Signoricci

*Reformulated version review* Reading the list of notes above, I wish I had THAT version! I received a sample of the "new" version in a blind sample swap with another member here, and though it is NOT the elegant and rich 1965 version of Signoricci, it is otherwise still quite nice! The opening is lemons, lemons, lemons with a squeeze of bergamot and some petit grain. I detect no galbanum, though it does become green and powdery later on. Scents with galbanum tend to be LOUD with that note, and I detect none of that here, just clean, fresh citrus, slightly sweet lemons and (maybe) a twist of lime. As the top fades, I get dry florals and sheer green with some sunny citricity remaining. I doubt that rose was added to the new one, at all. Do not mistake my observations for complaints, I am glad to have this scent. It is crisp and gentlemanly, and quite fine as far as aromatic greens go. I wish it was a bit louder and more complex, but I must say I liked it before I even knew WHAT it was...and that says it all. The drydown is warm, powdery, earthy and vaguely musky (in other words NO CIVET). Vetiver, moss? Yes, more cedar and amber than labdanum or tonka. Overall, still very nice. Having never smelled the original, I cannot say one way or another if this is better or worse...just quite nice. Sillage: decent Longevity: good Overall: 3.25/5 As society's definition of masculinity changes, so does the general feeling of a masculine fragrance. Anymore, they are all clean and vaguely warm, with hints of flowers, maybe some spices and nothing too too musky (read: "risque"). Give me a gorgeous man stench...dripping with oakmoss and civet. Throw in all the flowers you want! A man should smell like a MAN...not some just bathed and powdered boy! Men are all different and everybody has their opinions. Mine: I think if Signoricci Sr. ever caught a whiff of his "boy" he would lower his head and keep walking...

what a great citric fragance, so warm, mediterranean and innocent smelling but powerful enough, got two different bottles of this being the other one much more beautiful than the one showed here, big pity this great morning scent isnt available anymore, a feels good one, will save my two bottles as real treasures

Signoricci was simply a miracle, a chef-d'oeuvre. It was one of my "grands amours" in the 80's. Please write petitions, make demonstrations and call your senators ; pressure Nina Ricci : this perfume has to be marketed once again. Not reformulated, please, just re-marketed.

Have an original Signoricci. What can I say. If you like these types of scents, like I do, this is like the holy grail of classic man ́s scents. I would like to compare it with the vintage Monsieur Givenchy, but I like this one even more.

we must put the pressure on Nina Ricci! this perfume has to be marketed once again! Not reformulated, please, just re-marketed the original!!!!!!
