Uomo Carlo Colucci 2003

I like it Ultra Ultra well

As mentioned, it's a spicy Italian but not intrusive with beautiful sweet base notes
It's just sad that it’s no longer being produced
I would love to have it again

I still have a well-preserved one that I never use because I'm afraid of losing it

What can you find among non-perfume fans who are moving? Among other things, 2 rare, discontinued Yves Rocher women's fragrances (Venice & Nature Millenaire), an empty Antaeus, and Carlo Corlucci's Uomo half full. Especially the former are true treasures according to eBay and have their fans. But this Colucci creation is also quite successful!

It smells very summery and Italian-spirited. Like a salty breeze on an Italian boardwalk. Reminds me of D&G PH or other peppery classics. But it could also be the enchanting combination of citrus and cinnamon + cardamom that places the fragrance exactly on my wavelength. In any case, it was far ahead of its relatives like Bang, while D&G copied the distinctive notes well. It hits pretty much the exact point of how sweet one can be in summer without being perceived as inappropriate and Christmas-like. A sage/nutmeg or patchouli keeps the scent distinctive and slightly prickly and interesting.

The bottle made of milk glass is beautiful and typically Italian like Roma, but I could imagine that it comes from the more affordable side. The sillage is ideally summery, and I can't shake the feeling that it could be a fragrance twin of a more famous scent. But certainly not one that I own. Longevity is also a reliable companion with 7 hours!

Definitely not an earth-shattering scent, but a likable 90s Italian, with chest hair and a sense of adventure... I would love to know the year of release and hear more opinions :)
