Arrogance Uomo Arrogance 1987 Eau de Toilette

Although the bottle is matte black, I see the color green milliseconds after spraying it. A rather dark green that transports you right into a forest full of ferns, oak moss, coniferous trees, and much more.

The addition of lavender, artemisia, nutmeg flower, and sage brings "Arrogance Uomo" appealing fresh-spicy vibes, including a slightly bitter twist.
In the base notes, classic notes like patchouli, oak moss, as well as minimal leather and a bit of vetiver come through. It also has decent longevity along with projection.

All in all, it is obvious that we are dealing with a fragrance from the 80s and that "Arrogance Uomo" was truly created for men who know what they want. I imagine the wearer as a gruff commissioner or a daring inspector from those rough crime stories, who sometimes break conventions and laws to solve or avenge a case.

However, I can well imagine that "Arrogance Uomo" shone more intensely back then than it is allowed to today. My version seems almost a bit too mild for an 80s fragrance, yet it remains unusual and appealing, as well as slightly out of time without appearing old-fashioned. This arrogance definitely has class.
