Pure E-motion Omerta
3
Honor where honor is due! The better No. III
I just tested my blind purchase Ungaro pour L'Homme III. Not bad, except for that cheap scent in the background, which you recognize from cheap shower gels or similar products. When you get closer, you can smell that unpleasant cheapness behind the coriander-lavender-mahogany-orange-lemon mix. I should mention, this is the 2019 version. I don't know the version before the reformation.
But all the while I thought, hey, I know this scent and it's much better without that cheap herb. What was the name of that black bottle from LaRive or another dupe???
I checked my collection and bingo!, Pure e-motion (silly name) from... OMERTA, alongside Black Onyx and Création Lamis, the better dupes.
I have some very well-made classics from OMERTA, but this Pure e-motion turns out, after being quite similar to Drakkar Noir, to be an even better scent than I could have imagined. Here you get the full fragrance nuance of No. III without the cheap herb in the background.
Who would have thought.
When I couldn't afford the originals yet, I started with the dupes at flea markets in the 90s, and I still have remnants that surpass every reformation of the original.
This allowed me to gain a lot of experience with fragrance twins and I can say that there have been very high-quality, sometimes even better versions (e.g. Bvlgari Black, the rubber tire, was found at Lamis in an incredibly better version or Burberry's Brit as Heirloom for Him from Lamis, both sold out!).
Thus, I can now absolutely recommend Pure e-Motion from OMERTA as a better version of Ungaro pour L'homme III. I know, one shouldn't really do that, but...
Honor where honor is due!
… and this dupe deserves it.
Meanwhile, even the good dupes are sold out and you pay almost as much for them as for the reformation of the original. It's already strange, Babylon.

the Ungaro isn't that expensive either... I initially picked up more of a shower gel vibe with E-motion (not unpleasant at all), but in the drydown, both are quite similar. If you like "masculine" scents that don't smell outdated, you'll be happy with both. Kudos to you, as I probably wouldn't have tried Omerta otherwise.
