A Falling Star...
Amorvero Uomo opens with relatively sweet mandarin orange fruit. As the composition transitions to the early heart accord the mandarin fruit remains now in support as it is joined by a group of sage driven mild herbs and aromatic lavender that take over as focus, with an additional underlying sweetness permeating the aromatics. As the composition continues through its middle, dry tobacco leaf rising from the base adds additional support to the starring aromatics; and during the late dry-down the sweetness dies as the tobacco leaf laced aromatic florals join relatively clean musk, slightly smoky vetiver and vague soft woods as the composition slowly fades. Projection is average and longevity very good at 9-11 hours on skin.
After being completely won over by the original release from Amorvero in its EdP form, I had great expectations for what the same talented nose (Lorenzo Dante Ferro) could come up with in his new Uomo EdT version created 13 years later. Alas, while the original was a lush powerful well-crafted and executed floral composition with a classical structure, this is a completely unmemorable "me too" light fresh aromatic composition that only distinguishes itself (in a bad way) by its unwelcome early sweetness and relatively artificial smelling woody nature late. There is nothing off-putting about Amorvero Uomo, but when so many other compositions including the relatively inexpensive Bellagio for Men by Parlux occupy a similar space and smell better for a lot less money it is hard to understand what would be the motivation to buy it. The bottom line is the $130 per 50ml Amorvero Uomo EdT is a middling release that while exhibiting very solid performance metrics compared to its peers does not back them up with a compelling fragrance, and at the end of the day is outgunned by others in a crowded genre earning a very average rating of 2.5 stars out of 5. My advice is if you enjoy this kind of light herbal aromatic Italian style composition; try Bellagio For Men before settling on this one.
