Smells almost exactly like Gillette Cool Wave aftershave (which isn't a bad thing, since Cool Wave smells great). Apparently Grigioperla was launched first, so Cool Wave is the imitator.

If Lomani and DN are too harsh for you but you like straightforward fougeres ("soapy" ones), then you should sample this one. It also seems a bit more complex than basic, soapy fougeres I've tried. I think the basil, anise, and carnation are more obvious here, which provides better balance. I did a dab sampling and I look forward to giving it a regular wearing when I'm in the mood for this kind of fragrance (I'll update this review when I do that).

UPDATE: After doing a regular wearing I am pleased to say that this is a very smooth, subtle fougere. It does begin with a bit too much musk and fougere accord to my liking but after less than an hour it comes together very well. The balance is great and it's reasonably complex and natural smelling. If you like Rive Gauche Pour Homme's opening but dislike the dry, patchouli-dominant base, you might want to give this one a try.

A wonderful man's scent! - Mainly "one noted" but it has a fresh, oriental, spicy, smell. It is similar to Drakaar Noir, Lomani Homme and Taxi but this one is a bit sweeter and subtler. It lasts a long time too. If you want a cheaper alternative that is great also - go for Lomani Homme. Grigioperla is one of the very best men's sweet orientals out there in my opinion.

I like this one and I'm glad I was able to stumble upon it by way of dumb luck, otherwise I probably never would have heard of it or known it existed. GrigioPerla opens with a bit of a sharp and sour bergamot/lavender combination, but it doesn't last long, maybe for 5 to 10 minutes. Afterwards, it develops into a smooth fougeure with a clean, soapy, barbershop quality. While similar to Drakkar in some ways, Grigioperla seems rounder and less aggressive, suave and understated. The allusions to Italian aftershave are correct and perhaps because I don't often come in contact with these types of fragrances, I find it unique enough and a welcome addition to my wardrobe. Most appropriate for ages 25 and up, Grigioperla is versatile and could be worn as a work scent or for a casual night out. It presents a clean, sober minded demeanor. Decent longevity and projection. Fairly priced. Try to sample this if you can--you may be surprised.

Unremarkable and stereotyped masculine fougere with an oriental twist. No more, no less.

A beautiful oriental, sort of rescembles Italian aftershave in a good way. Not a powerhouse, as one could have thought, but quite potent at the beginning with coriander, anise and rosemary, but settles after some hour to a wonderful more subtle scent. Very, very nice.
Do try it if you can find it, it has really surprised me how timeless and classic this is.

Superb stuff. A great everyday office scent. The Basil and Anise are instantly detectable and then a wonderful clean, soapy drydown. Good sillage and longevity - a very nice masculine scent.

A wonderful scent. Very wearable and affordable. Smells like an aftershave so it's VERY manly and it has that mysterious romantic italian quality to it. Think of a cross between lauder for men and drakkar noir (if you can!)
