It’s quite fresh and, watch out, unique, doesn’t resemble anything. It’s not a gem, but it’s for people over 40. It’s conservative, I used it years ago because I had no other option. It’s cheap, that’s the house philosophy. Ideal for collecting or using in tropical but ventilated environments.
Smells like a catalogue cologne type ‘Unique’, that Peruvian brand. It’s not bad, but you can tell it’s not a designer fragrance.
It smells like a catalogue cologne of the ‘Unique’ type (a very well-known cologne industry in Peru). It’s not bad, but it’s worlds away from smelling like a designer fragrance.
It’s incredibly cheap and smells great.
Seems to last a lifetime.
I have a bottle of Ulric by Varens, black cap with superimposed letters, red logo and red sprayer. It’s a delight, almost finished and I can’t find it anywhere. I suppose it’s from the 90s, between 1990 and 1997. It’s similar to this one and has those Cananga letters on the cap I mentioned earlier.
It’s not a designer masterpiece nor does it have the hallmarks of perfumery legends, but it respects its composition and originality. It doesn’t smell like anything known, except in the dry-down where it recalls Zino. It’s not linear, which gives it prestige. The opening is strong, but the magic lies in the finish: a soapy and almonded chocolate kiss that lasts for hours. Wear it two hours before heading out for a date. Simple, deep and elegant. Lasts like a beast without being intrusive. Highly recommended.
Smells like a real man, nothing like that cloying floral and sweet rubbish that floods the market. It’s fresh, unique, and doesn’t smell mass-produced. Unbeatable value for money, lasts a long time and leaves a trail. An absolute gem for the collection at a ridiculous price.
A citrus-herbal scent. Good projection and value for money. It accentuates more on summer nights and very cold climates.
I felt like writing about UdV, which is always there when you need it, offering excellent performance and wonderful qualities, especially considering that the price of a bottle doesn’t reach 10 euros. UdV is the shame of all those drugstore perfumes that cost the same or more and offer a scent without much personality that fades after a couple of hours. Anyway, fresh opening, loaded with bitter citrus but also many sharp woods, very threatening. Add a bunch of dried herbs and an earthy colour, and you have a perfume formulated in 1993 but that looks more like the 80s. Very masculine, an aromatic fern from the Golden Age; it will soon delight fans of classic perfumes. It has good projection (in the moderate range), but the longevity is superb and offers different facets throughout its dry-down. I agree with my friend Entredicho that it ends up reminding one of Davidoff Zino, on its rougher and more citrusy side. All and every one of its phases are equally beautiful, simple but effective, and it could be considered without problem a designer perfume. For its quality, price, and performance, it seems totally recommended for any perfume lover, but especially for those followers of 80s ferns. For them, UdV should be a necessity.
I’m wearing it now; it’s night, and I’ve had it since the afternoon. I perceive a pleasant aromatic citrus haze with some enveloping vetiver rising from my neck, along with a bit of mint, perceptible as a background note, but it doesn’t make the fragrance fresh and in fact I don’t conceive it as a fresh juice; it doesn’t reach that point, though it could, it stays in the base. When I put it on, I feel from the start the predominance of the citrus, certainly an acidic citrus that reminds me more of a lemon grove, and along with it there is a synthetic halo; I don’t mean it’s a synthetic citrus scent, but that alongside the citrus there is something synthetic that seemed plastic to me, like something I’ve perceived in some space, like an office, some corner, or a new package. I struggle to name it, but it’s nothing annoying though not surprising, just something curious that can be perceived. There isn’t significant projection to expect, but I think this juice presents an interesting proposal that is well worth tasting, especially being a cheapie. I think Ulric de Varens has a collection of what I call rarities that are interesting to explore. In fact, as a novice collector, I would love to have the opportunity to get the other fragrances in the line; I only have this UdV. Best regards.
It’s a very good fragrance at a very low price. It has a slightly sweet and herbal Mediterranean citrus opening. Its heart is more herbal and woody. The best part is the dry-down, very seductive. I sprayed it and three hours later, in its dry-down, I felt a sweet smell and wondered what such a rich scent I had smelled before until, searching my olfactory memories, I found it smells like the dry-down of A Men by Mugler. On clothes, UdV is almost identical to Zino Davidoff, but the latter is more refined with more sillage; however, both have excellent longevity. On my skin, UdV turned into a sweet, woody patchouli. I was surprised by its quality for such a low price.
For me it’s a twin brother of Jaguar Gold and a cousin of Zino, they share a nose with Dominique Preyssas and it shows. It opens spicy, herbal, sweet and mentholated, very Zino Davidoff. It’s a curious blend, like an updated 80s perfume. Strange but familiar notes, like a Zino mixed with Jaguar Gold and an overdose of anabolics. Super recommended and the price is a laugh, 10 euros with the perfume and deodorant pack.
To me, it’s a twin brother to Jaguar Gold and a cousin of Zino. In fact, it shares a nose with Jaguar Gold, Dominique Preyssas, and it shows, oh how it shows… It comes out very spicy and herbal, with a sweet and minty touch, very Zino Davidoff. It’s a curious blend, like an 80s perfume updated for today. In the dry-down, you notice it’s a stranger yet it sounds familiar. In my opinion, it’s a Zino mixed with Jaguar Gold and an overdose of anabolics. Highly recommended and the price is a joke… 10 euros with the perfume and deodorant pack.
I’ve been wearing it for a month. It has a label that says: CHILDREN: KEEP AWAY. It is an absolutely dashing fragrance, for a made man (35 years and up), strong in character, with a rough yet educated and seductive look. Only for evening, below 22 degrees. Informal, perfect for dinner with your wife at an outdoor restaurant, just 2 or 3 sprays on the nape of the neck or behind the ears. Citrus opening that lasts two minutes, then you feel the herbal notes and the oakmoss. I perceive a note like white honey, similar to Mugler’s PURE HAVANE, although it’s not declared. Price: 8 dollars.
I’ve been wearing this for a month, and it’s a fragrance with a warning label: KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. It’s entirely distinguished, suited to a mature man (35+) of strong, rough yet polite and seductive character. Wear it only in the late afternoon, evening, or night, when temperatures are below 22°C. Ideal for an informal dinner with your wife at an outdoor restaurant: just two sprays, maximum three, at the nape of the neck or behind the ears. It opens citrusy and lasts two minutes before the herbal notes and oak moss emerge; I detect a note of white honey similar to Mugler’s PURE HAVANE, though it’s not listed. Price: $8.
A fresh EDT with non-pungent citrus, woody, with a balsamic touch from mint and rosemary. At a laughable price with excellent performance, I think it can be worn all year round. A manly scent but not old-fashioned. 100% recommended.
As I couldn’t find the vintage version with the black bottle and red cap that I loved so much, I bought this. It’s not exactly the same fragrance, but it retains the essence and offers a great reminiscence. It is exquisite, radiating pure masculinity, something you wouldn’t imagine in a woman. It has a vintage touch but doesn’t smell old; rather, it feels quite modern, like shaving cream with a smoky hint. The quality leaves you speechless; it lasts over 10 hours, and I swear I’m not exaggerating. The price is a joke; it outshines designer perfumes costing five or ten times more. I won’t go on further; it’s among my favourites and stays there. I love this perfume.
A fresh, metallic oakmoss that is simply incredible… I’ve received countless compliments, especially from women. I love it because it brings back childhood memories; my cousin wore it at 12 and I at 10. Now I’m 30 and it still works brilliantly. It’s not boring; it has nuances of talc, sweet pineapple, sour patchouli, minty oakmoss, and dry green leaves. A gem crafted by French hands, affordable and made with love. The atomiser is fantastic.
I’ve been using this since 1993. I can only find it online now, but I still manage to get hold of it.
Very good scent, I tried it and was pleased. I’ve received many compliments from women who loved it because it smells like a man. I recommend it for anyone who wants a well-masculine aroma.
Perfect perfume for economic times: it has the power not to make you feel like you’re wearing cheap perfume. It smells spiced and very aromatic, with classic wood, all in a blend achieved with a contained outlay. It’s masculine and fresh, but doesn’t seem like shower gel; something deeper. It has seriousness, and I love when it gets very soapy throughout its life (5-6 hours on my skin). I’d place it in the late 80s or early 90s by its design and aroma, which recalls something ‘lived-in’ from those years, where feeling classic, mature, and elegant was simple. I’m glad to find acceptable fragrances in an appropriate price segment these days, when high-end brands are expensive. It’s versatile and perfect for going out at night for guys who want to give an elegant impression and can handle the woody acidity (which I like) that emanates at some point.
A perfect perfume for tight budgets because it has the power to make you smell expensive rather than cheap. It smells spiced and highly aromatic, with classic wood, all in a well-balanced blend achieved with a modest outlay. It’s masculine and fresh. It doesn’t smell like shower gel but something deeper; it has gravitas, and I love how it becomes soapy on my skin over its 5–6 hours of wear. I’d place it in the late 80s or early 90s regarding its design and ‘lived-in’ scent, where feeling classic, mature, and elegant was effortless. I’m glad to find acceptable fragrances in an appropriate segment today when high-end brands are so expensive; it’s versatile, perfect for going out at night for those who want to make an elegant impression and can handle the woody acidity without hesitation.
A masculine fragrance loaded with aromatic and woody nuances. Fresh and bitter opening due to the wild notes of sage and thyme, nuanced with the green note of galbanum, functioning as an accord of ripe pineapples that my nose detects (not in the description). A base where the wet side of patchouli and oakmoss stand out, providing good fixing power.
A couple of years after using and commenting on it here, yesterday I took the UdV bottle out of my collection and rediscovered the specialness of the juice. The world of fragrances, like other things, allows exploring a perfume not to be confined to a single experience to recognise its value; I’m not an expert perfumer, nor is it my profession, in case anyone thinks only large purses or expert noses can find jewels. Among the fragrances I show, this UdV is one of my favourites. My budget is limited and my knowledge basic, but my common sense tells me that value and price don’t always go hand in hand; something can be interesting or exceptional without costing much. This UdV is the case. Its identity is fully aromatic; not because of its citrus and mentholated notes, which usually evoke freshness, is it considered fresh, for its personality is another, more noble. I repeat my first comment: it’s not a fresh fragrance, it stays in the base. It’s a specimen of pleasant aromatic presence. The reunion made me first think of plastic and the smell of an elderly person coming from Sunday mass at midday, something I doubted, but which in little time turns into “oh!”, “mmm!”, and intensifies. Citrus and mint predominate for me, but there’s a particularity I can’t classify, something unique to the juice, a marchamos that is intriguing and seductive. I add that it stays pleasantly fixed on the shirt collar even when removed; pleasant before, during, and after. Congratulations to friend Dkorador for his task and constancy; it’s a testament to the passion this universe inspires. I feel short on words, I wish I could say more. Give space and value to the rare; you might be pleasantly surprised. Peace be with you, greetings.
A magnificent perfume from the fougère family. Although the website declares it citrusy, to me it feels like a fougère from here to China. The opening is noticeable as citrus, but that oakmoss body steals the show in the heart and base. The dry-down is a gem: musky from the musk and soft from the jasmine.
When I first tried it, back in 2014 or before, I loved it and used it several times. Then I stopped buying it to try other brands and scents. Recently, I bought a bottle, and it was a delightful reunion. It smells just as I remembered, which is rare these days. Sincerely, it matches in longevity and sillage with more expensive designer brands. I like the scent greatly, and it’s pleasing to see that it doesn’t change throughout its duration (some might find it boring): one hour of sillage, three hours at a metre, and twelve hours on skin. Suitable for all weathers and versatile for many informal occasions.
TOBACCO, LAUREL, DAMP EARTH, ROSEMARY, HERBS. Pure Agua Brava by Puig. 29-02-24 in Venezuela, $11.50.
Forget the citrus; this is a fougère. The opening is a synthetic citrus, a lemony and mentholated orange, but within minutes a rich aroma emerges: a blend of vetiver, moss, and patchouli, with damp earth and a hint of tobacco. I tested it in cold weather, and it lasts a long time on skin. It fades gradually and reminded me of Domínguez’s Vetiver Terra. I found it at a ridiculously low price in my country ($18, almost one-tenth the cost of imported perfumes), and even in a tester it was $10, less than a basic catalogue perfume. A complete hit in terms of price and quality.
As in previous reviews, this is clearly a fougère. Citrus at the start, but dominated by herbs: lots of mint and sage, with vetiver, rosemary, and patchouli. Longevity matches the price: around four hours on skin, a bit longer on clothes. It’s a 100% masculine scent but somewhat dated; difficult to wear at closed gatherings if you’re over 40. Not a good blind buy, but given how uncommon it is and the quality of the smell, it’s worth the cost.
February 2025 arrival: this fragrance is unforgettable, though it may have had its moment in the past. It’s not designed to attract attention or have people ask for your name; it simply ensures you smell decent and convey a sense of personal hygiene if noticed. It’s not meant to impress in society, nor is it refined or sophisticated; instead, it evokes a mature, classic, and traditional masculinity. As an explorer, I find it intimate and fascinating; it has its own character that makes it unique, not just another copy of the bunch. There may be something similar but more potent, yet this DNA shouldn’t be underestimated. There is personal potential here, and it is one of the brand’s best offerings. That distinctive synthetic touch stands out. Cheers!
