Uomo? by Moschino

I picked it up in Italy and was instantly smitten. I wore it here in Argentina and people kept asking what I had on because it smelled so good. I’d recommend it 100%.

I love finding ‘forgotten gems’ like this, without the hype or outrageous prices. For around $25 you get the 125ml version. It’s an animal, fresh, and floral/sweet fragrance. At first it seems unisex, but as it dries down, it feels more masculine. Ideal for everyday wear. Yes, it can feel a bit synthetic at first, but it becomes elegant, youthful and attractive once dried. I’d give it an 8/10 because the longevity and projection could be better.

It’s fresh with a bitter twist, perfect for hot weather. It has a citrus opening but isn’t the typical citrus; it’s slightly bitter, soapy, clean, and has a faint powdery note, like barbershop shaving foam or certain laundry soaps. I thought it would be more talcum-like, but if you’re looking for that, you won’t find it here. I’d recommend it for anyone wanting something informal, fresh, but not your typical fresh fragrance.

What a lovely surprise with this Moschino Uomo. I’ve wanted to try it for ages but couldn’t find it in perfumeries. Last year I spotted it on a ferry from Algeciras to Morocco, at just £21 for 75ml. Without hesitation, I bought it blind. It’s 100% Italian style, opening with kumquat citrus (in my country, Argentina, we call it quinoto). After 20 minutes, it becomes soapy due to the floral notes. It’s very clean, versatile, and timeless. Perhaps the only weak point is longevity, which doesn’t exceed five hours on my skin. But it was a great purchase; I’d recommend it.

It reminds me of when I used to go to the hairdresser and they’d spray me before finishing the cut. Classic citrus aroma. Nothing particularly novel. Good value. Suitable for the office; it’s not intrusive and has a gentle presence. It delivers; don’t expect too much from it.

Your lifesaver against 30-degree days with a white shirt. A stylish fragrance that lasts and projects without any issues.

Delicious and nothing conventional: extremely clean with almost pasty sweet oranges. Features low flowers and a lovely combo of musk and ambergris. Coriander and cinnamon appear spontaneously. Lasts 6-7 hours; projection becomes intimate after the first hour, but I will definitely buy it again.

I love it; it’s like baby cologne evolved for adults. It brings me peace, I even use it to sleep in and wake up to the scent. Not for everyone, but if you seek something that evolves and isn’t linear, give it a try. Smells of citrus, talc, woods, and a distinct cleanliness. Plus, it has a ridiculous price.

Short and different: not marine or sweet, but fresh, floral, clean, and classy, almost unisex. I loved it, my wife loved it even more, so much that she stole it. Ideal for someone who radiates order and tenderness. If you only wear leather scents, this might seem like a woman’s perfume to you, but to me, who hates animal smells, I absolutely love it.

Batch 2019, a 90s masterpiece that smells vintage but isn’t boring. Today UOMO lasts about 5 hours, dries quickly, and projects little; it’s a skin scent. On paper it smells like bargain floor cleaner, but on skin it’s a charming soft floral with a sweet, musky dry-down. A blend of soft cinnamon, white flowers, and light vanillin. Women will adore it for that floral touch. It was one of the first to embrace 90s unisex. It’s fresh, relaxed, and charming, nothing invasive. The price today is laughable: 25-30 euros for 125 ml. If you seek longevity or something very masculine, look elsewhere; this one fades.

An old-fashioned and classic scent, not very strong but good for daytime. It smells a bit cheap and alcoholic, but as a cologne it is fine. At the moment it has a very reasonable price.

It starts with a certain bitter citrus, then moves to an aromatic floral and finally settles closer to the skin. It is not sweet, but a refined masculine scent with that Italian stamp for mild climates, ideal for informal occasions or something slightly more serious, all daytime. A citrus that is not the typical sugary trend, a good option to vary the collection. Medium performance on skin, not much projection but with a notable opening. 125 ml bottle, made in Italy with good value for money.

In my opinion, it’s a superb fragrance. It stands apart from all the aquatic scents dominating the market right now. Citrusy at first, slightly powdery, and then it dries down to a wonderful Italian elegance. It’s not for everyone, but the first time it dried down on me, it was absolutely mind-blowing. I’m now on my second bottle because I discovered it too late. Plus, considering the price, believe me, it’s worth every penny. Just a tip: test it before buying 😉

Let’s see how to explain it… It’s a fragrance I doubt anyone would dislike, yet it’s rare. I can’t see any resemblance to anything I know, perhaps a distant echo of the floral notes in Le Male, but that’s not really it. It’s powdery, floral, faintly citrusy, and quite linear, with musk and cyclamen from start to finish. I find it very versatile for any daytime occasion throughout the year; in winter it might feel a bit light, but in spring and summer, you’ll get the most out of it. Suitable for men of all ages. Good longevity (6-7 hours), moderate projection (60-90 minutes). For the €20 I paid for 125 ml, I’m convinced the market still offers real treasures, and we must avoid falling into the trap of unregulated clones or Zara perfumes. Let’s bet on original, quality aromas that traditional houses provide. I recommend it, even blind.
