I've found it!

Luckly i've found this scent left alone in a shelf at Buenos Aires. I did not think twice: bought it.

Smells like a classic woody-vetiver fragrance, it has a good lasting power, sillage and projection.

The geranium and musk gives it an edge over many vetiver based fragrances.

Not your next discontinued holy grail

Theorema Uomo is a fresh woody thingy without praise or blame; synthetic woods (vetiver is listed: I just get some generic wood feel), pepper and other spices, citrus notes, a slight ozonic feel, perhaps some classic masculine flowers on the fresh side like geranium or lavender, herbal notes. I admit the woody notes are as much artificial as unusually crisp and sharp, and overall it has a sort of Mediterranean pleasant feel of “fresh nature”, but overall I consider Theorema Uomo a dull scent – a fresh, office-safe fragrance like hundreds of others. Contrary to its feminine companion, which is one of the greatest perfumes of the last couple of decades, this is highly neglectable.

This isn't as remarkable as its feminine counterpart, but it's a great casual and office scent. It does have,as some mentioned bellow, a kind of fresh-fruity opening, but on me it doesn't last too much. It morphs into a mixture of green, peppery, woody and musky nuances, that seems tuned to pass a clean and quiet longlasting impression. I'd say that the peppery part is the most noticeable from the combination, but it's not so intense. It's really pleasant on summer days and i think it's worthy if you find for a good price.

Supreme Elegance

Intelligent citrus fragrances are rare - the challenge of a scent that refreshes effortlessly while being highly complex requires a truly great perfumer. Jacques Cavallier can undoubtedly claim this title, and with Theorema Uomo, he once again demonstrated his skill in 2001.
The strong bergamot note gives this fragrance a bitter green citrus freshness, which is enhanced by a congenially woven aromatic-floral geranium that adds volume. This wonderful accord seamlessly transitions into the subtle heart complex of green (cardamom-vetiver) woody (vetiver-cedar) spiciness (cardamom-nutmeg) - absolutely brilliant. Equally calm, the base embraces the dusty-green heart elements with a hint of warm powderiness and only the faintest sweetness, controlled by green and wood, a warmth that is light-years away from the brash Ambrox wood hammer of common men’s fragrances.
Theorema Uomo embodies the high art of the intertwined French perfumery style of the old school, offering a perfect olfactory expression of sublime yet always effortless Italian elegance, which ideally complements the style of a light summer suit by Attolini.

Maximum Difference

… or something similar could have been the letter from Fendi to Jacques Cavallier. Maximum difference from Fendi Uomo from 1988, the balsamic, almost cinnamon-gourmand debut work of the company from the late 80s, an Italian Antaeus or Mediterranean Bel Ami, including an advertising campaign set in Roman antiquity in Renaissance pose, partly photographed by Lagerfeld.

And the difference could hardly have been greater. Cavallier, now referred to only by the double name Cavallier-Belletrud, was involved in a multitude of various and successful blockbusters in the 90s. Perhaps Fendi simply wanted an eau à la Issey. Yet Cavallier's result is one of the lightest, most transparent, and greenest organza fabrics I have encountered. Other fragrances, especially from the designer sector of that time, feel like the heaviest walkloden in comparison; Comme des Garçons Series 1: Leaves comes close to Theorema Uomo, as do a few of the Guerlain Allegorias, and later some of the Ellena Hermessences, but Fendi remains more of a conventional perfume than a reduced-skilled staging of ingredients. Theorema is once-perfumed cut meadow grass, or its industrially produced counterpart, without a plastic note in a slightly aquatic mist of geranium, mint, vetiver, bergamot, nutmeg, and cardamom. The oscillation is successful; the perfume appears artificial and woven enough not only to hallucinate impressionistic gardening constructs; identifying the suspected notes is difficult, even if one were to multiply the powers many times over, perhaps one would eventually land near Geranium pour Monsieur's mint-geranium-musk trio. Theorema remains synthetic and ultra-light. Werner Sobek writes, "Designing in lightweight construction is the search for the lightest possible … reduction to a previously unimaginable minimum …". Theorema Uomo is not even minimal in the sense that it focuses on a reduction of one, two, or three ingredients; it appears like a broad-spectrum spray, diffuse, temporary, fleeting, lightweight, yet voluminous and still in a stripped-down 90s outfit. Outlines of a facade behind misty clouds, somewhere in the Po Valley, or in the suburbs of Milan. Melancholic? Perhaps that was too much Fendi, too much a water through which a whole armada of greenest ingredients sailed by, and, thanks to sufficient osmosis, an impressively fleeting eau was created.

Theorema Uomo comes in light green liquid, it couldn't fit better, in a functionally designed bottle, reduced, when one thinks of Uomo's meticulous terrazzo gold monstrance. Whether the fascinating name has anything to do with Pasolini's eponymous 1968 film, Teorema - without 'h' - is still unclear to me; Theorema is not particularly enchanting. The more opulent ladies' version of Theorema from 1998 or the Fendi fragrances of the 80s perhaps had more to do with this bourgeoisie.
