Trussardi Uomo

For those who already know Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme but find it retro and simple,they should try the debut men's perfume from the italian fashion house of Trussardi. Both are basically Leather perfumes and somehow similar, cause they share some common notes ,but Uomo is by far more wearable because the huge Leather note complimented by sweet honey ,flowery Rose and spicy Geranium note which bring to the composition aromatic character.I still have never came across anything else that resembles Trussardi Uomo except this one of VC&A pour Homme.Both are excellent perfumes but Uomo wins in comparison in terms of complexity and projection. Due to the enormous projection of Uomo someone can be easily noticed by the others round him and can fill a whole room with only 2 or 3 sprays.Although i'm trying to avoid stereotypical phrases like: "this one is for winter" or "this is a summer perfume", i must admit here that Trussardi Uomo behaves better in the winter and autumn season.So you must be cautious with the application if you want to wear it during the hot months without annoying the others round you. Uomo follows the trend of 80's perfumerie where scents used to be wild ,with strong character and longlasting Sillage. Among them are also Kouros from YSL,Chanel's Anteus,Boss#1 ,Oscar de la Renta pour Loui and many other pioneer perfumes of the most significant decade for the perfumerie of wide market. But the time has changed as well as the fashion trends ,inclusive perfumerie. The new decade has brought together perfumers which emphasize more to the oriental features of an aroma.Typical of this genre are Joop!Homme(1989) and Le Male from Jean Paul Gaultier(mid-90's) in whose composition vanilla and cinnamon notes are dominant.The new generation of perfumers has tried also to shift the olfactory preferences of the wide crowd from Chypres and Fougeres and focused to aquatics ,mainly through market techniques.As a matter of fact ,several perfumes from the previous decades have been left artistically aside and even more some of them came out of production for a short or long period of time in order to expand the sell of the newcomer perfumes.Among them was unfortunately and Trussardi Uomo ,which is still in nowadays difficult to find at least in my country.The fact that is really hard to be found ,is on the other hand an advantage from my point of view ,because it's less ordinary and can be easily become a signature perfume because someone with this can be dinstinguished from the crowd.The only drawback is that the huge demand from the biggest funs of Uomo has raised the price drastically. In today's market consindered as one of the most significant perfumes of the last decades and is very appreciated by the aficionados of perfumerie. But for the younger crowd who prefers to wear oriental,spicy and woody compositions and wants in the same time to try something different ,i would recommend to give it at least a try.I'm sure that the majority will love it.But if you prefer perfumes that try (usually unsuccesfuly from my point of view)to resemble marine and aquatic notes ,then stay away from this. Apart from that i would not embarrassed if i would smell this on a woman, although some of the reviewers find it so aggressive and too masculine to be worn by women.A woman who uses to wear Aldehydic scents or men's scents with a leathery undertone,could also wear Trussardi Uomo. The olfactory sex-boundaries based mainly upon sociological stereotypes but fortunately the new market-trend in perfumerie has changed drastically the aspect in terms of sex-boundaries.With the appropriate promotion Uomo could be also marketed for women. Maybe the new reformulated version has chanched dramatically to the worst,according to the other reviewers,but to be honest i have never tried this, because i still have and old bottle from the 90's which i wear it sparingly only for formal and special occasions.Obviously for market reasons or simply the latest legislation of perfumes ,forced the producer to reformulate the scent.Who really knows!? Independently of the older or the new formula,i see that the new generation can also estimate this gem of perfumerie. With out doubt Uomo reminisences a perfume that can be found more on a mature person but not necessarily older.Yup!,it is a little bit conservative ,but i really can't see where the problem is. Uomo is one of the best Leather renditions of all time. Uomo is an enigmatic perfume full of contrasts cause it's an amagalm of animalic,floral clean(soapy but not it a bathroom way)and spicy notes, altogether artistically-blended by a master of perfumerie, in order to render the rugged and aggressive, yet elegant Leather note without being annoying or pitchy. Uomo stays and it will stay for sure on the list of my top 5 perfumes of all time.

Over 20 year's ago I bought a bottle of Trussardi Uomo. When Uomo Trussardi 2011 came out I recently tried it in a store. I knew that 2011 was nothing like the original!! I felt that I was mislead the way they used the words...(Trussardi Uomo and Uomo Trussardi 2011). Both bottles were black, the original one had a reptilian pattern vs the 2011 was a smooth black finish with a gold stripe on the side of the bottle. After trying Uomo Trussardi 2011, my feelings of it not being the same were confirmed. It wasn't even close to what Trussardi Uomo is....a truly classy men's cologne. I wasn't sure if I was going to find the original Trussardi Uomo. I was relentless and after 6 months of searching where I live without going on-line I was very fortunate to find one which had never been opened so I had to buy it. When I opened the box and sprayed it on my skin, it felt like I had struck gold. it has a rich aromatic aroma of both caraway and patchouli which gives it a fresh powdery scent. As it dried back the cologne takes on a more spicy scent combined with a woodsy cedar and oakmoss aroma. I'm also able to pick up a bit of leather which gives it a animalistic scent...a real masculine appeal. Trussardi Uomo has such an AMAZING aroma, I can smell the sweet scent of honey and musk mixed with just a hint of rose which all comes together making this cologne a MASTERPIECE. Uomo Trussardi 2011 is a more lighter cologne which is best suitable during the summer as a day/evening cologne. In my opinion it lacks the rich qualities of Trussardi Uomo. Trussardi Uomo is undoubtedly a far more sophisticated men's cologne. When I sprayed it on my chest 2x it stayed well past 8 hour's. After waking up the next day, I could still smell the cologne as if I had only sprayed it 6 hour's ago. It is hard to find a cologne like this which was put together by people who are so passionate about fragrance's as well as those who bought the high quality fragrance who also understand and can appreciate this cologne like you would a fine wine. Without a doubt I was so fortunate to find this cologne in a 100ml bottle. The longevity of this cologne is well past 12 hour's. The sillage is excellent, you can smell it more then 5ft away. When I spray Trussardi Uomo on my skin, I'm holding perfection in a bottle....10/10

luxury in a bottle. yes it's all about leather, pure leather with soft notes of rose, some spicies. a bit dated but in my opinion still wearable nowadays with the right outfit on the right man. i want to underline the word "man", because it's very manly, u can feel like the most confident person using this fragrance. the leather is a bit strong but in a pleasant way, u cant resist to smell your wrist again and again. the quality is high, the presentation is classy, and i adore the words on the certicate of authenticity that speaks "welcome to the trussardi's world". wow! it's another style, another way to look at costumers. a good modern alternative can be acqua di parma leather edc, very classy and modern. the bottle i have is a 50ml splash, with "trussardi parfums spa mi" on the bottom of bottle and box. the 2011 version is a nice scent, but the old version has personality and a clear direction. a sophisticated gem from the 80's. pura eleganza italiana degli anni ottanta! scent:9 longevity:8 sillage:8 versatility:6,5 bottle:9 uniqueness:8,5 compliment factor-6 my vote: 9 in one word: leather alternative- acqua di parma leather ps- do u know if the "selective beauties" version of this fragrance(the reptile bottle, not the 2011 version) is on the same level of the "trussardi parfums spa mi"version? is it worth buying?thank you! UPDATE JULY 2018: i got a selective beauties alligator tester bottle, so i can keep the very vintage bottle safe. i think ENDYMION is right, i dont detect big differences between the vintage and the s.b. alligator bottle. yes, the vintage has a bit more rounded leather note, but not so much. in the s.b. alligator version i detect also other floral notes more silent in the old version. the spa mi version has the 88% vol. alcohool, instead of the s.b. bottle which has the 79%vol. the smell is for the 95% the same to my unexperted nose, the vintage is bit more refined and some notes in the background are slightly different, but it's only my humble opinion so feel free to disagree. ciao cari!

Unfortunately it was discontinued in around 2003. I never found anything as strong, long lasting, with sillage that strong, as profound as Trussardi uomo in the old formulation. Most interesting about it was the combination of fresh opening notes. it was very unique freshness too - mossy, like a muddy forest lake on a cold March morning followed by extremely oily lizard leather scent mixed with suffocating soap. It was leaving the smell of the cold pressed sunflower oil on the clothes for many days. My wardrobe was penetrated and satiated with it. The bottles are still available on eBay, and even though they are 20+ years old, they still hold about 50% of longevity and sillage and it competes with niche brands like VCA or Amouage. I’ve tried many perfumes thereafter and really nothing substitutes it. You can find the soap, the green, the fresh, but not the combination of all of that with the oily leather. The comparisons to VCA pour Homme or Tsar, Jacomo di Jacomo and others have been useful as I have eventually bought all of them and enjoying. But - I’m still looking for Trussardi Uomo 1983 formulation... In vain though - many of the original components are discontinued due to regulation being allergens and falling under regulatory scrutiny. Nothing beats TU1983 for me. It’s the perfume wearing which I could remain silent because the composition was just representing me as I am... Confident, with good taste, aggressive, perseverant and influential but not loud. Love for life. Recently bought that 20+ year old bottle and my wife is saying it’s as strong as Amouage Interlude.

Trussardi Uomo (1983 Greyhound logo, not 2011 Coat-of-Arms logo) could very well be the greatest men's leather fragrance ever created. A recently-acquired first-gen tester ('ICR SpA Milano' on the bottom sticker) starts out with a harsh top but rounds-out so beautifully you'll swear you're enveloped in the well-worn, jet-black cockpit of a 1966 XKE. Comparisons to both Van Cleef & Arpels (1978) and Revillon's French Line (1984) are apt although where VCA presents what can be described as a gothic broodiness and French Line's rich decadence evokes a 'Studio 54' vibe, Trussardi introduces a refinement and stateliness that is universally appealing and dare we say almost perfect. Italian? Without a doubt; however to be fair the mantle of 'greatest Italian fragrance of all time' can only be worn by Gianfranco Ferre for Man (1986) for its ingenious use of fig leaf and classically-nuanced Old World appeal and character. The original 80s Uomo is a benchmark fragrance that achieves olfactory perfection with symphonic florals, aromatic honey/woods harmonies and a powerful, musky base-trio of Labdanum, Oakmoss and Leather ... without question one of the finest leather compositions ever inspired. My new nostalgic beast-mode love ... long live Trussardi!

I have a Scannon bottle of this. So it's basically a nineties bottle as Scannon produced this from 1992/2000. On initial spray it shares a similar with Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme but it's definitely not exactly the same scent. I wouldn't say both fragrances are interchangeable. Uomo is a refined scent that is spicy, leathery and soapy. It smells dark and heavy but never overpowering. My bottle is 50ml and I also have a 100ml bottle coming, also in the vintage style bottle of which I'm sure is even older than the one I currently have. Will update when I receive, vintage is definitely one to seek out, completely different from current formula of which the only thing in common is the name. **Update** I got my 100ml bottle and it's an early vintage. I can testify that the early vintage and the bottles distributed by Scannon until 2000 are very much the same scent with the same performance in terms of sillage and longevity. One of my favourite vintages now!

Hello, To me it's THE leather scent! So classy and distinguished a fragrance, to say the least, so characteristic that one is unlikely to take it for any other. Definitely NOT suitable for a pimpled youngster in a t-shirt and trainers... I associate it with a meticulously appareled gentleman of at least 40 (expensive classical-design leather shoes, croc-pattern strap and wallet, leather strap wrist-watch, etc.) I will never part with this jewel though it's ages since I first sniffed it back in the 90's. Can't think of any manufacturer making such type of scent at the moment...

It's pleasant. Mine is more flowery than I'd prefer. I get musk & citrus, carnation, bay leaf but not much leather.I notice others say it's so macho, masculine and leathery. Actually, I think this would work better on women> It has a classic smell that a man of the 80's / early 90's might wear. I think a woman might enjoy it on a man, but most men would likely pass over for a more 'blue' 'ocean' 'organic' smell these days. A lot of staying power. You won't need much. Strictly for colder climates, or cold winter nights in warmer climates.

The opening is so layered and complex. Theres a tiny hint of synthetic in there, but instead of ruining it, it kinda makes the rest of the notes stand out more. It feels sofisticated and totally unapologetic, yet at the same time its a classic smell that never takes risks or goes off track. A real people pleaser, but still feels unique on the skin. As it dries down, it goes into cedar, rose, leather and moss , simple clasic

It's that kind of rapturous passion, you will not forget for years ...Will yield you thousands of compliments! The most refined leather that may exist with something exotic, I could not identify in any way: aldehydes!It's a shame no longer exists, the 2011 version scares me, notes are totally different! Photo by Lagerfeld has some similarity. Ma che che bello UOMO che sei !

This is one of those underrated frags that you just can’t stop help smelling. I feel so good wearing this and it is quite unique, masculine but not overpowering. It’s not a citrusy freshie and can be worn all year round. Performance could be better but the price makes up for it

The perfect man must wear this perfume. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful perfume for men. It is a timeless elegance. 10/10 . I just regret that it is no longer available. The 2011 version is a different fragrance... very bad, unfortunately.

I'm 27 and I love this! I fear to wear it though because it really is a very mature scent and feel like I may appear out of place with this one. Performance on this thing is prefect, long lasting with perfect silage for indoors environment

Classic, strong, sophisticated. Captures the essence of pure leather. A mix of leather, vetiver and lavender. Amazing longevity, explosive projection. Intense, masculine ... a timeless masterpiece!

Sofiapap did a thread a while ago, for us to recommend her a beautiful honey + spice perfume. Well Sofia, it does not get ANY better than this! MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

winter/fall fragrance...it's masculine, it's so strong, it's very charismatic... i love this one very much... it lasts about a day... my point is 9/10

BEST FRAGRANCE ever created!!! Simply an Amazing italian EDT. Strong and masculine, just try this original fragrance from 1983.

woody,leathery,soapy, beautiful scent, this fragance is one of my top favorites !!!!!!!!!

I have the vintage goods and it smells like a million $!

Yes, you can place it alongside Jules, Gianfranco, Salvador, and Passion. Perhaps here something leatherier stands out more compared to those. You also have the blend of THAT green, the romances with some dark gourmand depths, but here maybe something red stands out on the very surface, which somewhat recalls the excess of Fahrenheit — a big positive, since it’s a turn towards medicine, bandages, and a clear, good synthetic production quality. And that effect, if it reminds you of anything, is leather, which brings to mind the description of Gucci GA. Very good. It also reminds me of some Polo or Paco Rabanne (more Polo), because you have that greenery — like slightly darkening Boucheron. What’s nice here is that the leather effect has a somewhat industrial dimension, quite characteristic. On the skin, it’s chocolaty-leathery, somewhat evoking Denim Original, since it’s basically an oakmoss-leather base, not standing out much on the skin. It seems to me that Salvador and Jules are better at this. It’s good, but seems a bit simpler and cheaper.

@Jamie1983 I have seen those bottles on Ebay and maybe it is not a matter of fake stuff ... it could be a matter of butcher's reformulation . I spent a lot of time searching a FB of the real 80's version sending messages to vendors in order to verify if the pic matched the shipped item and NO ,many of them used the 80's box pic and sold the Selective Beauté ( distributor ) bottle ( 2005 ) . Anyway , today I' m Happy : I finally found a real bottle of the 80's : the box shows a bigger animal logo than the one present on the Selective Beauté box To be more precise , if the size of the animal logo shown on the bottle is the same as the one on the box , it is the 80's formula . if the logo on the box looks much smaller like the one on the box shown above in the third pic on the right , it is a more recent version . No breaking news : if you chase an original formula , always ask if it is a stock photo or the pic of the real perfume/box ...

Pleasure and Comfort this is what TRUSSARDI UOMO is all about,the best from the Trussardi till date. Evergreen sort of perfume simply a great masculine fragrance, very unique and very classy! It starts with a strong leather notes that are quite animalic then it gradually evolves into soft musky powdery fragrance. Elegant Bottle.It is highly appreciated fragrance with decent projection and longevity. Comparable to another legendary perfume Aramis 900. I give it 8.5 out of 10.

It is A Nice Classic Scent, Masculine, Mature and Strong. I received a sample of that when I bought my new perfumes. It is very Rare and Expensive. It opens up with very sharp and strong fresh spicy, green and spices notes in the background then dry down is earthy, mossy and leathery. This is perfect for the fall and winter. If you like a barbershop style fragrance with The Leather note, You will like this one. Longevity is very good. Rating : 7 / 10

This opens harshly and unpleasantly, but then settles down to a very nice leather accord with florals and spices and just a touch of honey. The drydown is quite nice, but to be honest there are so many other wonderful masculine leather fragrances without the unpleasant opening from this era you can still find (like Valentino Vendetta per Uomo) that I don't much see the need for getting this.

Classy, elegant and masculine like real italian. But i don't get much leather here. Main players for me are lavender, aldehydes, oakmoss and bergamot. So i think its pretty versatile - you can wear it even in summer (evenings). Scent: 8/10 Perfomance: 8/10 Compliments: 7/10 Overall 8/10

@APULIAN both versions are virtually the same, no change in the notes at all :)

It reminds me of Ralph Lauren Polo.

Didn't try it back then but now it feels like your average masculine scent as there are so many alike. If you like normal masculine scents with usual notes like fresh, woody, sweet n musky notes for casual wear then this can be casually worn, nothing extraordinary here, it's a non offensive normal scent. Good thing about this scent is that it is pretty smooth and post drydown notes (leathery aroma) remain till end. I won't wear it in summer. In a blind smell test I won't be able to pick this one. I agree with people comparing it to Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme as this one came after the Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme and is about the same thing. Much cheaper scents with similar or better performance of the same age group like Quorum, Lomani pour homme, UDV etc are more prominent. Scent 7/10 Sillage 6/10 Longevity 7/10 about 4 hrs Value 7/10

Very poor performance. No throw and it's almost completely undetectable in an hour. At least the sample I have. When I can't smell it on my wrist anymore I ask my wife to tell me how I smell. If she has to lean in to smell my neck up close it's a loser. This is one of those. The notes... I'd like to comment on them but they're almost completely gone so soon. If you're willing to reapply all day it smells nice while it lasts Sweet and floral in the opening. I get the rose, carnation, honey. Maybe the patchouli. I don't get the vetiver unfortunately or the oakmoss or leather though you'd expect those in the dry down and it's so ludicrously subdued by that stage I can barely distinguish anything.

Having first read all these positive reviews I was expecting something invigorating. Im sorry to say I was disappointed.First spray and I am like, yeah thats what I am talking about, but soon after that, the scent was not very pleasant. The trail was not bad, but each time I sniffed my wrist there was something I kinda disliked, maybe it is the leather. 6/10

TONS of leather and a hint of rose and patchouli. This is a bit too headache inducing for me, altough it is an EDT so what to expect it has a strong performance for that matter. My mom loves it bc its my late grandpas scent, not awful but definetly strong from the tiniest spritz.

maybe i'm just a bozo, but this is one of the first scents i've ever tested that i couldn't wait to wash off me. the initial notes were swirling with powder that i really didn't like. that calmed down fairly quickly, but what's left is a very chemical-y mix of aldehydes and odd-rose. maybe my decant came from a bad bottle? alternatively, i do remember scents from the early 1980s that had this sort of vibe to them (and never much liked them back then). absolutely not for me. i originally picked it up 'cuz i wanted to sample more leather-y scents - but i don't get much leather from this - and what i do get sorta smells like "fake leather" more than rich, quality leather. my tuppence fwiw.

I got hold of a miniature of this and I am quite impressed. Though many of the 80's and early 90's fragrances are too strong for me, I do like this one. I've always wondered about aldehydes. I knew they were popular in older perfumes, but I had no idea what they smelled like. When I smelled the opening of this fragrance, I immediately knew I smelled aldehydes. The only other ingredient I could pick up by myself without looking at the notes was honey. It's an interesting scent, but it is NOTHING like the 2011 Uomo. This is much stronger, maybe even a bit too strong for me.

Uomo starts cheap and ends cheap. It’s not a leather fragrance. There are much better options out than this current formula. It doesn’t perform for me. 6/10

Unfortunately it becomes immediately a skin scent. A pity, since the fragance smells lovely. Not for me, though.

Where is vintage Trussardi Uomo? This is this is something completely different!

Trussardi Uomo - I am the Trussardi! I modified the famous sentence of King Louis XIV, who identified himself with the state, saying: "I am the State", to identify myself with this perfume. No matter how hard I try to get away from Trussardi sometimes, or I get bored, or I overdo it, or I want to experiment with something new, I am always unwavering in the thought that TU is the perfume that is the counterpart of my personality in the perfume world, what would people say, It's my signature. Thanks to the forum (fragrantica) and real connoisseurs, in probably my first topic in which I presented my fragrant affinities and the idea of my ideal perfume, Trussardi was suggested and after more than a decade I did not get a better recommendation or find a more suitable perfume for me than Uomo. I repeat, TU is not the best, I just think that he embodies me the best. In the world of leather, the group to which it belongs, I myself think that in terms of the quality of creation, Knize Ten, Puredistance M, Roja Fetish are far ahead of Trussardi and on the throne of the mentioned group; but Trussardi is on the throne to my taste. Typical Italian, sharp, airy, no French / Gerlan density of fragrant chords, not dirty as leather scents are usually, not layering but pretty linear, characterful, headstrong, although considered by many to be a symbol of masculinity, quite a metro to me, with a special, strange charm and perfect aesthetics, which is a segment in which no one can compare with the Italians. The fragrance itself is a combination of three predominant notes in the form of aldehydes, leather and honey with a very short but beautiful citrus opening. It smells sharp-green-dark and must be admitted quite linearly, because the notes are so integrated that there are no major oscillations in the scent itself. It is very variable how it will smell depending on the pH of the skin, aldehydes are the most dominant on me and overall my skin makes it very fresh, but I have acquaintances who really complain that it develops sour and strange on their skin. I note there is no any similar fragrance and that the similarities with Van Cleef PH for example are insufficient to compare, I had all the formulations of both and I claim. Stylistically, Leonard Pour Homme is much closer to him, but I repeat, not similar enough to say similar. Performance is what makes this perfume at the very top in the group of oldschool fragrances and a real powerhouse, which is bad on the one hand, because this fragrance has been used by many who only want 10m radius projection and do not recognize the charms of the fragrance and are not related to this Italian.

Reading some of the more recent reviews, folks seem to be picking up the newer, neutered version of Trussardi Uomo from 2011 in the re-designed bottle. There is a separate entry for that release, as it an entirely different fragrance from what I've gathered, and these disparaging reviews belong there. The classic Trussardi Uomo was originally produced by Scannon and then subsequently by Selective Beauty SA (from which my bottle originates). Selective Beauty seemed to have done an excellent job preserving the integrity of this fragrance, though I haven't experienced an older vintage. Be me up, Scotty, to Aldehyde City. The opening is sudsy, mildly rosy, and redolent of herbs and caraway. Of course I like this, this is what I live for. The real magic, however, is as this settles and we have a honeyed leather, which sets it apart from say, VC&A PH or Leonard PH. Vetiver, patchouli, and treemoss coalesce to create that great 80s bombast for which I just can't get enough. Why am I so drawn to macho, hairy-chested scents? What does that say about me? Oh yeah, the moustache, hmm, right. Well, you can always send me a private message, fellow Fragranticans. The classic Uomo is a sophisticated Italian leather, full stop. Best wishes on your search to find a bottle.

This is a tough one for me to review. First off, objectively speaking, this is a great fragrance. I've smelled this on others and it's dynamite. Masculine and sexy. Virile even. On my skin though it's a different story. The opening spray is just amazing. It smells rich and luxurious, and gives you this image of Italian masculinity. It immediately becomes an extremely dry fragrance. I'm accustomed to green fougeres and aquatic freshies so I wasn't ready for this. It just smelled dry and dirty. Ugh! Reminds me a bit of Jacomo de Jacomo's dry down, although different openings and endings. I went to bed with this on and when I woke up, it was still on me, but it had magically transformed into this great, light, sexy-fresh scent. Weird. I think ultra dry chypres just don't mix well with my skin chemistry. Oh, and the bottle I used wasn't bad, as someone else used the same stuff after me and it smelled great on them. Anyway, based on how it smells on others, this is easily of the top 10 designer fragrances from the 1980s. Maybe even in the top 5. 8.5/10

I got it for my husband and now I don`t know what to think...It smelled divine on a person I asked about this scent - but now, when I smell it out of the bottle, it seems way too strong - tar and some machine shop comes to mind - tools, leather belts, oily details....I feel leather for sure, then of course vetiver (hard to miss),lavender like lavender leaves and some rubbery notes I can`t identify - is it bay leaf that`s tricking me? I am a bit hesitant to put it on my own skin, but I will write more after trying it on my husband. One more thing - when my husband was wearing it, I caught myself several times smelling Salvador Dali for women (black lips). It took me a while to realize it`s Trussardi!!!!!!! BTW, the bottle is divine. It feels great,I like the feel of textured leather and the significant weight in my hand.

One of the most carefully crafted, and artfully blended fougeres I've yet to experience. It's hard to imagine how timeless fragrances like this were developed in the earlier days. For those that are wondering, this version is different from the 2011 release - but make no mistake - both are worth owning. This version, however, is enigmatic and timeless and definitely worth hunting down if you can find it. The lavender, aldehydes, moss, and florals are so well blended the outcome is nothing more than a luxurious soap affair. The leather is there, but it is not austere or animalic, instead, it works as a supporting note while the honey adds a certain transparent silkiness to the entire composition. This could be the Masculin Pluriel of the 80s.

My first purchase of this beauty dates back to 1991. I was very young at the time! It didnt fit me but I liked it a lot. I returned to it few years ago but still it didnt agree with me yet. Now, over 40 I reached for it again and YES, now its mine. Wonderfull leather with aldehyides, lavender and spices. It has its sharpness not at the start but in the drydown which i totally adore in a fragrance. It is soooo comforting that - although mainly a formal scent - it may stands its ground even on casual occasions when you feel like it. Trussardi at its very best. Not a typical 80's powerhouse because it has a sophistication and elegance which makes it stand out of that crowd! The style of the late Nicola Trussardi shiningsoooo bright!!!

Everyone who is dividing perfumes to old or trendy is making it very wrong. I mean, this Trussardi is absolutely gem ( talking of 90's version ) and therefore I am shure that today many bussiness people can wear this beast successfully. Perfumes got dated regarding on popularity. Today all Dior Homme collection is dated, Million, Invictus, Cool water or ADG are all dated by todays criticism, because it's so much of them. Very soon Sauvage will be dated, Chanel Bleu or so. This one posess such a quality, that I am happy to had owned this one, and still remember that fresh, warm scent, which just make me feel nice. Excellent perfume. (80-90's) version.

I've just got it yesterday from a small store. Bottle still good, but the gold in the trussardi logo and some text has fade away. My mind said, is this original? I try it first by spray it in my hand, opening with fresh flowery and dry down like polo green. What a fantastic scent, I think it's original. After bargaining, I got it for USD 23 for 100ml. With complete original box, wrap it and take it away, be my vintage collections. So happy with the scent. I use it today at 08.00 AM, just 3 heavy spray at neck and at back of both ears. and wow.... got 8+ hours of longevity... still a monsteerrr What a bless (",)... hahaha

Just scored a 1980s vintage 1/4 full for $5.00 at the thrift store. It fell outta my hands in the parking lot and the plastic case split in 2 only to reveal a less than "manly" naked bottle inside. LOL. That was funny and the case snapped right back together like Lego ! LOL. This is nice - a bit old school but there is nothing very original about it. the "leather" is NOT a main ingredient , this feels "dark green" but fresh NOT DAMP like many "dark greenies" do . My bottle says "Milano .. Made in Italy". How are the newer version of this ?

This is definitely an older scent, wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 40. Extremely strong sillage and longevity. If you're using this, it would only be tolerable during winter - not recommended for summer or warm climates. Not sure how people can like this. Leather scents are some of my favorites, but I tend to go more for Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather, Nabeel, etc. Even aside from smelling dated, another major gripe I have with this is that the leather smells synthetic. Note: I tried the original, not the reformulation.

This was a timeless masterpiece, deep, rich sensual with superb projection. I really don't know what is happening to male fragrances these days as they are weak and feminised aimed at metrosexuals it seems. So many wonderful fragrances have disappeared to be replaced by reformulated rubbish. This, along with Givenchy Gentlemen Dunhill D and the original Dunhill all gone to be replaced by cheap, boring bastardised fragrances with no longevity or depth bearing no resemblance to thir once brilliant predecessors!

I must have bought a reformulation. This is very weak. Barely lasts 15 minutes on me. Sprayed myself like crazy repeatedly and can hardly detect anything unless I deeply inhale up close. Where I bought it from does not do returns or exchanges. It came fresh out of anew box. What a waste and dissapointment. I'll see if I can give it away to my daughter's roomate maybe it'll work better on a man's skin/w.man's hormones/chemistry.

Something magical happened on the planet Earth in the years 60-70-80. In addition to being a golden age of international pop music, creativity has also hit countless perfume brands that have launched unforgettable essences. Trussardi Uomo was one of them. Elegant to the extreme with a scent penned by a true musical composer. A classic. scent: 9.5/10 longevity: 8/10 sillage: 9/10 bottle: 10/10

I believe my bottle is "true vintage" (definitely pre-2000). It reminds me of vintage Leonard Pour Homme, but weaker though smoother. There definitely seems to be some "fresh" aroma chemicals and some lavender here, along with the textural leathery quality. I'll have to spray more next time to see if more is revealed (just used half a spray to the chest thinking it would very strong).
