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.
Ebay helps. But it's truly unfortunate that, as in so many areas, the stable coalition of profit-driven and visionless manufacturers and clueless "bargain-hunting" consumers lets such treasures die on the market.
I feel the same as Aava - the women's version is already a sadly discontinued dream, and the men's fragrance seems to be such a special gem as well. It's such a shame!
The fact that Theorema has disappeared from the market is a real loss - I've been missing the women's version for a long time. However, the men's version also seems to be something very special.
