Uomo Baldessarini 2023

Uomo is a pleasant, woody, fresh-spicy fragrance that gives me certain Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum vibes. There's also a good dose of powderiness here.

The longevity is around 5 to 6 hours on the skin, which is not optimal, but not bad either. The sillage is subtle, as it stays quite close to the skin and works unobtrusively in the background. On warmer days, it is definitely very versatile and carefree to wear.

I managed to snag it for a bargain price of CHF 14.90 (50ml bottle along with the 200ml shower gel). At this price, I find it absolutely recommendable. However, at prices over CHF 30.-, I would pass, as it is not something truly special that you absolutely need to have right now.

The Uomo is likely not a fragrance that will cause much controversy. I find it quite pleasant, even though it features a considerable amount of synthetic elements alongside its freshness. However, the performance leaves something to be desired. The longevity on my skin is around 6 hours with a rather weak sillage.

The top note starts off very fresh but also synthetic with a lot of bergamot and lemon peel. It also has a green, spicy, and slightly herbal scent of ginger, clary sage, black pepper, and a bit of cardamom. The heart note smells a bit floral and powdery with iris, violet, lily of the valley, daffodils, and jasmine flowers - again, in a somewhat synthetic manner. The base has a slightly sweet, resinous, and woody scent with aromas of sandalwood, ambroxan, and cedarwood.

I find the Uomo quite solid. I would like to sincerely thank Carsten for the manufacturer sample and also for the great bottles from "Desert Sultan Sapphire | Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية" and Midnight.
