10 Corso Como 10 Corso Como for women

Intense. This is a misterious, dark, obscure, sexy fragrance. The oud and the incense combine wonderfully and give this amazing fragrance its unforgettable note. I detect berries which give it a sweet freshness. It's a very elegant, dry fragrance, and it lasts for ages. I bought my bottle about 2 years ago, so I don't know if this is the original or the new formulation, I can only say that it has captured my imagination. It is not for all occasions, I put it on when I know that I want to fix in my memory a special event: I wore it for a dark Gary Numan concert a few months ago, and now every time I put it on I recall that evening. I simply love it.

This fragrance has changed drastically over last decade. It used to be really nice - amazing even. I acquired my first bottle almost ten years ago when agarwood products in western fragrances were beginning to make their appearances. The oud was quite strong, almost gasoline-like in its intensity and the sandalwood was just perfectly warm and enveloping - plus, the longevity and sillage was remarkable. It was so unique that it never failed to garner remarks from those who smelled it upon me.

Last week, I just bought another bottle and I must say that I'm incredibly disappointed - sad actually. It's now a hint of its former self - anemic, light to the point of being more of a skin scent, and the oud is nearly imperceptible. A close friend of mine expressed the same sentiments over the solid perfume compact - it was gorgeous to look at, but the scent was hardly the strength of a lip balm. She returned it - I wish I could return mine.

Don't make the same mistake I did - it was a very expensive one.

28-yo male here. I'm surprised this is classified as a female fragrance. I bought this in the men's fragrance section at Neiman Marcus a few years ago...unfortunately the bottle broke thereafter!

I like it, it's not my favorite but it's attractive to the female nose.

Can someone agree that this smells a lot like Victoria's Secret Very Sexy for Men?!

If you want a cheaper version of this fragrance, I'd suggest Victoria's Secret Very Sexy for Men (which I also have) =]

I ordered a sample of this a couple of years ago and while not bad, I was disappointed. The sandalwood is evident, but not as I had hoped and about 5 minutes into it, I was hit with this tangy, sharp note that lasted about a minute. I was informed by a well known blog owner of another perfume site that it had been redone in recent times.Still, it is as close to that wonderful sandalwood, incense like floral that I have found so far.

I really, REALLY wanted to like this perfume, but even after several tries, we are not friends. It is not warm or mysterious at all, but somehow cold...antiseptic...and...?!?!...SOMETHING else that I just couldn't put my finger on until now. On me, 10 smells just like Comet--that old powdered bathroom cleaner. O, the horror! Argh! And a couple of unprintable expletives!!

Does anyone have some not-so-clean incense suggestions?

I love spicy, exotic perfumes, especially if it has oud. The smell did not match the description. There's a layer of modern, souless, sweetness that covers any woodiness or possible incense. I'm so disappointed because it was supposed to be all things I love.

this one isn't feminine enough , it could be unisex,
oriental check
incense check
woody check
leather check (at dry down)

similar to Guerlain line, they made such of complex perfume,

in my childhood i was played around a huge pine tree , this kind of pine tree when axe it , its bleeding a glue, so its kind of Resins tree

long story short this perfume remind me the smell of that tree in my childhood

i love it, and i think I'll give it a try to see if it will work with me!

This scent seemed like a good choice for me to wear today, its been a rather rainy, dreary, day. And I find this scent can be somewhat self-soothing. It opens strong with a spicy woody blast that at first smells like cinamin and wood. As it dries I get a the smokey incense note along with the woods, and that oud note. The spices dont stick around too long. Soon enough this scent dries down very close to the skin, and I think it works for periods of self reflection. This is a scent that I would wear to induce a mood, not one I would wear for others. I like it. But I wouldnt buy a FB. I dont find it versatile enough.

What happened to 10 Corso Como?
I tested years ago in the same store because I used to work very close to it and went dare to test almost everything!
Of course I also tried 10 Corso Como and felt knocked on my head. Strong! Very strong unrefined sandalwood with a special vibe that I would call Indian rather than Italian (where has anyone seen sandalwood trees in Italy?!?)
It smelled to me like a posh styled enigmatic Indian lady or man, quite an expensive design version of a hippie if it makes sense.
Recently I got a few vials and tested again. But what happened? Reformulation? It's much watered down now and smells more vile, much less mystical and tone-up than before.
If you want a glorious sandalwood go for Tam Dao.

If you are in search of a fragrance with an Italian attitude, look no further - 10 Corso Como is the one! Being half Italian and very familiar with Italy, I knew I had to get it as soon as it came out. It's a unique perfume with an interesting blend that begins with a very fine sandalwood that marries perfectly with the incense. It immediately creates a spiritual brew which captures the vibes and aura of the sacred Duomo in Milan.

Next, a grandiose blast of geranium accompanied with the essence of rose and surrounded by musk transports you away from the cathedral steps and into the hot spot piazza shopping mecca at 10 Corso Como. At this point you suddenly feel fashion savvy and yes, oh so Italian. But hey it's not over yet, enter the exotic Malay oud-wood oil with all its mystery and seduction and you have now experienced the ultimate fragrance of its kind. It makes you want to scream Encore! The longevity of this fragrance is unbelievable, almost 8 hours if not more.

10 Corso Como is, Gothic and Italian, sexy yet innocent, woody and musky, light yet dark and I can continue on and on with seemingly excessive verbiage about this scent that is so abundant in character. So to break it
down I'll just use a little Italian 101 and say 10 Corso Como is "Tutti Buono"!

Actually I love 10 corso como-it's such a clean and strong sandalwood and doesn't remind me of a cedar closet! It is very wearable and the lasting power is incredible- it's perfect for a long shift at work. My boyfriend thinks it smells like ajax but this hasn't dissuaded me.
