Krizia Uomo Krizia 1983 Eau de Toilette

The opening of Uomo is fruity and fresh classic out of barbershop style. Nevertheless, this is only for the beginning and it's subjective. The main core of the fragrance immediately appears with waxy leathery aldehyde and mossy pattern. It is softened by junipers and carnation. For the base of the fragrance you have perfect role of dense Iso E Super mingled with leather and moss.

Uomo has very near similarity to Jacques Bogart One Man Show, as marked by other, and slight similarities to Gengis Khan by Marc de la Morandiere.

Longevity 8/10
Sillage 6/10
Scent: if you're in classics you probably love it or tempt to have it in your collection, but if you're not you skip over it after it settles in middle layer.

Finally, after a month of waiting, Krizia, bought blindly from San Diego, arrived. In Europe, pepper is expensive and hard to find. What can I say about it... In the opening, vetiver prevails, which I did not particularly like, considering that I already have Guerlain's. However, it doesn't last long. After a few minutes, it simply disappears and something else remains on the skin, something much more beautiful and pleasant. I don't know how to describe that combination of aromas and scents, but I'm sure I wasn't wrong and I think this is one of the best perfumes I've had so far. After ten minutes of application, my wife thought that I had put on some other fragrance in the meantime... Krizia is beautiful

Krizia Uomo is one of those gems that really should be more well known by the general public than it is. It is definitely a green scent and as crisp as mountain air. There is a definite similarity with other green fragrances like Polo, Pino Silvestre and One Man Show, but is probably more wearable than any of them. It lacks the pungency of Polo, is not as herbal as Pino Silvestre and is not as strong as One Man Show. Krizia Uomo is most like One Man Show, but not quote as nostril -burning in strength. It does, however, have a big dose of juniper, which underpins the piney aspect and some people might find this hard to handle. Perry Ellis 360 degrees also has a ton of Juniper and that is one I find to be a bit disconcerting, if not quite nauseating.

The only real qualm I have is that the bottle I have has a faulty sprayer. It has one of those 'spray through the lid' type of arrangements that Paco Rabanne (original), Sung Homme and other fragrances have. The housing around the nozzle seems to prevent the it from moving properly and it sprayed erratically. As a result, I pulled it apart and just put the nozzle back on the sprayer tube without the housing, it works okay now.

This is a really classy cologne and can be picked up quite cheaply.

Anisic artemisia, basil and minty geranium
in a fresh herb garden
juniper sports its raw blue berries
and cold pine on wind from the hills
Mandarins and lemons lie on a vinyl cover
near a bleached wooden chair
clove pinks flower beneath
that an animal will root up
with rich leaf mould and vetiver.

About a month ago I wrote a scathing review about this fragrance saying that it was not my favorite and I didn't expect much. However after wearing it a few more times I decided to change my perspective and my thoughts and my opinions and I am now here to say that this is a very nice fragrance a nice forest in green fragrance but what I like best about it is the lovely lovely dry down after a few hours on the skin. It really had me fooled. Patience is definitely a virtue
