can't talk about the longevity. The top notes are mentioned as lemon, bergamot and juniper. But these, on my skin which absorbs colognes very fast, didn't even last 5 minutes. The middle notes listed are leather, nutmeg and cedarwood. After the initial 5 minutes, the leather kicks in and that's when this is a beauty. The wood lingers around at the back but the leather is prominent. When I say 'prominent', I dont at all mean it in a bad way. But you have to like leather note in a cologne to like this one. I still have to wait for the dry down to comment on it. This is one of the best cheap blind buys I ever made. Even if the longevity sucks, I dont care because I'm sure the smell lasts for atleast an hour and a half and the smell is so good that it hardly bothers me that I spent money on this. Edit: on my skin, the base notes are the same as the top notes. Couldn't detect them. Another reason might be, my nose isn't as good as I want it to be ;). Either ways, the scent lasts for about 4-5 hours. The first hour the projection is atleast a feet and then for the remaining 2-4 hours it remains as a skin scent. People have to be in your close quarters to smell it on you. But nevertheless, it still is a good one. I'll be happy to buy another bottle once I run out of the current one.
