Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo Signature

Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature Men EDP opens with a moderate projection of very sweet, citrus, spices, and gourmand notes. The opening is aromatic, intense, delicious, and very pleasant. The grapefruit and mandarin are the citrus notes, the overall sweetness of the fragrance makes the mandarin more prominent than the grapefruit; the pink pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon add a nice sweet-spicy touch; the coffee and leather go well together and both add some depth to the fragrance; the tonka bean is a prominent note, sweet, vanilla-like, and spicy; the coffee is also a noticeable note, blond aromatic coffee; the coffee and the tonka bean mix their notes creating a great delectable accord. The leather is the projecting note, it is well balanced with the tonka and coffee, without overpowering them, at least initially. The leather note found int this fragrance is a soft aromatic white leather. Finally, the patchouli and cypress are support notes, just a faint green, and woody touch. The fragrance is linear, most of the opening notes continue into the dry-down, the only noticeable change is the leather, that as time passes and other notes start to dissipate, the leather seems to maintain its intensity becoming the primary note. Once Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature Men EDP has its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, sweet, white leather, coffee, and tonka fragrance with soft spicy and woody accords. The fragrance feels aromatic, comforting, delectable, exotic, gourmand, intense, inviting, leathery, masculine, mature, modern, nicely-blended, playful, relaxing, rich, sweet, syrupy, warm, slightly woody, and very pleasant.

A HAPPY SCENT NOT FOR A BITTER MAN Well, maybe not any "uomo" (man), but for a particular kind of man. In Italian, the word "uomo" solely employed, stands for a virile man, "un vero maschio alle spalle larghe e gambe muscolose". And the signature of a "uomo" must not leave any doubts about the man's character as a true son of Adam and a true ladies' favourite by nature. In summary, a devoted lover, smelling like dark woods, rough seas, and all that can recall courage and passion. This aromatic all-black Ferragamo Uomo Signature brings us warm spices, leather, coffee, fresh citrus and a balsamic aura that adds a sense of knowledge of life and experience to the previously characterized wearer of this perfume. With such a simple but powerful name, an elegant black bottle and a scent that justifies all that could be assumed by its presentation, Ferragamo Uomo Signature imposes itself as a "must-have" for men and a magnet to attract women's attention. In the opening, we experience an uplifting floral citrus with honeyed mandarin and rosy pink pepper. It's a smooth sweet entrance that readily accommodates the masculine cedar the dominant sensuous cinnamon bitter sweetness and the sweet and resinous cardamom. This masculine but sweet, exciting but smooth hors d'oeuvres setting opens wide the doors for the tonka bean's heavy bittersweetness, very well blended with dark roasted coffee, lightly smoked hide and earthy patchouli. It's a more interesting and less sweet fragrance than the original Uomo, and I don't know which perfume is really flanking the other. There is a slight resemblance with another Uomo, the Valentino Intense version, but just if you manage to forget the absent powderiness of a lipstick iris.I also got a vibe of Layton, probably due to the mandarine note, the overall sweetness and the green cardamom note. The fragrance is halfway from a true pyramid development and a linear global scent. It's easy to distinguish the opening notes from the bottom notes, but the heart notes seem to be blended with all the other notes. The drydown is pleasant with a sweet pace ensured by cinnamon and tonka as well as the seductive leather and to a lesser degree, the roasted coffee. The performance is interesting but not overwhelming. Main characteristic? It's a women's head-turner! How can we rate this Uomo Signature? ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Scent opening: 8.75 (going from smart casual...) - Scent Dry Down: 9.25 (... to a very nice casual chic) - Longevity: 8.0 (Up to 8 hours with 3 sprays) - Sillage: 8.0 (up to 6 ft sillage and 2.0 h projection with 3 sprays) - Versatility: 8.5 (above average but not really for the Summer) - Usability: 8.0 (Everywhere except hot indoors & outdoors) - Compliments: 9.0 (Attracts a lot of compliments, specifically from the ladies) - Uniqueness: 8.5 (This fragrance is almost unique if you forget the original Uomo. I got some vibes of Valentino Uomo - Intense and P.M. Layton as well) - Quality: 9.0 (quite high for a midrange designer fragrance) - Presentation: 8.5 (a matter of opinion, but very nice and manly in my opinion) - Price: 7.0 (€37 for 100 ml non tester + taxes; It will be more discounted in the future) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Average: 8.40/10.0 between 7 and 8 => above average; between 8 and 9 => recommended; equal or bigger than 9 => don't miss it; Opinion about Uomo Signature: Very well balanced between spiciness and sweetness. It's a natural compliment-getter, easily satisfying even very demanding wearers. If you like a very good hot spicy sweet fragrance with very interesting coffee and leather facets, you may have found one of the best. If you loved the previous Ferragamo Uomo, you may love this one even more. Recommended? Yes. Blind buy worthy? No! Try it first. Music: Freddie Mercury - "The Great Pretender"

9.5/10 Fragrance. Sweet and fresh leather with a sharp toasted but subtle coffee bean scent. 10+ hours in longevity, unique scent profile, versatile and great value for money. Not what I expected but somehow turned out even better than my high expectations. The opening on this fragrance is whatever, inoffensive and pleasant but very forgettable. But none of that matters because the dry down on this fragrance more than makes up for the boring opening. It is nothing short of intoxicating and is rapidly becoming one of, if not my favorite fragrance. I purchased Uomo Signature expecting a gourmand fragrance with a prominent coffee forward scent, but there's a freshness to this fragrance that steers it away from the typical date night gourmand scent and makes it suitable for an everyday wear, excluding the warmer days of course. The first time I wore Uomo Signature I was actually disappointed because it wasn't what I expected and I could not identify the coffee note which was the entire reason I wanted this fragrance. The second time wearing I completely forgot about trying to identify the coffee note and became obsessed with the sweet leather dry down. Now.. i'm not exactly a coffee man, don't drink coffee, don't spend much time in cafe's, don't really like coffee flavored food. So take what I say with a grain of salt. If coffee wasn't an official note, I would have never guessed in a million years that it was present in this fragrance. I'm sure the more coffee acquainted folks have an easier time indentifying the coffee note but that's not me. It was the third time wearing this fragrance when I became aware of the coffee note. I was enjoying the sweet and fresh leather when all of a sudden I was now getting this abrupt deviation from the sweet leather, it was this roasted nutty smell that just reveals itself for a millisecond at the end of your inhale as the sweet leather gets pushed aside. I tend to go noseblind to most of my fragrances but not this one. And I think it's that sudden change in contrast from a sweet and fresh leather to this dark roasted coffee that acts as almost like a reset button on every inhale for your sense of smell, so you are constantly bombarded with this soft and light sweetness into this sharp nuttyness over and over again. If that sounds like a headache to you then stay clear. And as much as I Iove this fragrance, i've had a few experiences where it was just too much, too intense and just too distracting. With all that being said, this is a masterful fragrance. Love this stuff.

I recently bought Ferragamo Uomo Signature and Polo Red Extreme within a week of each other. I didn't own any "sweet" men's fragrances and these two were reviewed as compliment magnets. I was fairly biased from the start against sweet smelling juice but I figured I'd give it a chance. Well, the Polo Red Extreme showed up first lived down to my expectations. All I smell is sugar, sickening nauseating sweetness. It's horrible. What makes it even worse is almost beast mode performance. It's supposed to have coffee notes. All I smell is that nasty sweetness. So the Uonmo Signature showed up a few days later. I was prepared for the same nauseating smell even though people say this is tamed down vs the original Uomo. Man was I wrong. This stuff is gorgeous from the first moment. It is sweet but it's not over done. I can definitely smell coffee, leather, spices, and patchouli. Uomo signature is a "sweet" fragrance for grown men in a suit. Sweet smelling fragrances are still not my thing generally but this is extremely well done. That's especially true when you consider the price. I paid $32 at a discounter. I can actually believe the comments that Uomo Signature is a compliment magnet with the ladies. I think it's masculine but something women would really find attractive on a guy. This is a keeper for me and something I would buy again. So one out of two ain't bad. I'll take one strike and one home run. Edit 12/24/2021: I thought I'd revisit my review in light of the fact that the game has changed regarding Ferragamo Uomo Signature. When I originally bought my 100 ml bottle for $32.75 back in 2019, this was a stone cold bargain at discounters. Now, either because of popularity or Covid related supply chain issues, it is selling for somewhere between $68 and full retail of $93 in the US. At those prices I'm a lot less impressed when an alternative like Halloween Man X is available at $32.49. Halloween Man X is an almost direct replacement as far as I'm concerned. I won't pay 2X-3X for the differences. Buh-bye Ferragamo. You were great while you lasted.

Uomo Signature is a very nice scent, but it didn’t quite live up to the expectations after the hype from past years. I was hoping for more of the darker gourmand notes often mentioned in reviews, but they don’t come through as strongly as I’d like. Coffee I can’t detect at all. I’ll probably let this macerate in the bottle and revisit it during the colder months when this is more suitable—right now, during the summer this is too sweet and strong. Opening: The opening is a mix of everything—citruses make a brief appearance but fade quickly, leaving behind a bubblegum-like sweetness. There are some spices and a faint leather note, but the citrus and other lighter notes disappear quickly, making way for the warm sweetness that defines the fragrance. Mid: In the mid, the fragrance remains warm and sweet but doesn’t lean heavily into the spicy or gourmand territory that I was hoping for. A dark leather note starts to emerge, but it’s neither dominant nor particularly realistic. It adds some depth, but it doesn’t take over the scent profile. Dry Down: As it dries down, the leather note becomes more noticeable and sweeter, without any animalic or dirty undertones. The finish has a sweet, almost gourmand-ish quality, but it’s more subdued than I expected. Performance: Longevity: With 4 sprays, I get 8-10 hours of wear, and I can still detect it on my skin even after 10 hours. Projection: It’s loud for the first hour but begins to settle closer to the skin after that. By the 2-hour mark, it sits quite close, though it still creates a subtle scent bubble. In overall, Uomo Signature is a warm, sweet leather fragrance that’s pleasant but lacks the darker gourmand notes I was looking for. I’ll revisit this in winter and see if the coffee note appears.
