L'Uomo The Night Edition

The Scent Profile

L'Uomo The Night Edition opens with a bracing ginger, quickly followed by a sharp, almost astringent bergamot. The lemon feels more like lemon cleaner than ripe fruit, lacking the natural sweetness. The heart introduces a vague spiciness, recalling a dusty spice rack more than freshly ground aromas. The violet leaf presents as a metallic green, a somewhat discordant note against the white pepper's muted bite. As it dries down, the tonka emerges, though it possesses a slightly synthetic, burnt sugar aroma. The cedar is present, but thin and papery, while the vetiver leans heavily into a smoky, almost tar-like impression, diverging significantly from the original’s smoother rendition. There is a definite chemical tang that feels out of sync.

Bottom Line

This fragrance is best suited for situations where subtlety is preferred, perhaps a casual after-work gathering where a less prominent scent is suitable. It is not appropriate for formal events or situations requiring significant sillage. Due to the synthetic edge, avoid wearing in high heat, where the cloying sweetness becomes exacerbated.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity clocks in at roughly 5 hours. Projection is initially strong, extending about 1.5 arm lengths for the first hour, then rapidly settling into a skin scent after the third hour. Tested in an office environment and during an evening out; its performance remained consistent.
