Just Silence and a Pipe to Smoke!
Hmm… sometimes you wonder how manufacturers come up with certain names for fragrances. Like here with Omertà, which refers to the code of silence among criminals, something you might know primarily from various mafia movies.
It’s quite possible that the manufacturer or at least the person responsible for naming watched a few gangster films shortly before and was so fascinated that they thought they could take a name from a criminal milieu, and honestly, such a name is definitely much more interesting than a simple “For Men” or something like that, right?
However… does the fragrance smell gangster-like? And in general? How do gangsters smell? Or to put it another way? What does Omertà smell like? Since it actually means a code of silence where you learn nothing, the scent should logically… smell like nothing,… or not? :DD
A little later, the sweet notes lose their fruity undertone, so that they now smell like those vanilla pipes together with the tobacco. By the way, oud remains quite subtle, like the whiskey, well, maybe a bit stronger than the drink.
In the base, the fragrance smells even sweeter because of the vanilla, which is actually the strongest base note. Oud remains low, and to be honest, the oud even comes across to me a bit like myrrh. In any case, a nice scent, although a bit unspectacular.
The longevity is, as you might guess, quite good due to the vanilla and lasts longer than ten hours.
Hmm… the name Omertà might fit this fragrance. Why? Well, the scent mostly smells of vanilla and tobacco, reminding one of vanilla pipes. This means, in the spirit of discretion, it’s almost as if you would light a pipe to enjoy smoking it without spilling a “word of death” :D
The scent smells nice but not really special. Moreover, it is more masculine than unisex. I think it can be well used during the day, like at work or elsewhere, and for those who don’t want to stand out too much, they can of course wear it in the evening as well. The use of a fragrance is, after all, a matter of taste and left to everyone’s discretion. I think this one fits any season, really…
Hmm…
What do you think the namer of this fragrance is thinking right now? … I’m sure he’s crying when he sees how cool Robert de Niro was in gangster roles, which he could absolutely play super well, and his current films, well, not all of them come close to the class of his earlier films.
But you never know, after all, de Niro is supposed to be working with Martin Scorsese again on a new gangster film, which not only stars Al Pacino but also Joe Pesci for the first time in so long! Waah, I’m really looking forward to it!!!
So, I wish everyone a nice evening here, and don’t forget: Tune in again tomorrow! … Ugh, what a terrible phrase! :DD

The Fragrance:
Uhh, the fragrance liquid seems to be a bit oilier than one is used to, just as a side note! I immediately smell tobacco at the beginning, along with sweet notes from the vanilla. However, these sweet notes from the vanilla also seem a bit fruity to me. The oud starts off rather resinous and even reminded me more of incense at first, before the oud scent became more recognizable. You can smell whiskey, but it quickly fades and, in my opinion, falls a bit into the background. A little later, the sweet notes lose their fruity undertone, so that they now smell like those vanilla pipes together with the tobacco. By the way, oud remains quite subtle, like the whiskey, well, maybe a bit stronger than the drink.
In the base, the fragrance smells even sweeter because of the vanilla, which is actually the strongest base note. Oud remains low, and to be honest, the oud even comes across to me a bit like myrrh. In any case, a nice scent, although a bit unspectacular.
The Sillage and Longevity:
The projection is above average or almost good, meaning you don’t have to get too close to smell the fragrance on someone for a while. In the middle part, the scent does become more subtle, but later in the base, it projects better again because of the vanilla. The longevity is, as you might guess, quite good due to the vanilla and lasts longer than ten hours.
The Bottle:
The bottle resembles those from Dua Fragrances and is quite simple. It is presumably of high quality, but visually it looks rather practical and therefore not particularly beautiful. Interestingly, Dua Fragrances has a fragrance called “Festivus With The Mobster”! A coincidence? :DHmm… the name Omertà might fit this fragrance. Why?
