"Boss Orange Man" at a high level - naturally fresh apple-tobacco Italian
Indeed! That was my first impression in the initial minutes of smelling!

Purchased as a sample due to the praise from Cappellusman (below me), I initially thought I would encounter a second "Boss Orange Man" here.

It really starts off apple-like, fundamentally fruity, with the pineapple from "Cool Water" also being close by. Lavender plays a clean background role, ensuring it doesn't become too fruity, but rather quite serious.

And I can only happily say that "Baldinini Man" develops at a completely different level than the clumsy, intrusive, and aromatically flat Boss fragrance, which I once owned as well.

Cappellusman already mentioned it: Naturalness is highly valued in Baldinini. The emerging aromas are finely tuned to each other and are by no means intrusive.

The apple-fruity start transforms into a slightly sweet-woody direction. The guaiac wood is quite refined; one knows it, often used brutally and almost rubbery in many newer men's fragrances.

The cinnamon adds a subtly sweet aspect, but so moderately that the fragrance would not only be suitable as an autumn or even winter scent.

Overall, the composition remains quite light, accessible, and fundamentally fresh, with fresh meaning more fruity.

With the onset of the emerging base notes, the cinnamon almost completely fades away, making room for soft, slightly darker, and drier tobacco notes as well as minimalistic earthy patchouli nuances. In terms of evolution, it is a remarkable fragrance.

Everything that "Boss Orange Man" does wrong in its coarsely knitted, clumsy design, "Baldinini" does finer, more skillfully, more contoured, simply better.

Especially fans of Creed's "Aventus" are likely to enjoy "Baldinini Man" stylistically, also due to the friendly price structure.

Naturalness and Class Were Still Present in 2008...
... Mr. Davidoff, Mr. Boss, and Mr. Gucci. The unknown niche Italians show us how it's done....

One of the advantages of engaging with a "niche area" here is that you get to know fragrances that hardly anyone else possesses, and that you can write an unbiased first impression. Let's go...

Since I have developed a fondness for the little-known Italian fragrances (those not from Armani, Gucci, Cerruti, etc.) available here, I have tried quite a few; I have not been disappointed even once and have never had the impression of synthetic notes in my nose. This has become increasingly important to me with growing fragrance experience and is now even the main criterion for a downgrade here; as soon as a fragrance smells synthetic, no matter how well it is made otherwise, I will almost never rate it positively.

Enough of the introduction, now to the scent: It starts a bit sharp and not exactly defensively, as well as fruity and spicy. Reserved is different. However, it is never intrusive. In the heart note, there is a well-equipped Tuscan herb garden represented. An (not even listed in the fragrance pyramid) intense citrus accord joins in, before the scent gently and nobly fades away.

This convinces me and makes me unhesitatingly reach for the 90%. I own the EdC, and even its longevity makes most of the EdTs available today look old in comparison.

"Baldinini Man" is available online at a reasonable price and is definitely worth a sniff for lovers of spicy-citrusy-natural fragrances.

Fruity-spicy opening with apple. Then tobacco notes come through. Occasionally synthetic, but still a great scent for the price.

Deluxe pipe tobacco. Reminds me a bit of Kiton Napoli but smokier. Like black cardamom pods. More for fall and winter. P/L top!

Apple & pine apple with sharp aftershave charm on brown-leafed musk fluff. A little gold chain is already hanging around the scent...
