  The citrus opening reminded me of the orange aroma in powdered juice. Very synthetic these notes along with the mint; nothing like the handling of citrus in fragrances like Hermes and Cartier (and even less for the lucky ones who have niche). From the heart, I felt the chamomile weakly, which wasn’t a good innovation to replace traditional florals like geranium or carnation. From the base, very weak: musk, amber, and some patchouli. I didn’t smell any tobacco at all. The ending, if it had been good, could have saved something more for this fragrance, but it’s pure marketing. As an overly obligatory woody oriental, very unconvincing. I was already disappointed in the year of its launch, as I didn’t perceive it as a big deal, with that slogan of ‘separating men from boys,’ just designed to attract unsuspecting young people who want to magically change their status with a fragrance (ah, the nonsense we could swallow when young!). Moderate to weak sillage and longevity that exceeds seven hours, but very skin-close. And if they charge you 70 dollars like in my country, almost any other option is better.

  Citrus and soft opening that lasts very little. Later, tobacco and orange become noticeable and it turns soapy. It’s a pleasant and non-intrusive aroma. I think anyone could wear it without feeling strange, but maybe it lacks a touch to stand out and not be forgettable, although I insist it’s pleasant. The projection is very poor. It’s like a watered-down or diluted version of M7 Oud Absolu.

  It sounds like spiced wood. The claim that it’s ‘the cologne that differentiates men from boys’ is a joke, especially given how little it lasts. However, it smells like shit if it didn’t have so much pretension. At the time, it was expensive; Welmer Baldessarini, a former Hugo Boss executive, pulled it out of his sleeve with aspirational desires for the man who knows what he wants, a lover of luxury finishes, expensive cigars, and the bohemian/scoundrel type who comes home and his wife forgives his dissolute life because they are charming rogues who throw a party on a Nordic feather bed, all very rogue and because I am worth it. If you find it cheap, it’s a good option for a short walk, using it right after a shower and doing something relaxed; a super-alcoholic opening with wood liniment vibes and a stuffed citrus peel touch spiced up. End of story. There’s nothing more, but it’s pleasant. They say it resembles Tom Ford’s first men’s fragrance; I don’t associate them much. It smells good, not cloying or excessively citrusy, not youthful either, because instead of the pulp, it smells like spiced peel, has a certain natural sexiness, and that alcohol-heavy tone that I sometimes love in woody scents. But it’s too soft. P.S. Since I’m the worst, I ended up buying the special edition silver bottle, and yes, at first Tom Ford for Men tries to air like this one, but here the genre, though refreshing, has an orange citrus point, while the other is more creamy, cold, and spiced.

  The opening is a bit aggressive, with marked citrus notes and earthy spices giving it an animalic and dark vibe. The description says clove, but I don’t smell it; it seems to carry nutmeg and turmeric instead, due to that acrid and rough tone mixing with the citrus. It’s not a fresh cologne or bathwater; it’s an eau de toilette for something more selective. Minutes pass, and a pleasant chamomile note emerges, lightening the seriousness. Gradually, it becomes lighter and amber-toned, with a faint hint of lavender (though not listed), without losing the chamomile. Finally, the white musk intensifies, high quality. The dry down is nice but subtle. It’s aromatic, not oriental or woody. It results in a unisex scent suitable for any age, season, or occasion. It projects nothing; you have to overapply it.

  Good cologne, works for dressing up, sports, or even a wedding. I respect the comments, but please: this has nothing to do with M7 or Tom Ford Pour Homme. That’s just having a bad sense of smell. They don’t resemble each other at all, though they smell good. Don’t let people down who buy Baldessarini thinking it’s the same. I, following the reviews here, feel like I’m going to disappoint people.

  Well, this fragrance is quite mature, aimed at people over 30. Don’t buy it blindly because it can smell weird to some. The longevity is 3 to 6 hours, but the sillage is moderate, lasting only 1 to 3 hours. The price is a bit off for what it offers; for that money, there are better options. Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend it if you can spend on something else.
