... at a drugstore I trust, I stumbled, as could be expected, into the fragrance section. I looked at the selection and my eagle eye spotted the flacons from Carlo Colucci. I liked them. So, I grabbed the scent sticks and sprayed a bit. UPS, he and his brother have something going on, and that piqued my curiosity. Without much thought, each flacon under € 30.00 and then an additional 10% discount, OK, you’re coming with me, no objections. Just the packaging and the flacon caught my attention, as they stand out for a drugstore fragrance.
Upon applying this scent, the first thing that hits the nose is a warm, slightly spicy pepper scent that is briefly played with by something fresh, before the iris makes its presence known with its powdery accent. In the background, something floral and resinous dances a little waltz, disappearing into a dark, smoky cloud. The pepper and the powdery notes are not pushed aside but rather unite with it. In the end, the woods also want to assert their influence. This scent thus acquires a strong masculine accord.
The longevity and sillage are good.
Here we have a masculine men’s fragrance that is slightly playful but still too mature to really be for teenagers, rather for guys with a decent beard growth; a bit of hair on the chest doesn’t hurt either. I can’t really imagine it on anyone younger. For the ladies, it is simply too masculine in my nose. It is an all-rounder that works well except on the hottest days. It can easily be classified as a mainstream scent that is just as suitable for daytime at university, in the office, while dining or shopping, as it is for an evening at a party, in a bar, in a club, or even on a date.
Anyone who enjoys a warm, spicy, masculine, powdery, floral, resinous pepper scent with dark smoky accords will find a good deal here for a small price, and for a drugstore fragrance that is not really commonplace.
