Hunter of the night

Everything was as it was. Time was infinite. The youth so wild and unconcerned free. Free from worries, free from guilt and the question of tomorrow. The nights were for living out. My skin almost unstained by perfume, and then you came Versace L'Homme. You were the firstborn. Made from Giannis dreams and desires. The quintessence of his work. A scent like the overflowing testosterone in my body. So wild, so unrestrained, so unrestrained manly. Out into the nights. On your skin. Still wet on the chest and neck of Versace L'Homme. The night was still as fresh and young as the scent of basil and bergamot, your notes are as green as the envy of the other young men who perceived it. You were the key and the tickets to so many hearts. With you, I've danced the nights wild. I'm off the hook with you. Sweaty and wet and happy to tackle the house music in my head and body. Your scent was always around me. The scent of bitter cloves, moist warm patchouli, spicy warm cinnamon and soft sandalwood. I smoked with you at the bars and I went through the clubs with you. You have been a scent like a tattoo of Gianni herself engraved in the most dazzling colors of masculinity on my skin. You have followed me indelibly through the bars, nights and my life and never left me. Versace L'Homme You yourself were still there at dawn the next morning. Still wet the hair and T-shirt from the dance through the night and the warm scent of oakmoss and vanilla-tender-green leather on the skin. With you I have gone towards the morning. But also often alone in pairs. Versace L'Homme with you I have laughed, lived and loved. You were the scent for a man I wasn't yet. But who I am now. So many voices in my ear: -You smell so good! -. So many beautiful moments. So many compliments. Now I've long been the man privileged to carry you. I have the maturity, the sovereignty and the experience for you. We have walked a long way together and will probably also end it together one distant day. Many have come and many have gone, but Versace L'Homme will always remain like one of the many tattoos on my skin and soul. Versace L'Homme You're a man through and through. Incredibly masculine, incredibly charismatic and infinitely timeless!

Vanity coupled with self-irony is acceptable.
-Gianni Versace-

Che bella luna, non tirare...

So to be honest, I get these urine stone associations, which some of you have expressed here in connection with the scent, when you apply it, not out of your head... The same with Grey Flannell. The (sorry) stupid association doesn't deny me the joy of the two fragrances, but it always reminds me of this picture - the pastel-colored sight of the stones in question during the micturition, better known as peeing. Nevertheless, the fragrance contributes a lot to my Dolce Vita and supports my evening "dolce far niente"... i in my sauce-spattered white undershirt, a plate full of spaghetti Bolognese in front of me, in my right hand a completely overloaded fork of the same favorite, then suddenly pausing - no, sounds too much like Marco Ferreri's "The Big Eat"... nicolas Cage, completely sweaty, desperate and muscle-bound with a prosthesis in the bakery, is more likely to occur to me...
That's bullshit.
Marcello Mastroianni in "Eight and a Half" in an (I think) English sports car, casual with the obligatory cigarette in the corner of his mouth... That's the picture. Visconti would certainly have liked the scent mixed with the smell of tobacco. Immediately the unspeakable Helmut Berger comes around the corner - tuntig with the left his Entourage conducting. Now that's good...
As always, everything was said "bello" about the fragrance. The initially natural lemon, the ginger - all rich and wonderfully creamy, male elegance in the overall impression. The already once abused casual, grey-mottled Italian, all in black, followed by his bare-breasted entourage....
Somehow I also have the footballer Andrea Pirlo in my head all the time, how he is impregnated by the smell on the court... There are enough pictures....
The scent is just "Bravo!" Unagitated, uneven elegance..

Half masterpiece, but really good when it's good.

There are already a lot of good reviews about this great cologne, so I'll just mention a few more here.

1. The positive side of it is that it's incredibly sophisticated and high quality, priced at just over $20 for 100ml. I personally consider Versace L'Homme like the 2000s version of Cartier Santos with soapy water instead of sandalwood cream, or Armani Eau Pour Homme with green grass instead of lavender.

2. It was released in the mid 80s, but has some vibes of the 70s. In particular, the opening of Herbal Lemons, which would have been clearly considered old school in 1984 too. That's why it is decisively different from the colognes of the 80s what like muscular machos with exposed chest hair. I get images from Versace L'Homme like a casino and a black tuxedo, a long hairstyle that covers the ears, and a brightly lit chandelier.

3. The problem is the old school lemon and musk. Lemon citric acid can be found today in many areas of life, from dishwashers and toilet fresheners to anti-Covid-19 hand sanitizers. That's why the old school lemon on top of dirty musk are often reminded of the odor of toilet bowls or urine. Recently, I've been impressed a lot with Rochas Moustache Original (version 2018), and it also has the same problem. It smells like an old luxury hotel, but at the same time it smells like a toilet. Anyone who likes classic men's colognes will easily understand what I mean.

4. Anyway, Versace L'Homme is a cologne that is heavily influenced by season and weather. It doesn't always work in its best condition. In summer, especially on wet days in summer, the lemon comes out seriously too much and smells like a toilet bowl. On the other hand, on a very cold day when the temperature is below freezing, the herbal notes are clumped and the soapy water part is too prominent, and at that time it smells like a laundry detergent.

5. However, on days that are neither too hot nor too cold, it works very well. Based on South Korea where I'm living, it is around May, September, and October. When the temperature is around 10~15 degrees Celsius. At this time, you can clearly recognize both fine and rich green herbal notes, cinnamon that tastes almost delicious mixed with spicy carnation, woody notes that add mildness, and classic tonka vanilla. It is considered like a cologne that is five or ten times more expensive than the price. Of course there's no smell of urine at all.

6. The current version seems to have almost no oakmoss. Nevertheless, Versace L'Homme lasts quite a bit. Rather than just sticking on the skin, it has a type of scent that is absorbed in the body and gently emanated. If you think this cologne has a nasty smell of urine or something, leave it as it is, and try it again in another season. If limited to autumn (and a bit of spring), it scents like a timeless masterpiece.

P.s. Sorry for my insufficient English sentences.

Warning! Not for the faint of heart...

I borrowed this at the gym from a friend after a workout (mental note: always remember your personal smells) and yes, he is about five years older than me. Anyway I gave two sprays of this beast to the chest and two to the neck and BAZINGA! : instantly I was Cologne Guy oozing man from the mid-eighties. This stuff should be labelled as nuclear. The lemon and basil opening slowly gives room to the rose and carnation mixed with a chemical cedar. I'm aware that several Versaces are soapy and powdery, but this is ridiculous : I smelt like I had smeared myself all over with my Grandmothers hand soap bar. This stuff is VERY masculine and only for adults. After 2-3 hours I had to give up and take a scrub.
Extremely oldschool - thanks, but no thanks.

Takes you back

To put it bluntly, outside of Azzaro Pour Homme, YSL Kouros, and Aramis/Tuscany, this Oriental Chypre, Versace L'Homme, deserves to slide right in with these big boys. An 80s statement fragrance if there ever was one with tons of notes, miles of character and hours of longevity. This fragrance is tops with me because of the chemistry makeup and the fact that it's simply quality in a bottle. Though for the life of me I can't understand why this fragrance is not considered one of Versace's finest. I think I may know the answer but I'll keep my bashing millennial comments to myself. I proudly spritz this on and I'm good for the entire day and out of all the different fragrances I wear THIS ONE gets me the most compliments which is always nice to hear. This fragrance has it all and the only thing left to do is to find a bottle from the early 1980s because I'm a vintage collector and I'm guessing that's the best formulation.
