Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo Casual Life

Veeeeery pleasant, "Crowd pleasing" fragrance! I honestly do not get much of the Coffe note at all, although Im sure that it really adds to the uniqueness and warmth in the background. Although it was nice, at first Casual Life felt somewhat "Generic" smelling, but as it began to dry down its a really nice fragrance which becomes much more "Unique" the longer its on ya. I do wish that the coffe note stood out a bit more and think itd be even more interesting if it did, but its still a really great fragrance. Its pretty sweet but NOT in a gourmand way. I dunno if tbis is a good Summer frag bc of that sweetness, but Spring would be the perfect time to wear it. Its nothing "Mind blowing", but I really like it. I have a small 5ml mini I got to tey it out, and it just isn't unique enough for me to grab a full bottle ONLY bc I own over 100 fragrances and it would be a bit redundant to something else I own so I wont be grabbing a full bottle, BUT if you're not a PHSYCO like me and have a smaller collection and are tired of the typical "Blue Feeshies" that've over-saturated the market these days, then this would be a great, somewhat unique "Freshie" and I highly recommend it! 8 outta 10 fragrance (VERY NICE) and with good/decent performance! Thanks for taking the time to whomever read my review!😉

So, after wearing this one for a while, this one gives me a bit of a Coty Aspen vibe, but way higher quality and depth. This gives that wonderful Coffee, Violet, Lemon, Cedarwood vibe. However, after that sits in, and your nose gets accustomed to it, you then get the Geranium/Cardamom in the mix which seem to give it a bit of a pine/fir accord. Right now being fall, it works perfectly in the 65-75°F range. I've always been a huge fan of Aspen since I was about 13, (I'm 38 now, so a long time). However, as an adult, now that my nose has matured as well, Aspen has become a bit watered down & synthetic. So, now that this exists in my life and I've put it through its paces, I've come to realize this is the Aspen for me to wear as an adult. Which really appeals to me, as it brings sentimental & nostalgia value. If you find it at a discount store, I absolutely recommend you give it a shot. Longevity is about 6-7 hours for me, which is good enough for me, as I generally like to wear a 2nd fragrance for the evening. So, all in all, this will be a cologne I will try to always own a back up bottle in my collection.

The coffee note in this fragrance is reminiscent of the original Uomo and the signature flanker, not as intense though. It has a little bit of everything; it's fresh, clean, the violet is there, the lemon, and even the cardamom. Develops to a really musky scent. If you like the original uomo, I'd say don't buy this, just go for the original uomo and spray lighter. Doesn't smell bad at all to me, just a safe clean scent, what it doesn't have however is performance. I think it's gone in 3 hrs max, at least on my skin. Projection is fine for one hour. If you're looking for an edc that doesn't project crazy, for summer, consider this. Despite it being an edt(5-15% concentration), I think it's closer to an edc(5% concentration max). I'm an addict to this line hence why I have three of them. Is it worth the low price tag? For me, yes. Blind buy worthy if you like the original uomo and want something really light for summer. Keep the bottle with you and reapply, it's really cheap.

★★★ (3/ 5 stars) - could be unisex Factor in recent price drops, versatility, and performance and this jumps to 4 out of 5 stars. One of my favorite recent acquisitions. For violet leaf lovers. Sweet, musky, violet leaf lovers. I feel that Casual Life shares more in common with Burberry Touch than Invictus / or Invictus aqua. Perhaps a dash of Zara 7.0. This fragrance is powdery, ozonic, and my bottle is heavy on the violet leaf. Remove the pepper of Burberry Touch and add some sweetness of the original Ferragamo Uomo.... Plus a dash of freshness for summer wearings... And you have Casual Life. I only wish the coffee notes came through more. For a fresh fragrance I'm getting above average performance. My last few wearings are topping 7 hours. More than enough for a work day. Youtubers are giving it high marks and I am getting lots of compliments while wearing it. Might be backup bottle worthy to me.

Lovely scent. I agree with some here saying that it's linear and to my nose indeed it is. The opening is energetic kinda aquatic and citrusy with a touch of floral- herbal notes maybe due to violet and geranium. I don't get the coffee here, maybe some spicy sweetness at the drydown because of cedar. All in all it's better for spring/summer due to the freshness of it, both day and night. It might be a bit generic but it's a really pleasant scent. Compared with original Uomo they go on different sides, no similarities to me. Projection and sillage are decent
