  I can’t believe they’re still selling it, ufff, I remember it was when I was in secondary school when it was the boom of the era.

  Well… thinking about it again (and note that I haven’t deleted my previous review to show that I hesitated), as it dries it’s pure Azzaro Pour Homme (and the slight musty smell fades a bit).

  This fragrance improves notably on the less gifted Aramis 900 (1973), Aramis Devin (1977), and Aramis JHL (1982), but… it has a slight musty smell that doesn’t quite convince me. The Pasha by Cartier has that same residual scent, but not as predominant as here. The citrus notes save the fragrance, but… I still don’t like it. I don’t know which notes generate that unpleasant musty smell, I really want to know, but it just didn’t end up pleasing me much. That said, it’s a fragrance far superior to the ones mentioned above. I think Aramis Tuscany Per Uomo is the most European of the Aramis fragrances (at least of the almost ten I’ve tried). The English version of Fragrantica indicates it resembles the famous Azzaro Pour Homme, and as an Azzaro fan, I affirm that it does have a resemblance, but circumstantial (the anise with the leather note, for now, brings it closer mainly as it dries). I’m moving on with this fragrance.

  Tuscany Pour Homme is a classic I took too long to discover in my homeland; I stumbled upon it last Saturday and it instantly won me over. It smells like the eighties, of cured leather and a real man: if you love the old school, you’ll be head over heels, but if you’re hunting for something modern, you’ll be left wanting. Upon application, that potent leather gives way to lavender, which reinforces the eighties vibe alongside bergamot, anise, caraway and tarragon, adding a herbal and slightly murky touch. Tonka bean and cinnamon balance everything out, while the incense takes you through the entire evolution. Basil amps up the animal side of the leather, and vetiver with oakmoss bring that ferny earthiness of the seventies and eighties. It’s sensational, closer to Dior’s J’adore (with more sparkle and less algae) than to Azzaro Pour Homme (which feels older and stiffer). Perfect for crisp days and suits. It’s not quite as beastly as people say, being vintage (my bottle is from 1996): it lasts 7-8 hours with moderate trail and projection, though it should linger longer on clothes. In short, a gem for classic lovers. Scent: 10/10, Longevity: 8/10, Sillage: 7/10, Projection: 7/10, Versatility: 7/10, Value for Money: 9/10.

  Tuscany Per Uomo is a perfume I’d never seen in my country and thought I’d never find; well, last Saturday I found it in a shop here. Its scent is so masculine, so 80s, and so captivating that if you love classics from those eras, you’ll succumb to it; but if you prefer modern perfumes, you’ll be repelled, as it’s not for everyone. Upon application, you feel the full power of a stout starched leather; the leather gradually gives way to lavender, which refines the 80s character along with the orange blossom, anise, caraway, and tarragon, imparting a slight herbaceous murkiness. The tonka bean and cinnamon balance the rest, and the incense is noticeable throughout the evolution. The basil amplifies the leather to enhance the animal touch, while the vetiver and oakmoss unfold the earthiness of the masculine ferns of the 70s and 80s. It’s a sensational creation, very much in the vein of Kouros, Jules, or Montana Parfum d’Homme. I don’t think it resembles Azzaro Pour Homme, another masterpiece with which it’s often compared, but in my opinion, it’s more akin to Christian Dior’s Jules with a citrus charge and less algalia, producing a sparkier and more dynamic aroma against Dior’s lost gem, which feels older and stiffer. It can be used daily, preferably in formal settings and cool climates. The performance wasn’t as monstrous as many claim, being a vintage formula (my bottle is probably from 1996): its longevity is 7 to 8 hours, with moderate projection and trail (I still need to try it on clothes, where it should perform better). All in all, it’s a wonderful piece, highly recommended for lovers of classic masculine fragrances. Tuscany Per Uomo has earned its place with ample merit and I’ve really liked it. Score: Fragrance 10/10, Longevity 8/10, Trail 7/10, Projection 7/10, Versatility 7/10, Value for Money 9/10.

  A beautiful creation, like a museum piece, so different from what is out there in modern perfumery. It’s for a man who fights every day for his dreams with perseverance and hard work. I’ve fallen in love with these classic aromas again; they convey serenity, like those important people who, though distant, you know are there. I imagine a summer walk in the countryside under the sun, contemplating nature, letting myself be intoxicated by this deep and energetic proposal. It has a slight resemblance to the unforgettable classic Azzaro, but crafted differently. I don’t think younger people, accustomed to other things, will like it, but if they dare, they’ll discover a totally different world.

  I picked it up recently when I saw it cheap in 100ml. It’s an odd scent, bushy, herbal and aniseed, which gives it character, all sitting on a spiced leather base. It feels undefined and lacking body, except for that slightly rancid and musty base, which is what has the most presence. Like many classics, none of the declared notes are noticeable to the extent of 80%. The idea is good and there are interesting moments, but it’s not consistent; you have to hunt for them, which is frustrating because what is consistently there is that suspicious and not very pleasant base. I’d like to smell more lavender and anise as it dries down. I like the style and intention, but unfortunately it doesn’t deliver. It falls short on quality and performance; the longevity is moderate if you’re looking for something that sticks to your skin. A pity, because at times it seems to have the makings of a great scent.

  A classic I’ve revisited upon finding it cheap in 100ml format. It smells odd, like a bush with a herbal and aniseed touch that gives it character, over a spiced leather base. I find it indefinite and lacking body, except unfortunately for that slightly rancid, musty base which has the most presence. As with these classics, none of the declared notes are noticeable by even 80%. The idea is good and there are interesting moments, but it’s not consistent; you have to keep searching for them, which is frustrating because what I notice consistently is that suspicious, not very pleasant base. I would have liked to feel more lavender and aniseed as it dries. I like the style and what it aims for, but unfortunately, it doesn’t deliver. It falls short on quality and performance, with moderate longevity if you’re looking for something that sticks to the skin. A pity, because at times it seems to have the makings of a great scent.

  With autumn here, Tuscany Per Uomo is back to being my favourite. It’s an aromatic fern scent from the 80s that brings back childhood memories. It opens citrusy with herbs and spices, particularly anise and cinnamon, with lavender almost always present; those citrus notes are a bit artificial but not bad, and they fade away in 10 minutes. Then comes the leathery and semi-sweet phase from the tonka bean, with bursts of caraway that, as @ShiseidoTactis says, give a dirty smell, almost like body odour, but in the background. Here I remember Azzaro Pour Homme from my childhood, as they share the same backbone: lavender, anise, cinnamon, tonka bean and leather. Towards the end it softens, but the spices and lavender still reign. On my skin it lasts over 11 hours, although the projection is low throughout. Its great advantage is the price, very accessible as @drakecito points out.

  A perfect time to pick up Aramis fragrances, as they’re out of stock in all physical stores here in Valencia.

  With autumn here, I’ve returned to Tuscany Per Uomo and I believe it’s the perfect season for it. It’s a classic fern scent from the 80s that brings back childhood memories. It starts citrusy with herbs and spices, especially anise and cinnamon, with lavender present throughout. The citrus notes are slightly artificial but not unpleasant, though they fade quickly, giving way to a heartier, semi-sweet phase due to the tonka bean and bursts of caraway that add a dirty, almost bodily touch, though in the background. Here I recall Azzaro Pour Homme, as they share the backbone of lavender, anise, cinnamon, tonka bean, and leather. It softens at the end, but the spices and lavender still dominate. It lasts over 11 hours, although with low projection. Its great advantage is that it’s available at a very accessible price.

  A wonderful perfume with a very prominent lemon note and a barbershop scent. Perhaps the only thing that doesn’t quite suit me is the caraway, which gives it a touch I don’t fully enjoy.

  Excellent perfume, with that lemon and barbershop touch that are simply enchanting. Perhaps the only thing that doesn’t quite sit right for me is the caraway, which gives it a vibe I don’t entirely enjoy.

  It’s a timeless classic, very similar to Azzaro Pour Homme but sweeter and more refined, with those delightful cinnamon and anise notes that really stick. It smells strong at first, but then softens; lasts around 5-6 hours. I have the vintage version, the one with the black lettering and the star below the bottle.

  One of my all-time favourite fragrances. A barber-shop scent very similar to Azzaro Pour Homme but sweeter and more polished, with delightful and long-lasting notes of cinnamon and anise. It’s strong at first but softens over time; lasts around 5-6 hours. I tried the vintage version with the black lettering and star on the bottle.
