Uomo in Italian translates to Man in English, and in our opinion any man wearing this particular aroma would be most welcome to join us.
So many of the fragrances intended for the male market we have encountered in recent times have all fallen into the ozonic catagory - citrus, fresh, green kind of smells, very pleasant but similar none the less.
Uomo does have a light opening with the bergamot but very quickly we detect another, darker level emerging, There is a sweetness courtesy of hazelnut (our aroma of the week), coffee and chocolate but in no way is it overly sweet or cloying with leather adding a depth that makes us keep coming back for more!
Nickie described it as discreet which is perfect. We imagine a confident, suave, understated-but-expensively dressed gentleman to wear this (think George Clooney, David Ginola, Liam Neeson or Clive Owen types and you'll see where we're going). It smells of good taste and class, but may be a wolf in sheep's clothing, the man wearing this may have more to him than meets the eye - slightly aloof but oh so exciting!
The bottle is beautiful and tactile, multi-faceted like the aroma within and wouldn't look out of place on the dressing table of a lady or gent.
So, you get the general impression that we like this one - you bet we do. It deserves to have it's praises sung from the rooftops and one we are definitely adding to the gift list for the men in our lives.
