  The citrus opening reminded me of the orange aroma of powdered juice. These notes are very synthetic along with the mint; nothing to do with the handling of citrus in fragrances like Hermes and Cartier (and even less for the fortunate ones who have niche). From the heart I felt the chamomile weakly, which wasn’t a good innovation to replace traditional florals like geranium or carnation. From the base, very weak: musk, amber, and a bit of patchouli. I felt the tobacco for nothing. The ending, if it had been good, could have saved something more of this fragrance, but it’s pure marketing. As a woody oriental done too much by the book, very unconvincing. I was already disappointed in the year of its launch, as I didn’t perceive it as the big thing, with that slogan that ‘separates men from boys’, just designed to attract naive young people who pretend to change their status magically with a fragrance (ah, the nonsense we could swallow when young!). Sillage moderate to weak and longevity exceeding seven hours, but very close to the skin. And if they charge you 70 dollars as in my country, almost any other option is better.

  A soft citrus opening that lasts very little. Afterwards, the tobacco and orange are easily noticeable and it turns soapy. It’s a pleasant and non-intrusive scent. I think anyone could wear it without feeling strange, but perhaps it lacks a touch to stand out and not be forgettable, though I insist it is pleasant. The projection is very poor. It’s like a watered-down or diluted version of M7 Oud Absolu.

  It sounds like spiced wood. The bit about ‘the cologne that differentiates men from boys’ is a joke, especially given how little it lasts. However, it smells bloody brilliant if it didn’t have so much pretension. At the time it was expensive; Welmer Baldessarini, a former Hugo Boss executive, pulled it from his sleeve with aspirational desires for the man who knows what he wants, a lover of luxury finishes, expensive cigars, and the bohemian/scoundrel type who comes home and his wife forgives his dissolute life because they are charming rogues who have a kiki on a Nordic feather mattress, all very truhan and because I’m worth it. If you find it cheap, it’s a good option for a short walk out, using it fresh from a shower and doing something relaxed; a super-alcoholic opening with air of wood liniments and a touch of stuffed citrus peel and spice. The end. There’s nothing more but it’s pleasant. They say it resembles Tom Ford’s first men’s fragrance; I don’t associate them much. It smells good, not cloying nor excessively citrusy, nor youthful, because rather than the pulp it smells of spiced peel, it has a certain natural sexy and that alcoholised tone that I sometimes love in woody scents. But it’s too soft. PS. As I’m the worst, I ended up buying the special edition silver bottle, and yes, at first Tom Ford for Men tries to air itself like this one, but here the gender, though refreshing, has a point of orange citrus, while the other is more creamy, cold, and spiced.

  The opening is slightly aggressive, with marked citrus notes and earthy spices giving it an animal and dark air. The description mentions cloves, but I don’t smell them; it seems to carry nutmeg and turmeric instead, due to that acrid and rough tone mixing with the citrus. It’s not a fresh cologne or bath water; it’s an eau de toilette for something more select. Minutes pass and a pleasant chamomile note emerges, lightening the seriousness. Gradually it becomes lighter, ambered, with a faint hint of lavender (though not declared), without losing the chamomile. Finally, the white musk intensifies, of good quality. The dry down is pretty but subtle. It’s aromatic, not oriental or woody. It results in a unisex scent, for any age, season, or occasion. It projects nothing; you have to overdose it.

  A good cologne, suitable for dressing up, sport, or even a wedding. I respect the comments, but please: this has nothing to do with M7 or Tom Ford Pour Homme. That’s just having a terrible sense of smell. They don’t resemble each other at all, though they smell nice. Don’t disappoint people who buy Baldessarini thinking it’s the same. I, guided by comments here, am tempted to pull people’s legs.

  Well, this fragrance is quite mature, aimed at those over 30. Don’t buy it blindly, as it can smell odd to some. The longevity is 3 to 6 hours, but the sillage is moderate, lasting only 1 to 3 hours. The price is a bit poor for what it offers; for that money, there are better options. In short, I wouldn’t recommend it if you can spend on something else.
