Uomo Lorenzo Villoresi for women and men

I have been looking for a citrus type scent for the coming Spring/Summer and have been wearing Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo from a sample and it's simply wonderful.

Imagine if you are in the Mediterranean where a Italian garden full of fruit, shrubs and flowers is overlooking the ocean. As this opens with a citrus which has a kiss of herbal spice that leads into this earthiness.

After a while you start to experience a white musk within the composition which helps lift the fragrance out of the herbal earthiness.

What I find amazing for a earthy citrus scent is how complex and multi-faceted this fragrance is as it has real depth. When you smell it you are picking up many different aspects to it at once. You could spend a week wearing it everyday and still be surprised by picking up a new nuance to the scent.

From the refreshing citrus herbal spice which leads to a earthiness and herb spices comes the white musk that lifts the composition to the skys this scent is wonderful.

This has been tested from a vial and the longevity is average but for me this is a MUST BUY and a rare Summer/Spring scent that has complexity and depth. You will not get bored with this one as it is a million miles away from the average generic Spring/Summer scent that fills the shelves.

A big big thumbs up from me and I have somehow got to get this one.:thumbup:

The first time I smelled Uomo I was intrigued because the ingredients and accords within have such a distinct quality to them. They come across as very fresh, natural, and masculine; traditional with a modern flare; classic, but new.

Uomo has one of the better citrus openings I have experienced (and there are LOTS of fragrances with citrus openings!). The lemon, orange, and bergamot is vibrant and alive. With your eyes closed, it's easy to imagine the fruit right there, just in front of your nose. It's like they were freshly squeezed and thrown directly into the little blue bottle. Crisp and energizing, these top notes serve as an excellent way to start your day. At times it feels as though this EDT was designed to be put on first thing in the morning, after your shower and before you head out the door. It's a working man's fragrance, lending itself to a sober mind and brisk pace--there's something about it that feels productive.

As it moves toward the middle Uomo becomes wonderfully spicy--the resins, sage, pepper and coriander transition from the citrus top and merge with it seamlessly. The spice is zesty and fresh, slightly warm and aromatic. It's worth mentioning that some lavender also becomes apparent during this stage, though its role is minor, serving to accent the spice.

The base is woody and light, and beneath the woods there is a smooth, almost dark musk that holds and blends the scent to the skin. It is easy to overlook this aspect of Uomo, yet it is an important little detail in the overall character of the fragrance.

Uomo works fantastically in the spring and summer, but is also good for the fall or winter. It's a very versatile fragrance that I could easily see becoming someone's signature scent. Projection is very good, longevity is average. If you are looking for a modern, quality edt that has something of a classic appeal, look no further. Uomo is the one for you.

I recommend it highly.

Very nice smell,i always search for these herbal aromatic earthy fragrance.
It's cooling without citrus except for the begining.
Sage and vetiver took all the place to my nose,this mix is very appealing,vetiver is hidden behind sage.
Unique,long lasting(6+ hours),moderate projection.
Suitable for spring and fall,casual and formal.
It's a naturel smell.

A wonderful citrus loaded with aromatics and spices in an impeccably smooth blend. Comfortable and easy to wear with lots of class. It also shows lots of details when you turn your attention towards it.

I guess I somewhat disagree with the previous reviews. There is no sharpness with this fragrance, nor is there much if any astringency. Yes, this is akin to a traditional eau, but everything is well rounded, smooth, slightly warm, moderately spicy. This fragrance is a nice everyday scent done virtually to perfection. An Italian masterpiece? Perhaps. Longevity is an issue, so spray on your clothing instead of your skin. Still, it takes about 5 spritzes to make this last most of the day. This is a great fragrance. Also note that there is an EdP concentration of this available (even more expensive though). Cheers.

When I first looked at the price tag, I was floored. But after some hesitation, I decided to take the plunge, and I didn't regret it.
Uomo is the quintessential masculine fragrance. It is a Mediterranean delicacy loaded with spices. And what spices... Uomo is incisively sharp yet it doesn't burn your nose, it's rather decidedly astringent. Though one may have a different judgement about it after a first encounter, eventually it turns out as a remarkably complex blend. Still, the most gripping quality about Uomo is that this is the kind of perfume that you will enjoy wearing day after day, regardless of circumstances and occassions.
