Numero Uno Carthusia for men Pictures

The first perfume created by the Carthusia laboratories to accompany and represent the Mediterranean man. A harmony of rustic, floral and musk wood notes for a sunny, dynamic, enterprising man.

Fragrance is available in Eau de Parfum 50 and 100 ml. Numero Uno was launched in 2007.

Soapy, green, floral, a little herbal and spicy, it reminds me of an old-fashioned lavender-based cologne. As it dries down it sweetens a bit, but the lavender remains prominent. It goes through a phase where it smells a little fruity, but then it goes back to the lavender cologne and stays in that mode until it finally disappears 12 hours or more later. It has enough sillage to make its presence known and has excellent longevity, but is at no point overpowerlingly strong.

It’s a well-made, conventionally “masculine” scent that would be wearable by anyone in a wide spectrum of situations. Not wildly exciting, but pleasant and dependable.

Gorgeous soapy chypre. There is something striking and hugely appealing about the cool, soapy quality created by a woody bitter orange, camphorous herbs and violet in Numero Uno. The chypre base of moss and patchouli gives a damp underpinning, but it’s the particular floral/herbal accord that defines Numero Uno from start to finish. A first cousin to Chanel Pour Monsieur’s chypre on one side and Grey Flannel’s violet-orange fougère on the other.

WARNING: Lots of Mitsouko comparisons below. Proceed with caution.

Numero Uno is a full-blooded chypre in smell; I instantly thought of Mitsouko, but with an orange note. I guess you could call this a masculine Mitsouko, although I always found Mitsouko to be unisex. Anyway, I prefer this one to Mitsouko and it lasts longer for me. It retains the sunny, peachy brightness of the vintage Mitsouko Eau de Cologne.

Overall, I think Numero Uno is a brilliant chypre with a sunny, laid-back Mediterranean feel. I think it's suitable for both men and women and the price ain't half bad for a niche firm. Definitely try it.

Occasionally I tire of the mass of aquatics and citrus scents that I smell on the men around me. Discovering Numero Uno was a nice change, something unique and pleasing.

Numero Uno is quite herbaceous, but not in an overly green sense. It has this deliciously smooth and soothing blend of herbs, with the lavender in particular giving it that dreamy feel.

I bought a sample of this for my boyfriend to wear and I absolutely adored it. I liked it not because it was sexy, or because it was particularly bold, I found myself attracted to its friendliness. It made him smell so approachable and cuddly. It actually makes a wonderful bed-time scent.

Some might say that this is a fragrance for older men, but I disagree. I also think despite its rather masculine scent, a woman could also wear this. The subtle, powdery violet in the heart makes it a tad unisex.

Sharp notes of orange only feature for a few seconds in the opening. I get a lot of rosemary, lavender, patchouli, violet, musk and myrrh in this fragrance. The eucalyptus note is there, but I can't guarantee that you'll smell like the Australian bushland with this fragrance, although it does have a rugged feel to it.

The longevity is wonderful, however the sillage is rather soft, hence the reason why I find this a pleasing bed-time scent. Numero Uno is not for everyone but it's worth a try.

I think it`S really #1 for men! The citrus/herbaceous opening is truly head-spinning yet controlled. Shortly thereafter, the myrrh note appears. This note's role transports the somewhat linear, yet unique whole into its woody and musky drydown. I am not a fan of some musks, but this slightly soapy one works for me. I don't get much of the eucalyptus or vetiver in this composition. They're present but only as supporting roles. The main green/herb note appears to be thyme. The violet-ylang, heart accord is what makes Numero Uno special for me. If natural, unique and transcendental are your thing, go for it.
