Citrusy Juniper with Very Good Longevity
I just finished my first wearing with Benetton Nero. This one is going into my regular rotation for spring and summer fragrances. It is a very fresh and crisp fragrance that is easy to wear, inoffensive, and lasts a long time for an inexpensive one.

The opening is a fairly sharp grapefruit, a lighter tangerine, a rich but delicate juniper berry and a hint of mint. It smells like a very refreshing summer gin drink to me.

As it settles down, you start getting some of the woodiness, and a little sharp bite of nutmeg and patchouli. It's very comforting and very pleasant. Finally, it dries down to a soft woody musk skin scent that starts disappearing at the 10 hour mark.

I was delighted with this scent for the price point. It smells wonderful, is nicely blended and it sticks for the entire day without being cloying or offensive. It's not a perfume masterpiece, but it's a very good scent that can be had for very little online. I would give it a sound 8 out 10.

Thank you, Nero!
Who would have thought it, certainly not me, it's been years since I last had my first bottle of Joop! What about Adam, this citrusy fruity top note, in the drydown the sweet notes mixed with wood and vetiver, oaah.

I haven't had this scent under my nose since the late 90s, but when I used Nero these days and again today, I knew it, it has the same fruity citrus top note and the same sweet notes followed as with Adam, I have never experienced a fragrance that came so close to it.
Sure, with Joop! the apple is the theme, but you hardly notice it unless you become a nitpicker, I enjoyed every single minute today, they are so similar.
One must of course understand a Benetton quality beforehand, I'm not saying that Nero would be a competitor to Adam, but I'd rather have a Nero than not have had Joop Adam for sure for 11 or 12 years now, and I don't think I ever will again, except for the bay.

The youthful-looking, relatively decent bottle fits quite well with these Benetton jeans types.
Longevity is more around 6 hours, then very close to the skin.
Sillage, good in the first hour, then decreasing and unobtrusive.

I am really grateful to have found it, especially since I decided at the last moment between Benetton Verde and Nero, luckily!

Light fragrance for warmer days, starting fresh-citrusy, becoming spicy, and ending with a woody-creamy base - unfortunately too short.

A gentle, refreshing gin and tonic, enhanced with a splash of citrus soda, stirred in a wooden tub ... simply divine!
