Nessun dorma on this one!

*Not to be confused with the "Pavarotti Luciano" frag that comes in a green box.*

At first I thought the atomizer was weak, but it actually works well if you apply brute force.

Visions of Pavarotti's fat ass singing in a tux made me assume this would be a talcum powder bomb. Thankfully it is not. It opens with dollops of honey and spicy citrus, which somehow remind me of a restrained Denim Original EDT. But that's where the similarities end because here it is followed by patchouli and oakmoss and it also gets powdery in the dry-down, but not much.

Longevity and projection are both moderate. Pavarotti For Men is an underrated classy scent. Such quality is highly unusual in a celebrity fragrance - the only other one I enjoy and own is Alain Delon Iquitos. It might be more suitable for formal occasions, but I don't care, heck I even wear it for work zoom calls when I want to feel professional.

Masculinity Level: JFK diligently working at his desk.

Dry Honeyed Patchouli...

Luciano Pavarotti opens with a nose tingling blast of bergamot and lemon underpinned by slightly grassy verbena before quickly moving to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart a creamy iris is unveiled, supporting an almost dusty dulled rose, soft patchouli and powdery green oakmoss trio that's overall accord takes the fore, with a relatively dry opoponax derived honey, moderately soft leather , warm woods and slightly sweet vanilla derived accord as co-star. During the late dry-down the composition stays moderately powdery/dusty, with the powdery green oakmoss remaining prominent with remnants of the patchouli and benzoin enhanced vanilla hanging around through the finish. Projection is average, but longevity stellar at well over 15 hours on skin.

This is a tough one to crack, as Luciano Pavarotti is an extremely complex perfume with a gob of ingredients. I have heard comparisons to vintage compositions like Givenchy Gentleman and Giorgio for Men, along with more modern compositions like Dia Man, but honestly I don't get much comparison with any of them save for some similar ingredients used. If I were to attempt any kind of comparison, Luciano Pavarotti has a *passing* resemblance to the excellent, but rare vintage Bugatti Blue Bottle, but that doesn't come close to nailing the composition down fragrance profile-wise, instead being more of a starting point. The composition has a very dusty quality to it throughout, also coming off as powdery (from the significant oakmoss used that focuses near-solely on its powdery facet), but also warm woody, dry, slightly sweet, with dulled rose florals and relatively sanitized soft, dry honey infused patchouli throughout. Finally, a supporting leather facet that underpins the works is not quite suede, but more soft than rugged. It all comes together rather nicely with nothing appearing out of place, but the dust and powder do somewhat detract from the end result, especially to this power-averse writer. Make no mistake, I like Luciano Pavarotti plenty, but just can't quite get to "love." The bottom line is the long-since discontinued $90 per 75ml bottle on the aftermarket Luciano Pavarotti has an appealing dandy-like complex fragrance profile that for the most part hits the mark, only marred by its abundant focus on gentle dust and powder that keeps it from a higher rating and outright love, earning a "very good" 3.5 stars out of 5 and a solid recommendation to vintage perfume collectors who are not heavily powder-averse.
