Unica

I love this one.... This is one of the best summer perfumes that I own. It really does smell like Thalasso Therapy by Tesori d' Oriente and it also smell like Fiore dell Onda by L'erbolario. Main difference is that this one is a little bit sweeter... I couldn't get that's Ice cream pistachio note in the opening, but after more than an hour that ice cream creamyness popped out and it was so lovely. This is for summer only to my taste... I can't imagine wearing it in the winter.... Maybe I should try it, but it's way too beachy, creamy, sunny and summery.... I love it's saltiness... I love salty perfumes overall..... First I got the smallest bottle and then I bought the biggest one 🤣... That's how much I love it.... This one lasts through my whole working hours without reapplying..... It's very long lasting.... The name of this perfume is just perfect for it.... 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Unica is a perfect spring/summer scent. It's not tropical and it doesn't remind me of a summer creams or sunscreens. Imagine yourself sitting on the rocks at the beach while you eat pistachio vanilla ice cream while whiffs of sweet mandarin and jasmine come to you. It is soft and well blended. Sweet without being cloying, just perfect. Longevity is around 8 hours with moderate projection. Very similar to Juliette Has A Gun- Vanilla Vibes but more smooth and elegant with added sweetness. There is something sharp and artificial in JHAG and Unica did it better. Love it!

I 100% agree with all the other reviewers, this perfume screams summer and the pistachio+ice cream notes are very discreet. It's one of those perfumes that made me go 'ooooh yeah that's good' from the first spray. It's gourmand-ish yet it would not smell out of place in a corporate meeting for example. Lasting power is great, 3 sprays this morning are still smelling quite strong on fabric 12 hours later.

Found out that this is better as a winter scent, cause in the summer it can get too cloying. And the longevity on this is better in winter time also. It smells like powdery vanilla ice cream. 🍦

I've been trying Unica out for about a week now and I have to say It's a very potent salty vanilla. I personally love both the opening and the dry down. Both are a fresh and salty vanilla with some slightly laconic, pistachio undertones. The opening is a bit sharper than the warmer dry down. In between though, there's something not so pleasant about this fragrance, in my opinion. Something sharp. Maybe it's the black pepper mixing with the vanilla? Luckily that stage of the fragrance doesn't last very long. Half an hour at most. Anyway, I mostly get salt, vanilla and pistachio. Maybe some heliotrope as well. The lasting power on me is great. Like 8-9 hours. I even took a shower, and could still feel the scent faintly lingering on my skin. I like the color and design of the bottle, but the cap feels slightly flimsy and cheap. Hollow plastic. I guess I shouldn't be complaining, since this fragrance is on the cheaper side. However it would still be nice with a sturdy metal cap, in my opinion.

The most prominent notes are sea salt and ambroxan. Right from the start, it gives a fresh, clean impression that reminds me of the ocean, a quiet beach, and a sunny day. I think it's a great fragrance for summer. The ambroxan adds that characteristic clean-skin scent with a subtle salty touch, similar to the smell of skin after spending time by the sea. Overall, the fragrance has a fresh, marine, and clean profile. The projection ranges from moderate to intimate, depending on how many sprays you apply. In my experience, it lasts around 7 hours on clothing, where it also projects a bit better than it does on skin. If you enjoy fragrances with airy, aquatic, and salty marine notes, this is definitely worth trying.

"This scent is truly one of a kind. If you're drawn to the allure of a bold salty note, you'll find it here, crisp, unmistakable, and unforgettable. It blands beautifully with Olympea or its many enchanting versions by Paco Rabanne, and dances in harmony too with Olivia by Maison Alhambra. A perfect companion for spring and summer days, it lingers with elegance, and even more beautifully on fabric. Though unisex at heart, it leans leans toward the feminine. The blend of salt, ambroxan, and vanilla creates a signature that feels like sun-kissed skin after a day by the sea, soft, warm, and entirely unique.

I blind bought this and have to confess: I can’t smell salt. Does salt have a smell? Are we all fooling ourselves? Anyway, what I do smell here is creamy vanilla and heliotrope. I don’t get pistachio, which I’m pleased about because it’s a note I dislike. It doesn’t remind me of the sea or a marine setting. For me, it’s fresh comfort. The scent evolves through the hours. I get good performance. I’ve been surprised by this perfume - it’s not my usual taste but I really like it! Easy to pick up and spray, especially in springtime.

It’s summer in a bottle for me. Very easy to wear daily, not too strong or heavy. It’s delicate and balanced. Not addicting or head turning but sure gives me that free spirited summer vibe when I spray it on. It’s a summer weekday mood booster fragrance for me.

It smells like vanilla ice cream. It is really nice, gives you a calming summer feel. It is not unique but it’s pleasant.

Nice but i feel mostly salt. Vanilla is too weak, there is no ice cream and no pistachcio. Salty-white flower-ozonic.

After reading online that it is the best summer fragrance - I gave it a shot. Tested it on a hot summer day. It's nice. However, on my skin, I only smell the sharp salty note. I don't detect any notes of pistachio, ice cream or vanilla. No sweetness whatsoever. Longevity is decent. It reminded me a lot of Thalassos Therapy - Tesori d'Oriente. Same kind of syntheticy salty note.

Well this turned out to be a mess on me. The opening was so beautiful with those salty notes and a touch of florals. Then everything went wrong. Some sort of depressingly sour vanilla blend took over and about three hours later all I could feel was a thick cloying sweet and sour hot mess. So much wasted potential.

Smells to me somewhat like styrax. Yet another CK reveal: vanilla and salty wood giving that marine-sunscreen vibe to it. I do like the scent but I am disappointed with its “uniqueness”.

I can detect only nuts and vanilla... That's all...

totally reminds me of guerlains bosca vanilla

I can see what the appeal is with this one. It's uncomplicated, salty floral, reminds me very much of Fiore dell'Onda by L'Erbolario. However, both of these have something nauseating and offensive to my nose. I cannot detect any pistachio or other notes listed here. I just couldnt wait to rub it off.

It’s light and clean, yeah... but sometimes it ends up feeling almost like a body mist rather than a real perfume pleasant, but not memorable. If you’re hoping for a scent that turns heads or gives personality, this one might feel a bit too safe or plain🤷🏻♀️

Unica is really unica – at least within the Furla's range of otherwise rather uninspiring, generic florals. Nathalie Lorson crafted a surprisingly contrasted summer freshie with a creamy vanilla and a slight gourmand leaning, quite acceptable even to those not very inclined to this modern trend. The sweetness and creaminess are well-balanced with salty and spicy notes. Whenever I smell it, it's an olfactory visit to an imaginary thalasso spa: there is something very relaxing and soothing about it, but at the same time invigorating (admittedly, a hefty dose of ambroxan is contributing to this effect). It does have a slight sun lotion vibe, but manages to be refreshing as well, particularly during the first hour or two. Projection and longevity (cca. 6h) are moderate. However, there is some quality issue with this fragrance, because after a while it does deteriorate (in the bottle) and you're mostly left with pepper, salt and vanilla (approx. within a year, it never happened with any other I own(ed)). True, this is a very “seasonal“ fragrance, but nonetheless it should be made to last a bit longer. If still interested, it would make sense to buy a smaller (30 or 50 ml) bottle, although the 30 ml has a rather simplified bottle (no handbag cover made of frosted glass and no “button“ with Furla logo). I like the bottle, the evocative blue color and the simple elegance of it, although choosing a metallic cap over plastic would have been nicer. But maybe Unica proved to be just too bold for their usual suspects... So, 2 years down the road there comes Pura...

Sharp black pepper in the opening? Nope, the sillage might have been too thin then for that to be noticeable.. Salt? Vanilla? Neither. What do I get? Creamy bitter almond, not much gourmand sweetness. Longevity might be good, but it seems to be too thin to be much noticable.

It’s interesting, but not for me. Salty sea notes dominate. I was hoping for vanilla Icecream and grilled pistachios - gelato type of perfume. This is more aquatic than gourmand. Dina_France (YouTube perfume reviews)

Absolutely divine! Perfect summer beach scent and long lasting!
