UDV

This is a beautiful herbal and woody cologne that both fans of classic and modern colognes could embrace. It is very well executed, it smells clean, classy, not cheap at all despite its price. It has good longevity and sillage. I like it very much and it would be best suited for autumn/winter. Let me share a personal observation that some others may find useful. Some reviewers here -and elsewhere- have said that this cologne is sweet, others said that it is dry. Which is it? I was a little bit worried about the alleged sweetness of this. I would say that it is more sweet than dry, but that in a very manly way: not "fruity/chocolatey sweet" (Montblanc Individuel or some other more "modern" compositions) or "vanillic sweet" (Caron Pour un Homme). The "sweetness" comes, I would guess, from the interplay of musk/jasmine but it is extremely well balanced by the subtle bitterness of artemisia, the woodiness of patchouly/vetiver and something citric, which pushes it to a certain "dryness". It is "aperitif" sweet (as if one were smelling a glass of white non-dry Martini, Carpano or Gancia, for lack of a better description). In this sense, it reminds me of Jaguar for Men, another cologne which I like very much. Best

Quando vi as avaliações ruins desse perfume eu decidi comprar por incrível que pareça eu gosto de nadar contra a correnteza e experimentar na pele o que seria esse suposto cheiro de "urina de velho" e outras baboseiras que eu vejo por aqui , em resumo esse perfume me remete a sensualidade , é isso mesmo.... sensualidade, é libidinoso , me parece que jovens senhores na década de 90 curtiam esse tipo de perfume para encontros nos bares ao ar livre em Paris com madames em busca de um parceiro para a noite feliz ! Falando do perfume em si ele tem uma saída adistringente , ardida e aromática por causa da artemísia, sinto o jasmim (lado floral leve) e a virilidade do Musgo com um patchouli verde ...não achei tão terroso , ótimos para encontros como mencionei antes , mas encontros em locais sóbrios bares organizados com música ao violão , trabalho em escritórios ou climatizados ... Paguei 65 reais nisso rsrs , pechincha! Na mesma loja depois que comprei já estava por 52 (era pra eu ter esperado kkk ) enfim , é um PERFUMAÇO que entrega MUITOOO pelo preço que é vendido e remete ao homem decidido e funcional sexualmente falando , minha assinatura vai ser fácil fácil . Avaliação geral : 9/10

It’s the most sensual perfume I’ve ever smelled—direct, unapologetic, and clearly designed for sex. It exudes virility and power when it warms on the skin, blending with sweat, saliva, and latex. While many believe that perfumes suited for these moments should be sweet, I completely disagree. However, the fragrance does have its flaws. First, there is a significant inconsistency between the olfactory pyramid listed on Fragrantica and the one published on the official website. I contacted the brand, and they confirmed that the official website provides the correct information. Still, I disagree, the site doesn’t even mention patchouli or oakmoss, which are the most prominent notes to my nose. Another major issue is the quality of the notes, especially the top notes. The opening smells bitter, almost like expired medicine or burnt rubber. Years ago, the perfume didn’t have this characteristic. I came here looking for similar fragrances with better quality, but as many have already pointed out, there’s nothing quite like this one. I hope it eventually draws the attention of renowned perfumers.

Fragrance reviews #2 This fragrance was given to me as a gift, and now that I've gone through most of my 60ml bottle, I am seriously considering about buying it again. No really, what's there not to like about this fragrance? It's very masculine, inoffensive, can be worn any season any time. This is the definition of a mass market cologne. Cuba, axe/lynx and Zara should be taking notes. I own a few bottles of fragrance and this is one of my most complimented ones. And it is spicy. Like REALLY spicy. A nice barbershopy scent with a little bit of an earthy aspect to it. On my skin it lasts for about 3 hours and projects decently for about an hour. The presentation is also very good for the price, both the box and the bottle. The atomizer has really nice distribution and it is also made out of metal, instead of the cheap plastic used in most varens fragrances. You could easily trick someone who doesn't know fragrances into thinking that you paid designer money for this one. Overall: Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 5/10 Projection: 5/10 VFM: 10/10

I can affirm, with tranquillity, that this cologne is one of the best colognes, considered as second line, I have worn in my entire life. I experienced my first bottle about 10 years ago and since this time I always have one at home. This is a scent that is extremely strong, conservative and that gives a very intense sense of confidence. I barely feel the citrus notes of lemon and Mandarin orange in the output. I feel only a very cool dose of mint which blends, rapidly, with the galbanum and a few more flowers. I also feel Violet and I'm sure there's jasmine in the composition. His base is drier, with wood notes, oakmoss and a dose of vetiver. It exhales a lot and lasts, easily, for about 12 hours on the skin. If I had to try to describe, quickly, what other cologne it recalls, I'd say none specifically. But I would risk saying it is almost a mixture of Kouros with a touch of Azzaro. Were you scared?

I bought this bc the notes sounded great and I was curious about the older reviews, pre-TikTok. The notes are exactly as described (you can literally read the aromachemical composition on the bottle), so you'll like it if you like that sort of thing. If you told me it was a new release from PDM, I would easily believe you--it smells smooth and expensive, and there's a warm, rounded sweetness to it even though it's very green/herbal/spicy on the surface. It smells (very faintly) good in the air, and even better up close. It's one of the few fragrances I can think of that last longer on skin than on clothes (Also, I just realized that the umbrella icon on the ratings page does NOT mean "rainy day", so I've apparently been recommending heavy, syrupy, tobacco-booze-cake-spice scents for dead summer this whole time. This IS a perfectly sound scent for a rainy day, though)

This is the game changer, when we scratch our heads looking confused. Is a masterpiece Indeed, affordable but ignored, UDV remain on its own, standing up for itself with a lot of character in the lowest places and dusty corners of drugstores around the world,the value inside the bottle is way above we would believe, this fragrance tells a story, it is dignified,authentic,seductive,wholesome,despite public ignorance regarding the brand and the bottle. This is a straight up masculine and have a lot of class, seems like poetry to me, is retrofuturist, or better saying, always relevant due its authenticity, I read somewhere that Style begins where fashion ends,this quote apply to this one, very much recommended, don't be a marketing victim and despise this very interesting composition, appreciate this art and thank me later.

I just had my first frag compliment since covid began! Bought UDV for men 2 weeks ago and had been experimenting with it. Found out it only cost about 7 dollars for 60 ml and after reading reviews thought it might be to my liking. Cheap smelling? Well, it's 7 dollars. But enjoyable? Yes, I find it enjoyable so far for warmer summer days just bumming around the house. This morning I was cleaning the stairs of my old apartment building when my old neighbor (who is an avid gardener by the way and loves flowers) said out loud (Ooooh what smells so nice?) I knew right away it was me. So clearly it can produce some reasonable sillage in the first hour or two. She was a good 30 feet away, albeit in a close hallway. Unpretentious, a bit synthetic, but a real compliment getter from retired women. ;-)

This classic UDV is a great (I stress: great!) mossy patchouli scent. It's a great revisit on the very classic fougère/aromatic formulas (despite of the pyramid shown here), nothing that hard to understand, imo. - on that same range as Zino, Azzaro Pour Homme, Rive Gauche, the celebrated Beau du Jour (and this one is praised, 'cause maybe, you know, it's got the Tom Ford tag...). It does not smell cheap at all. No rough edges, nothing wrong with it, that's certain. C'mon, people. Let's show the love this little gem deserves. Stop looking for status in you perfume bottles. It's possible (actually, it's probable) that UDV and some "big names" get their supply of aromachemicals from the same source. Who knows? I don't. But I wonder. Solid. 8.5/10

Retro yet Avant garde. Beastly longevity. Not shy, but not cocky. Manly, into face, independent, not flamboyant. It is very hard to describe based on ingredients. On cold air, when I first met it - it stopped me in my tracks and my brain rushed into it - I remember thinking of ink, wood polish, even some kinda image of burning space-ship, but paradoxically - really attractive. I've read about ingredients and still can't re-evaluate it as citruses and mosses. I bought it and very-very happy. I won't wear it to symphony concert, also not for business meeting in auditorium, or doctors visit. Everything else though - Rock, Jazz, hangout with buds-n-beer, walk on a pier, making out after-hours.. Thank you.

To my nose this is very close to A*Men, that was the first thing that came to mind when I first sprayed it on. I'm guessing it's the patchouli and musk, combined with the citrus topnotes? It is less in your face than A*Men, though. I love this stuff. Very unique and masculine, you don't smell anything like this on the street. A soapy, mossy patchouli fragrance with above average performance!

It costed me less than 9 Euros. Smells like an expensive designer frag. Does not smell sinthetic or cheap. I do get some vibes of Azzaro pour Homme and YSL Kouros. Strong Citrus opening followed by strong Vetiver and Oakmoss. Average longevity. Nice presentation, good sprayer. Overall rate of 8,00/10.00 Recomended. With this price just blind buy it,

Smelling this today and I do pick up a bit of the "burning tire" note someone mentioned below. That's NOT a bad thing to my nose, it actually calls to mind the legendary Salvador Dali PH. UdV is ultimately more Zino-like than Dali, but that green rubbery note is quite enjoyable. UdV is a fantastic and timeless fougere.

I have known this fragrance since the late 1990’s early 2000’s and all I can say is that you will not find a lot of similar profiles due to its uniqueness. Outstanding performance and versatility especially for the price this is a no brainer. If you are a frag collector you should add this to your collection asap.

I have a vintage bottle of this and this is in fact not cool water + eros (both suck). This is a dry citrusy-patchouli fragrance, a much fresher and wearable Davidoff Zino, also simmilar to Dali Pour Homme. This is a 10/10 gentlman masterpice. Drydown better then most fragrances worth 20 times more.

To me, this is nostalgia in a bottle! I grew up wearing this. It's a beautiful scent. Sure, it's a cheapie that performs moderately and doesn't project that much, but it surely brings back a lot of great memories. It's a unique fresh classic that'll always revisit.

This is now one of my favorites. It's a gorgeous patchouli gem. This has excellent longevity and projection too. In fact, I could detect this clearly after 12 hours! Very like the lovely Zino. If you love patchouli as I do, have a spritz of this.

Holy shit a smell, That I haven't smell since I was little kid. the late 2000s era this was smell I've smelt a lot in our house. What a beautiful ass smell, definitely will fish for smells like it.

A cheapie, but a fantastic one. Elegant earthy, musky, quite animalic patchouli. “Nowadays people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

I have the splash on cologne of this, and I can't get enough if it! Fresh, aromatic with a lovely musky patchouli dry down. Suites the colder months. For the price its a complete no-brainer, 9/10!
