Black Gold, Petroleum, Badass Leather
Ferrari Uomo is one of the most impressive cheap blind buys I have ever made. It is a floral leather scent that is a distant relative of Dior Fahrenheit. Anyway, if you like Ferrari Uomo, by all means, buy it. It's a pleasant scent that's truly exceptional value for money. Just do it with your eyes open.
The fragrance opens with Sicilian lemon, juniper berries, and Calabrian bergamot, all from the south of Italy. Although there are plenty of citrus notes, I can barely get them. I was pretty surprised not to smell any of the citrus notes throughout their lifespan on my skin. Aromatic Juniper definitely stands out, dominating the scene. From the very beginning, the fragrance is reminiscent of black gold, petroleum, and badass raw leather.
The heart introduces spicy nutmeg, and woody cedar notes. After the initial 5 minutes, the leather kicks in, grows, and that's when this is a beauty. The wood lingers around at the back, but the leather is prominent. When I say 'prominent,' I do not mean it in the wrong way. But you have to like the leather note in cologne, the rude one, to like this one. It is raw, wild, like a horse's saddle after a race. It is pretty animalistic but creamy and a touch sweet, perhaps both due to the tonka beans.
The base is off-dry patchouli, rich and dark, with sweet and ambery tonka that is quite pleasant if nothing special, but the long-lasting leathery middle dominates this scent.
The comparisons with Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette are reasonable but seem exaggerated. Ferrari Uomo lacks violet notes and has a more animalistic leather smell. In the heart, however, some faces are familiar to both.
Overall, Uomo is a sophisticated/classic fragrance best used for a fall romantic evening at a classy establishment or for a mature gentleman at work or leisure. It's amazing. Projections and longevity are moderate, but still suitable for a night out or an evening out.
I base the review and opinion on a bottle I have owned since August 2016.
