Ungaro pour L'Homme II by Emanuel Ungaro

I was very disapointed with this fragrance, it is almost imposible to find and, in every perfume site in internet it was sold out, out of stock or not available at all. It was available in ebay though, but the prize was outragous, and after losing bid after bid I finally got a very small bottle of it, maybe just a full oz. I was anxious to try it, and when I did I was shocked. This garbage so hard to get and so expensive, so I left it alone for several weeks. Later I wanted to give it a second try and this time is was not bad at all actually, but bland and nothing special about it, Then I tried it a couple of more times and I liked it better and better, and now is one of my favorites. I know I will spend a lot of time bidding in ebay to get it at one ridiculous price, BUT IT IS WORTH IT. The opening is so citrusy, more lemon than any other perfume I ever tried, including Cedrat, and it slowly goes into a flowery, fruity aroma, so much so that I tought was maybe a little feminine, you can smell the rose and jasmine clearly, typical of so many ladies perfumes, but then it goes into this viril, dark, almost smoky, like incense and also animal due to the civet and amber but softened by the perfect touch of sandalwood and cedar that lasts and lasts. Sillage is weak but ok. So if you get it, remember, it grows on you and you will end up loving it.

This perfume is a masterpiece, all the notes are so exquisitely blended, you can hardly breakdown them.
The overall impression is animalic freshness, it smells fresh and sensual at the same time, all the notes are present without fighting each other and the civet gives it a kick of manscent along a clean fragrance.
