Python Uomo

*Action: Thank you for the generous decant!!* This scent was everything I hoped for and more! When I first read the notes I thought how different...I must have it! And now that I do I just love it... Although this scent is a fresher one, it is nothing like the usual suspects. It opens with the crisp, dry salaak fruitiness and the woody edge of fig tree bark and after a few minutes a very pure tea note drifted up to my nostrils and actually made me want an iced tea! I just adore the aroma of cypress, and here it is green and wonderful and the olive gives it (as Van Allan said) a moistness that is so very nice. This fragrance is very well done; the drydown is a little lower in volume than the opening or the heart, but still wonderful. The vetiver and tonka create a soft and warm grassiness and the musk is nice and not overly heavy. The teakwood is the note I smell the most. To recap: this begins fresh and fruity, remains wet and green and dries subtle, cool and woody on the skin. Stunning, one of the most treasured scents I have in my entire collection...Trussardi never disappoints me (thus far anyway!) Sillage: average to good Longevity: quite good Overall: 4.5/5 I love Pythons and this is a pretty good representation of a snake in perfume form. Smooth, cool, sexy with a lush exotic feel from tropical ingredients where Pythons are found. Exotic, but not TOO weird. Classy but not overly heavy or rich...a definite wonder!

great summer fragrance. i absolutely agree with other reviews, it's a bit of everything, a bit aquatic, a bit green, a bit aromatic, a bit blue...but the final blend is not boring or uncreative like other useless releases( Y by ysl for ex..). python at first impression seems nothing special, but after more using it's less predictable than it seems to be at first. it has pleasant aquatic notes combined with subtle fig leaf, tea, cypress, musk and vetiver notes. it's a gentle smell, relaxing and charmy. the scent is a mix of gucci pour homme 2 + kenzo pour homme but it's only my humble opinion. the sea notes in this juice reminds me an holiday in the Isole Tremiti, beautiful little islands in the south of italy, where the sea is transparent and clear, the sun is hot and the atmosphere is relaxing and out of time. the performance is decent, better in longevity than sillage. good for any age and great for summer, for office or casual situations. great fragrance sadly discontinued. grazie per l'attenzione! scent: 8,5 longevity: 7,5 sillage: 7 versatility:8,5 uniqueness:8 bottle:6,5 compliment factor-7,5 my vote: 8,5 in one word: relaxing ps- i think the name "python" doesnt fit for the character of the fragrance, instead of the color of the juice that match perfectly. but it's only my opinion.. alternative- bulgari acqua

I'm officially on the WTF bandwagon with designer brands discontinuing amazing fragrances - it makes me wonder if it's just to cash in on the "next big thing" mentality...turns out new isn't always better! Well, I am going to cherish my gem as it is far more beautiful than I remember! It opens with a very potent crushed green leaf note that is oddly true to life. There is definitely some figginess in here to counter the sharp greens - not the kind of creamy coconut kind of fig, a very green and aromatic fig. There is a beautiful tea note laced throughout lending a sort of floral softness that grows in volume with heat - it can be quite feminine at times! The whole fume is soundly accentuated by a potent cypress note that complements the tea and fig nicely while tying into the soft, slightly creamy white musk in the base. This fume is oddly quiet with one spray in the same area - I had to double up the sprays to really get this fume to shine. The intro was also quieter than the heart - which is the star of the show! Such a shame that this is no longer in production...Well, I hope you are all having a unique day or at least enjoying a unique fume! Day 38 - Groundhog Day Listening to: Haelos - Earth Not Above

A personal favourite of mine. I love wearing this undemanding and uplifting scent. Despite its blue presentation, this is definitely not an aquatic, and is delightfully light but also has great character. It smells very fruity, clean and berry-like at first but with a very interesting creamy-musky softness underlying it that makes for a lovely drydown. Not a million miles different than Bright Visit, just much smoother and so much better. Great in hot weather too, particularly just after showering. Although it lasts a long time on my skin, it also wears very (actually too) close to it with low sillage. This can usually be overcome with some heavy spraying - which is OK as it is very unlikely to offend anyone - hence a large bottle is a wise purchase. Otherwise, very nice and highly recommended. Can usually be found selling surprisingly cheaply - I don't understand how such quality can be sold so cheaply; but anyway I'm not complaining. P.S. I think the tag "Python" appears to be a reference to Trussardi's grounding in luxury leathers & skins. A special mention too for the 100 ml bottle: it's so awesome-looking!

According to Trussardi this fragrance also contains salak pulp. Salak is a Balinese fruit,also called snakefruit, that grows on low palm trees. The fruit can be pinched at the end which causes the skin to slough off-much like a snake's-revealing three lobes that look like garlic cloves and taste apple-like and can be dry/crumbly to crisp/juicy. They also mention that the musk is synthetic and it is the rough bark of the fig tree, and not the fruit,is in this scent which gives it a fig/wood type of smell. The cypress is Mediterranean, the vetiver is from the Bourbon Islands and the teak is Burmese(like a PYTHON)...This is one of my top 5 most wanted scents and I have been desperate to find this, if anyone has any leads let me know...
