Too late

As is always the case with fragrances that scratch the 40-year mark or even go beyond it. The fragrance still has the same name, the bottle may still look the same, but often the font or placement of the perfume name changes and from then on you automatically know: something has happened to the fragrance.

This is also the case with Arrogance Uomo. The bottle has changed, the "Uomo" has moved to the right under Arrogance and the fragrance has been "adapted".

Arrogance uomo didn't last forever in the past either, but from now on you have to be prepared to have an old Italian firecracker on your skin for about 15 minutes and a fragrance close to your skin for the remaining 2-3 hours. The fragrance from the bottle pictured here has a little more to offer.

What has changed rather less, and I have to say this commendably, is the fragrance itself.
Spicy herbal notes and a little soapiness at the beginning still fit.
Once the notes have sorted themselves out, Arrogance uomo comes alive with clove, rose geranium, oakmoss and vetiver. The whole thing is kept very green and spicy and still transports you olfactorily to Mediterranean climes, but unfortunately only on a low flame. As is often the case, I missed out on a large vintage bottle back then. Now I just have to live with the new one. At least I still have vintage deodorant, which lasts longer than the current EdT

Unfortunately, it doesn't last well on me either. In terms of fragrance, however, it's a 10/10 for me.

The nutmeg note is super successful here!
I think it already holds up well.

Do you still have the old one, i.e. the one shown in the bottle?
