L'Uomo Trussardi Trussardi 1995 Eau de Toilette

The house of Trussardi has already produced some good fragrances that have also been commercially successful. They are certainly part of the mainstream, yet fragrances like Donna White or Trussardi Uomo are not the worst. Overall, the people there know very well what they are doing and what they are bringing to the market.

So it is here as well: a fresh, green scent that, after the top notes fade, references classic woods and also lets a bit of spice shine through. Towards the end, it becomes pleasantly warm, yet it remains distinctly a fresh men’s fragrance. I don’t really smell any florals; I would have to lie if I said otherwise, but the woods are absolutely clear. A mainstream scent, nothing special, but it could definitely find its place in the broad range of mediocrity, even if the longevity tends towards zero.

However, there is something that bothers me quite a bit about L'Uomo Trussardi - and hence the title: a disturbing, medicinal note runs through from the top to the base notes, which bears a strong resemblance to Voltaren pain gel. At first, I thought my sample had gone bad, but another one produced the same result. I was sure when my husband asked, "Does something hurt?" Great, that’s something you love to hear. oO

So who could wear L'Uomo Trussardi? Dr. House? Never. Dr. Brinkmann? More likely. But probably only the mountain doctor. He must have picked that up from the country doctor...
