  Sometimes you get little and expect much, or at least more than expected. That’s exactly what happened with this Wild Pine fragrance. It’s a classic cologne: a non-pungent citrus opening, a light herbal touch, and a very noticeable floral note that gives it body. They say it has iris, but I’d say rose; it’s floral and gives it an Acqua di Parma Classic Cologne vibe. It’s fresh, clean, and pleasant. Well-executed, especially for the price. Although labeled as masculine, on Fragrantica I see it as unisex, even leaning more feminine, just like with others that highlight iris and rose. Performance is weak: potent at first like an Eau de Cologne, lasting 1-2 hours before becoming skin-only for another 4-5 hours, or more if you apply it generously. For just over €20 for 125ml, it’s a great option if you like that style.

  Sometimes you expect little and get a lot, or at least more than expected. That happened with this Pino Silvestre fragrance. It’s a classic cologne, citrusy without being sharp, a light herbal touch, and a very noticeable floral note that gives it body. They say it has iris, but I’d say rose; it’s floral and gives it a style like the Classic Colonia by Acqua di Parma. It’s fresh, clean, and pleasant. Well-executed, especially considering the price. Although labeled as masculine, on Fragrantica I see it as unisex, even leaning more feminine, just like with others that highlight iris and rose. Performance is weak: potent at first like an Eau de Cologne, lasts 1-2 hours, then becomes skin scent for another 4-5 hours, or more if you layer it. For just over 20€ for 125ml, it’s a great option if you like that style.

  Interesting proposition, but I’m sorry, it’s 100% barbershop, clean, pleasant, and masculine. The bottle is luxurious with thick glass and good design, though the cap is plastic and the box is decent cardboard. Performance isn’t crazy, lasting 4-6 hours depending on the weather and number of sprays, with a low, intimate sillage. What hooks you? The scent plays with vintage vibes; sometimes it feels like an Acqua di Parma classic cologne but a bit powdery, and other times it reminds me of Alvarez Gomez Barbershop but more citrusy. At €12 for 125ml, it’s an interesting proposal, very usable in spring, summer, and autumn (not too fresh) during the day for the office and moderately formal meetings.

  Interesting proposal, sorry 100% barber shop, clean, pleasant, and masculine. The bottle is luxurious, thick glass, and well-designed; the cap is plastic and the cardboard box is decent. Performance isn’t crazy, 4 to 6 hours depending on weather and sprays, with a low and intimate trail. What hooks you?

  I’m trying to be softer with these, but I use them to scent sheets, pajamas, and towels. Before buying, I saw they’re by Luca Maffei, the guy who studied for years and created Harvest Mouse for Zoologist; it smells great, and the website claimed Pino Silvestre had unique creations after lots of work. Sounds like he fell asleep or made them after a hangover. I bought Acqua di Pino Cologne and Pino Silvestre Fougere EDT with high expectations and nice packaging, but upon testing, they’re very simple colognes. Acqua di Pino is like a superconcentrated version of 4711: lasts 20 minutes and then it’s gone. The other one smells good, but an hour is pushing it. Hey, add more fixative, don’t be so cheap, and this would be different. I have Hugh Parsons Piccadilly Circus, which is classic but lasts forever. Verdict: the name doesn’t guarantee quality, try before you buy or read other reviews.
