L'Uomo

This is my first review here and this parfume is the reason why I joined. So... first the story. Year is 1996, end of my teen years (21). Just received my first bonus on salary and hopped over border to Italy to buy me something. Entering profumeria in city of Trieste was somewhat overwhelming but one cute seller girl was more than helpful and among 2 EDP, 2 EDT she picked for me Trussardi L'uomo after shave. I'm 50+ now. I still remember that event vividly and I give credit only to Trussardi L'uomo. Underappreciated scent. After I spent 3 bottles somehow life got me and I never bought it again. Time passes...30 years and 4 kids later in abundance of parfumes I have on shelves I couldn't find exactly one that was perfect for my wedding anniversary. I told my wife about it. She told me to scrub thru internet and find it anywhere and she will pay for it. Found on amazon in US, bought it (pump was not working I guess dye to age so I transferred it to new bottle). Bought again literally last bottle on my local amazon store also. And all could be irrelevant that my youngest one that's 5yr old said to me couple a days ago "dad I really like that smell, can you spray it on me?" He got it on t-shirt. So what can I say about it? It's Italian fragnance for man. I'm wearing it regardless of time of the day or season. I love it for several reasons, and in these days one of most important is -it's unique. Noone is even trying to copy it. All parfume experts I visited said they don't have all ingredients to even make dupe. Some even said that required oil contain alergen so they are not available (really dunno anything about that and don't care about allergens). Tomato leaf and lavander is punch in the face that goes away in literally minutes and all that is left is playful combination of citrusy vanilla with tobacco with hints of tangerine bergamot, cedar and sandalwood. Literally Italy in the bottle that will last 3-4 hours with mid sillage. Not more than one meter. I wish they will one day restart production

I use to have the bottle shown, I wasn't sure why but it had weird bitter tangy scent so I believe that it was spoiled. I couldn't believe my eye's when I seen another L'Uomo in a round metal bottle. When I sprayed it on my skin I knew that I had really lucked out having a second chance on owning this frag. This bottle, a similar aroma of citrus/green/herbal aroma from bergamot and orange. It also has a tangy aroma from the tomatoe leaf. After it settled down you pick up the woodsy notes of sandalwood supported by benzion and amber making it absolutely well balanced perfect during the summer months. Longevity and Silage is better than moderate lasting 6-8hrs Finally thoughts, I'm glad I bought this fragrance and I definitely would use it this summer coming. I realize that the tangy aroma was from the tomato leaf which is acidic...very close. All aside, It's too bad that it was discontinued because I'm sure if it was relaunched it would do well. 7/10...

Wearing this again today because I realized that I really love this in the early Spring and I’m upgrading it from a Like to a Love after owning if for 1 year. This blend smells unique to my nose and I believe this vintage bottle (triangular like the picture) would be considered “niche quality” and could sell today if an Indy or Niche house were making it. Guitar2016 and alphairone already wrote fine reviews, so I’ll simply say that I really enjoy the overall scent, the lemon and tomato leaf notes are unusually good, and the incense and other base notes make it feel complex and deep and make it more interesting than just another “warm sunny day” citrus freshie. Also I agree with the voters who find it quite Masculine, not sure why but it’s probably the tobacco

My absolute favorite for cold evenings, fall and winter. Simply the best tobacco leaf I've come across. Note - this is tobacco leaf, not pipe tobacco. Which means this is green, leafy, bitter, etc. And this is why it works so well here with the bitterness of the tomato leaf. They intertwine beautifully. This is flat out niche, and I don't understand why fragrances like this aren't being produced anymore. Such artistry at work here. The attention to detail here is incredible, absolutely expertly blended. Green, bitter, warm, invigorating. Starts off a bit sweet, but once the notes settle and blend together, the outcome is nothing more than pure class. Discontinued now sadly, just like many of the greats.

Excellent fragrance for Men and very likeable. Elegant, Classy and Unique. Amazing scent from the opening to the dry down. This fragrance is fresh spicy woody. The beauty of this perfume is how it develops on your skin, it smells lovely fresh green like a green garden in the spring. It opens up with like fresh sweet citrusy , green notes and tomato leaf in the background then it changes like fresh spicy and dry down is semi sweet amber woody. Too bad this is discontinued ! The bottle looks stunning. It is perfect for the spring, summer and fall. I really enjoy it and I love L'Uomo Trussardi EDT for Men. Highly recommended. Two Thumbs Up. Rating : 8.5 / 10
