Forgotten Lemon Classic - Rightly So?
Wow, it seems I am actually the first one here. It's surprising that no one has commented on Signoricci yet, as the number of classic men's fragrances from the 60s is rather limited. Moreover, with a bit of luck, the scent can still be found at moderate prices.
It could be due to the appearance. The bottle doesn't exactly impress. Mine looks like the one up there in picture 4/4: bottom made of pressed glass, top of chrome-plated plastic. It seems more suited for an Allibert than a heavy marble washbasin. So, Eau Sauvage for the poor? Let's see…
Not at all, this is about elegance! The top note of my Signoricci is as beautiful as ever, despite its old age. Triple lemon punch in your face! Wow. With a good kick, lemons come around the corner, not the overly sour ones; here it sparkles bitter and slightly fruity. The first wave of lemons gives way to herbal and spicier citrus notes. On a light tobacco base, elegant and soft, the kick is provided by crisp green notes. Everything is perfectly intertwined. Simple, classic, fresh. Floating, transparent, and just a little refined.
I don't smell the pyramid candidates amber, tonka bean, and civet. Instead, there’s a good amount of vetiver and very fine cedar in the base; I sense the rose more… The whole thing (perfectly intertwined, did I mention that already?) is an elegant, indeed quite luxurious scent from another time. The interesting thing here is: it is both recognizable from the sixties and ahead of its time. Because there’s nothing broad-legged, masculine, or out of place here. Everything is light, floating, perfectly intertwined… okay, I’ll stop now. With some feminine, yet still distinct masculine notes. Signoricci plays in a league with the old Armani Eau Pour Homme for me, albeit more straightforward and much more summery and spritzier, and admittedly also less unique.
The scent never overwhelms me; it has nothing tiring, no "not this again," quite the opposite: every re-spray is a little cologne-like wake-up call. And you can’t go without re-spraying - we subtly come to the downsides. Unfortunately, the gentleman becomes quite close to the skin quickly; once there, it does last for several hours. But the momentum of the first hour is gone… well, there’s always something.
On the positive side, there remains a beautiful elegant summer scent: simultaneously modern and nostalgic in its fine strictness.
