Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo

The man @Cubaknow never leads me wrong. He may be the most entertaining fragrance content creator in the game but he has a serious nose. He did a video a while back about underrated bangers that do not get the love or hype they deserve and spoke in glowing terms about UOMO by Ferragamo. I had an opportunity to pick up a box of this on a blind buy for what can only be described as an absolutely ridiculously low price of less than $40 for the 100ml, shave balm and shower gel, and... He was absolutely right, as he always is. This is excellent. It opens with some pink pepper and cardamom against some sweet but not tart bergamot above a woody base, smoothed with Ambroxan and tonka. The vibe is fresher than it sounds, very designer in terms of its DNA, but enchantingly sweet and refined with the woods and fixatives going almost to praline on my skin. Aurelien Guichard and Alberto Morillas worked together on this one a whole ten years ago but it does still feel very current. UOMO is a superb officer wearer and it performs well enough to stay on the skin for a day. It reminds me of one of the more recent Bottle Bottled fragrances but feels better blended and less mass market. The drydown is more about the spices and fixatives as the slightly bitter, dark sandalwood accord comes into its own and it goes less sweet as it dries so it isnt linear and there is enough here to keep me interested. It is really good. It isn't a million miles off BDC L'Exclusif in the way it is sandalwood-heavy against a strong Ambroxan, it has a similar feel. For what I paid for this (relative to BDC L'Exclusif, for example) it is an absolute steal and is more or less a must-buy at that price point if you like a Sandalwood-centric DNA. Three Word Summary - Refined, Classy Sandalwood Layering suggestion - Try Ombre Noire by Lalique as a base layer if we're on the subject of incredibly good and crazily low priced classy office wearers. UOMO will go beautifully over the top. Proper combo. Outfit suggestion - the good dark blue jeans, fitted white shirt tucked in, understated brown belt, navy blue formal jacket, brown suede Chelsea boots, TAG Heuer Seafarer.

THE SWEET ITALIAN DESSERT [short review] The Tiramisu aroma is a complex scent and gives you an overall impression of a mixture of coffee, cocoa and mascarpone cheese. Unquestionably this note marks the DNA of Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo. Depending on your nose it may lean more either to coffee or to cocoa but always with a creamy background. This note is mildly sweet but you can amplify it using spices like pepper, cardamom or tonka beans. Those were the note choices elected by Alberto Morillas for this fragrance. In the background, there is a soft metallic ambery woodiness coming from ambroxan. Helas this note also adds a synthetic feeling to the fragrance blending and evolution. Of course, I would prefer Ambergris, but that would probably double the perfume price in a way that it wouldn't fit Ferragamo's market target for this Uomo line. The opening is characterized by a bold and nice cardamom note, quickly overpowered by the tiramisu heart accord amplified by the ambroxan note. This phase is easily understood as a cappuccino accord or a coffee and cream accord. It's the added sweetness and smoothness of the bottom of the tonka and cashmere notes that makes us maybe think about a dessert aroma. The dry down is a bit more woody but very sweet as well. Performance is above average and strong enough for a long night out. I don't consider it a unique perfume as it presents vibes similar to some spicy sweet fragrances like Code Profumo, Stronger With You and Pure Tonka among others. However, it has a distinct scent, probably a bit more gourmand than the mentioned examples. Ladies like it and so do I. I just pity the heart's slight synthetic ambroxan vibe that vanishes during the drydown. I do recommend it if you like oriental gourmand fragrances. Music: George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord"

Back in 2017, I took home four test strips for "new releases" from the perfume shelf at the store. These were Ferragamo Uomo, Valentino Uomo Intense, Pure XS, and Prada L'Homme. Of course, I carried the test strips separately in my bag for about two hours on a cloudy afternoon, and so by the time I got to the house, the scents had (as I'd imagine) conveniently settled into their heart notes. I took a whiff of all four, and was absolutely blown away by Uomo. I had to be sure about my judgment, and so I tagged my brother, mum, and sister in on it. They all agreed, Uomo was the sexiest smelling, at least on the scent strip—from then on, my love for this gorgeous gourmand fragrance has been unceasing. I totally agree with @SebastianSmellsGreat that if the opening for this fragrance had instead been its heart note, it would probably be up there with some of the sexiest fragrances of all time. Uomo has the most invigorating and exciting opening of any fragrance I have smelled thus far, but the story hardly stops there. The mids are sweet but layered gorgeously with what smells to me as more leathery than coffee. The dry-down for Uomo is remarkable on clothes. I have this trick where I spray all my cold-weather jackets and hoodies with this stuff before hanging them in my cool dark closet. Wearing them like two days later gets my mouth literally watery because they smell like an expensive edible cream...amazing! This is a true masterpiece from nose Morillas and one of the more delightful indoors cold-weather scents when applied sparingly. batch code: 20G78L1 - a July 2016 bottle.

Absolutely ADORE this one. Very powerful opening of Bergamot, slightly synthetic. After a few minutes, it starts morphing into a delicious chocolate/coffee mist and despite not sharing totally similar notes, I do get serious 'La Nuit De L'Homme' vibes. Not sure if that is the bergamot or another note, but after that initial 5-10 minute opening, it really reminds me of that...no bad thing. The longer it sits, the better it gets. It starts getting sweeter, warmer. There is a sweetness here no doubt, but I don't find it too much. After an hour or so, it's just a warm, cosy and inviting mist of dessert and delectability. Diffrent scents again, but after that hour, it reminds me of LIDGE. Simply by how it makes me feel. It has that chocolate note, but there is also a classy richness here that is very addictive. I have heard people describe this fairly casual and unrefined. I don't agree, at all. Once it starts drying down, it becomes incredibly classy and rich to my nose, and I do feel very classy wearing this. Performance is great for an EDT. I applied it to my arm at 2pm and it's still very present at 11pm. In the upper tier of performance as far as designers go and a very present wear at 12 hours or more is likely. I could go on and on about this. It gives me feelings of LIDGE overall which is lovely indeed and shows how much I value this. It is VERY good value for it's scent and performance and as soon as I smelt this, I straight away brought 5 bottles for backup. In a sea of boring citrus and generic scents, this is sheer deliciousness and class in a bottle. Beautiful.

Uomo by Ferragamo is an oddball in my collection of active use scents. It has some limitations but holds its own fair and square. I love bakeries; this partiality could be what makes the difference. Tiramisu happens sometimes, bakery - especially pastry bakery (a really good one with diverse offerings from bear claws to specialty cakes) broadcasts consistently. Sandalwood makes it work all day. The sweet is effectively counterbalanced is such ways that it does work as a general scent for man. Uomo is NOT, 'Too sweet,' which may be my most common reason for avoiding a fragrance. It anchors woody and has enough fresh mixed in. Also, a bakery puts out a lot of beautiful flaky dough. Butter, bread... the sweet notes live in well apportioned echelons. The closest, most similar other scent like Uomo that I have is... Absolutely nothing! If you love pastry bakeries OR know Salvatore himself was a strong worker with excellent sensibilities and enjoy supporting the good in a brand that may have too much froufrou & whatnot going on despite and throughout various recoordinations and repackagings of intent - this is a must buy, even blind - you will have a lot of fun with this one. As always, never decide quickly about a fragrance. Let the relationship have a lot of space to happen organically.

Very interesting bottle and so is the scent within. Finally someone has done a good, sweet smelling, rich, gourmand oriental in the designer realm and I never in a million years thought it would come from Ferragamo. Perhaps I'm being slightly hasty and rushing into reviewing this (something I rarely do without at least a couple of wears under my belt.) because I only briefly tried it on my arm today. It shapes up to be something sweet but not cloying and genuinely deep, without being harsh in any way. Uomo opens with a fruits, a tart sweetness, which actually when settled smells more like a slightly boozy fig scent. The base is a kind of powdery cacao and tonka bean vibe which I must admit I didn't immediately associate with tiramisu but I suppose a kind of vanilla/chocolate/coffee is exactly what tonka and cacao are so...yeah Tiramisu. (a dessert I love BTW) The bottle has a striking look to it and is reminiscent of Lubin, guerlain and Lalique flacons with the similar embossed black bits. I will have to update this review because I'm intrigued to try Uomo again and that fact alone means its a good release. Be warned though this fragrance is for those of us with a sweet tooth and I'm predicting it will not be to everyone's taste.

This fragrance is a good buy if you enjoy wearing sweet fragrances like I do. Uomo starts off a bit spicy from the cardamom and black pepper with a hint of bergamot that gives it some freshness and after about an hour or so this thing turns to a very pleasant sweet dusty chocolate smell along with that sandalwood and tonka!! Warm sweet creamy vibes is what my experience is when I wear this fragrance and longevity and sillage is 8+ hours on my skin which is great. This is a super bargain fragrance that is very decent and of course it's not the best as far as quality ingredients goes but it's decent enough if you want a fragrance for the cooler months that won't break the bank!! Great fragrance for beginners and fragrance enthusiast's like myself who loves fragrances rather it's niche or designer, cheap or expensive, uomo is a strong like for me and I'm happy to have this one in my collection.

I enjoy using Uomo during the fall/winter season. The opening sweet notes of candy and tonka bean isn't overbearing. It quickly settles, there's a hint amborxan that starts to dominate and gives way to a peppery vib. Cardamon gives the mix of notes a pleasant earthy undertone. After awhile the sweet notes is still prevalent but the base notes of Tonka and wood notes gives the cologne a real attractive aroma. You know when someone passes you and you're wondering what cologne they have on which attracts you. This juice is all that. Longevity and Sillage is better than decent. Ferragamo has produced more quality products at an affordable price. Some of his colognes could compete with high end products. During the summer months I enjoy wearing F by Ferragamo. I also own Ferragamo black. This is a definite cologne to have during the cold months. 8.5/10 one word yummy

Wow. Well, this one definitely is going straight into the Fall rotation. Pissed away over $100 on a new Tom Ford that I regretted within minutes of purchasing (but I was too chickenshit to take it back). Oh well. I'll be gifting my brother-in-law a new bottle of Eau d'ombre leather this holiday season. This one, which I think cost $30, smells great, has great performance, and instantly made my day better. Slightly synthetic (so is the TF, as well as the new Creeds I tested) but not obnoxiously so. This stuff punches way above its price point. Not in yootoob or tiktock style, but in real-world "I just want to smell good and have positive reactions should someone else smell it on me' kind of way. Everything about the scent profile has been said already. Dessert-style sweetness with a great dry down. And I mean GREAT. Definitely recommend.

Blind bought this one and I truly did not like it. Gourmand? Tiramisu? Where?! I thought it was harsh and very synthetic so it stayed hidden in my cabinet for more than a month. Then I decided to casually wear it one rainy night, and I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it's the weather, or the juice maceration but I was enticed by its smell. What's more interesting is this is a legit COMPLIMENT GETTER. Everyone I came in contact with that night would just say that I smell great and I can see their reactions. I read somewhere from the comments below that this smells fantastic in the air and I agree 100%. I noticed that when I'm using this and I'd go to a room someone will always comment what the smell was and that it's delicious. Maybe to fragheads, this would be a flop, but to regular noses, this is some kind of fragrance voodoo magic.

After giving this a full wearing I have to say I like this fragrance. I applied this fragrance around 5:15 am on my skin and clothing, it projected pretty good for the first 4 hours and at around the the 6th hour it started sitting a little bit closer to my skin. Longevity wise this lasts about 10 hours for me which is great. I'm a trucker by trade so this fragrance works extremely well in the cold weather and I believe the orange blossom in this really stands out to my nose. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and enjoyed wearing UOMO today and if you like sweet fragrances with some freshness? Then I would recommend this fragrance or UOMO Signature which I also have as well and is my favorite out of the two. UOMO Signature is more refined and more mature and classy but I still believe owning both are worth it for me.

EDIT: I LOVE THIS. I am keeping my previous opinion below for reference. Lavender/Coffee/Vanilla. Sweet fragrance that is warmed up by tonka bean and some flowery note (at least on my skin) and a hint of coffee note. It's in the vein of New Haarlem (Vintage; I dont know about the new iteration whether they are reformulated these days) and Replica Coffee Break, somewhere sitting along the middle of the spectrum. Coffee here is dark bitter coffee smoothed up by creamy touch which I believe is from tonka beans and sandalwood. Longevity is good, but I only get fair sillage for around 30 minutes to one hour. I prefer Coffee Break over this, which is more prominent in lavender. People around me (that are non-fragheads) also prefer Coffee Break over Uomo. Perhaps it will grow on me, but for now, it's an "OK" fragrance.

4 years later, I still enjoy this particular scent even though over the years I’ve grown a disdain for sweet fragrances. Initially, this fragrance smelled like ice cream to me but eventually I was picking up the tiramisu...which is an Italian chocolate desert. I don’t feel it’s just “chocolate” like someone mentioned below. I really HATE CHOCOLATE fragrances but I digress. Back to the sweetness because I feel it’s important to clarify, this fragrance isn’t just sweet. Uomo is a blended body of fresh compelling sweet sexiness. Is it synthetic? Yes but still smells great. Also I want to add that I feel it’s unisex - I would love this on a woman. Lastly, as far as weather suitability, the cooler = the better.

this..... this is amazing. what the hell. men dont deserve this kind of scent. It’s definitely masculine leaning, its ground coffee with honey and some cinnamon creamer, and a tad woody. After 30 mins, the dry down is a photo realistic tiramisu - like deadass. Masculine perfumes that have this sweet spicy, ambery, woody, and sweet profile are my fave kind of mens perfume, such as Stronger With You by Giorgio Armani (the original and the Intensely version) as well as D&G The One for Men, amongst others. This one reigns supreme in this typa profile, and I PRAY this doesn’t go viral. Ps please only wear this in colder weather because if you spray this ho in the summer best believe youre gonna get a migraine.

Funny story, this reminds me of October 2016 with the first frost coming on the grass and me waking up for coffee before a school trip with my crush. I was not wearing fragrances back then, and was not even aware of this fragrance back then. But the smell reminds me of that morning with frost everywhere, drinking coffee and eating chocolate. I initallly didnt like this fragrance when i tried it cause i got this piercing drier sheet note but now its a lovely coffee light chocolate ambroxan cashmeran BOMB! Got a new bottle too and its still a beast for what it is. Love it. Im actually drinking coffee and eating black liqourice as im typing this lol.

I first bought the Signature than the Casual Life and now the Uomo, I love them all three – and for me they smell all different, though the dry down of the Signature and the Uomo are comparable – for me the casual life is better for spring and summer – it’s a bit fresher and less heavy – the Uomo is ideal in winter or fall during the day and the Signature in the winter or fall during the evening – the Uomo more gourmand, and Casual Life and Signature more coffee – all three great scents though not known by the large public due to limited availability in shops unless you live in big cities – all Ferragamo perfumes I own are blind buys

When this was launched I sprayed a scarf I had with it as I passed through an airport. Returning from holiday, other tests of other scents I'd tried had all faded, but the Uomo was still strong and rich eight days later. Picked up a bottle 12 months later. Now in Italy I brought an atomiser of my original bottle, and compared to the tester in the shop, one on left wrist, one on right. No comparison. The original lasted all day, and was deep and complex, the current formulation was gone in 2 hours and lacked depth. These reformulations are becoming a joke. I think if you don't buy upon release you're liable to be disappointed.

Signature gets all the love (and it's great in its own right, no doubt), but Uomo is the compliment secret weapon. People go bananas for this stuff. I can't wear this without someone saying something, even complete strangers. Performance is in the sweet spot of 8-9hrs for me, and projection is a solid 6 feet for a few hours. It does have that sweet tiramisu that everyone's talking about, but the tonka and ambroxan give it a gentle masculine spin. At ~$40, this is a steal. Atomizer sucks, but the scent, performance, and presentation: all banger. This one has steadily inched from "like" to "love" and shows no signs of slowing.

Oh man Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo was my first fragrance i bought with my own money.the perfect introduction to the world of fragrances. It’s a unique blend of sweet and spicy notes, with the standout tiramisu accord adding a deliciously creamy and gourmand edge. The cardamom and tonka bean balance it with a warm, masculine sophistication. Its projection and longevity are impressive, making it a reliable scent for day or night. Uomo feels confident, stylish, and just a little daring—a fragrance that made an unforgettable first impression and set the bar high for my collection.highly recommend it if you love sweet fragrances

This smells good and borderline gourmand . I had bought this and Stronger with You Intensely at the same time. I wanted to do a smell test to see if a $30 fragrance could compete with a $125 fragrance. My family all preferred SWYI but I wasn’t surprised since I paid 90 more for it. But later that day I got curious and smelled the dry downs and they smelled extremely similar 90% plus. I had to check the names on the test strips because I couldn’t tell what I was smelling. There openings are very different but the drys downs are close. I think this could be a decent SWYI alternative. Price 10/10 Smell 9/10 Overall 9.5/10
