Hello everyone,
today I would like to take a few words in advance that will surely be exciting for some.
Foreword 1:
When I found out at some point that there would be a stronger version of "Marzocco (Extrait de Parfum) | Roberto Ugolini," I already thought that the GOOD Mr. Stricker would eventually "pimp" the regular "17 Rosso | Roberto Ugolini," and apparently it worked out...
Foreword 2:
I have had the "17 Rosso | Roberto Ugolini" for quite a long time (over the years and several bottles) and I loved it; it was my go-to scent/ something I could grab without much thought, and it fit...
Foreword 3:
Anyway, when I found out that it was definitely coming, I had certain wishes... let's see if they were implemented!

About the scent:
First of all, it must be said that the core of "17 Rosso | Roberto Ugolini" is present (thankfully), it somehow feels like a facelift that brings it really well into the year. And it has NOT been ruined!
However, it must be said that the relatively dominant masculine rose is hardly present here, as it plays more with the fruits and an earthy (pleasant) creaminess and very nicely balanced woods...
The fact that this time more focus is placed on the raspberry is great, and yes, in my opinion, it fits very well, and NO, it has nothing to do with "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" +
Ombre Nomade because of the raspberry. The scent feels independent and, as I find, does a lot right and well (+).
How is it received and when do you wear something like this?
It is somewhat different from "17 Rosso | Roberto Ugolini," but in essence, it is absolutely the same; it works always, except in the height of summer - ALWAYS, and it is received just as well. It is almost uncanny how well it is received, regardless of whether young or old, woman or man, and no matter what time of day....
But indirectly, I expected exactly this...!
I am not a fan of what I am doing now, but I find it important to mention, and it concerns the PRICE! As of today, used ones are going for just over 250 (almost new), and considering the current prices being traded here (XJ, PDM, MFK, Roja, etc.), it borders on a fair price to even being inexpensive....
H/S:
As expected, very good (each) in the sense of a relaxed 11h and more; such performance nowadays is anything but bad and "UNFORTUNATELY" relatively rare to encounter today (with current batches).
Therefore, I give a clear test recommendation!
My sample ran out in no time, which in itself is a somewhat "suspicious" behavior...
And now, have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny
