Pino Silvestre Original Pino Silvestre for men

i bought this fragr. for myself and i really love it! it's impossible to believe that it was presented in 1955! it's absolutely ageless! on my skin it smells like coca colla in the forest :) warm, deep, very aromatic! very attractive and very positive! i found only one minus - this fragrance flys away from my skin after 30-40 min

Maduro has described it well. It's definitely unassuming and not a synthetic blast. It pretty much smells like a pine cone as appearances would suggest. The smell lingers a little effervescent spicy woody which dries down with a mild projection. It's mostly just a novelty to me not really something I suggest.

Looking for a clean, straighforward, unassuming scent? Pino Silvestre is it. While the pine forest is definitely there, I don't get a big blast of it...more "woodsy" is how I would describe it. Quickly transitioned to the base notes on my skin. Not very long lasting, but a great fragrance for unsophisticated activities.

When I first smelled this fragrance, it was a gift for my dad 6 months ago. He loved it. I bought it blind (the whole Englebert Humperdink angle) and hated it. I am very confused that everyone smelled strong pine scents, the first note that hit my nose was very stong black pepper...noone else?

Was given a bottle of this by my wife years ago. From what I remember, I was somewhat disappointed, as the scent did not last long in the hot Costa Rican summer heat. The pine scent most mention here was "derailed" by a strong, soapy note soon after application. I gave what was left away. An old bottle? Maybe not the best batch? My wife likes the scent - doesn't look too pricey, maybe I'll try a fresh bottle.

This is an interesting and quirky little thing. It's obvious Woodsy cozy outdoor pine, but not like Floor Cleaner, it's got a rich Lemon, but not sweet. It's actually more of an oily "Savory" Pine. It's Brightened up with a couple of tart notes of Bergamot, giving it an almost Fruity Earl Grey Tea smell.
Everything is there! Cedar, Lavender, Fir, Berries. Like a walk in the woods.
My mom was instantly taken back to her childhood with this
It's quite strong and Projects VERY well, especially in these cold Winter months in Cold air.
The Dry-Down is the BEST part.....It smooths out to a softer powdery Musky Pine, gets more sweet and powdery as time goes by.... Cedar, becomes so clear, i can see fresh cut sheets of PlyWood with red knots in it.... sweet red sap. *chuckle* Never would've thought Wood could be so enchanting. Blends very well with fabrics and sweaters you may wear, and my own body smells Harmonize really well. Feels natural, like it actually belongs on me. At least for me.
This... quirky, cute little Classic.
Price is not costly, so give it a try this Holiday :3

Alfarom said everything there is to say about Pino Silvestre. The bubblebath is still widely popular even though the scent is not what it used to be when I was a kid. Then it used to have a deep underwood perfume that now has left place to a synthetic pine aroma.
It's years I haven't smelled a Pino Silvestre EDT; it's still widely available in supermarkets, still cheap, still popular.
Every mature man used to wear this scent (along with AQUA VELVA - does anyone remember this?) in the '60es and I recall wanting to use it myself. Every now and then I stole a few drops of it from my grand-dad bottle (who used Pino Silvestre alternatively with Chanel's Cuir de Russie ...) and loved its refreshing tone. I can't see why two perfumes so different like Cuir de Russie and Pino Silvestre found place together, but my grandfather, a most elegant gentleman, used and loved both.
What Pino Silvestre is today, it's a different story and maybe in no place in the world it could be found next to a Chanel Cuir de Russie bottle.

I was hoping this would be more airy & piney like walking through a pine forest kind of smell but it's not to me. It's heavy and it has nothing to do with over applying. The pino silvestre shampoo smells like what I wish the edt was.

I think I may have a "too old" bottle of this - all I can smell is old, stale cooking herbs - must be the thyme. The pine is there, but it's not really in the forefront - it's eclipsed by the kitchen odor.

Don't consider this a typical review - I'm thinking I need to obtain a newer example before my mind's been made up :)

Cítrico, suave, tradicional, gostoso para momentos bem informais e para o trabalho...

i just got this cologne and i think its great maybe best used in fall and winter nice woodland smell is very fresh love it

This is a fragrance I will always associate with my dad. My mum brought it for him from her trip to Italy, some time in late 80s I guess, and he had never worn anything else since. To me it smells really woody and dark green, like a fresh Christmas tree or being in the middle of the pine forrest. However, my husband thinks it smells like a toilet/car refreshener....need I say my dad was NOT impressed???

I desperately wanted to like this cologne, since I think the bottle is amazing in a very 'vintage' way. I tested it at a perfume shop and although the strong pine scent is very sweet and genuine, I think it's a bit much for everyday wear. As another member mentioned, there is one note: Pine! I kept waiting for other notes to appear and they didn't.

If you're an italian, born somwhere between 1955 and 1975, you can't be familiar with Pino Silvestre. This composition reached an incredible popularity during those years as it was widely available almost anywhere around Italy. It was extremely easy to buy being ridicolously cheap and readily available just next to the pasta's shelves in any supermarket. It was offered in an huge range of products going from the classic EDT to the (almost) 5 gallons family format bbubble bath/shower gel via aftershave and deodorant so that almost any italian family had at least a product labelled as Pino Silvestre in their bathrooms.

My mother was a fan of the bubble-bath version and used to buy huge amounts of it. As a child, I grew up showering with Pino Silvestre for more than a decade till I reached a level of complete saturation. I can easily say that my chidhood has been marked by this composition.

Now, as an adult, I associate Pino Silvestre with two types of situations:

1) A good one: Me and my family used to go camping at the seaside during the summer, and after the whole day on the beach we all used to shower with Pino Silvestre. It was a relaxing moment, happy and lighthearted. It was vacation time.

2) A bad one: After 15-20 days of camping around italy we usually came back home and I had to start my personal countdown to go back to school. It was the end of summer, days started to shorten and showering at the evening with Pino Silvestre was the sign that another day before getting back to school was passed.

After more than 30 years I can't honestly see myself wearing Pino Silvestre but I surely understand why it's still very popular all over the world (expecially outside of italy).

Rating: 10/10

@Papi: Fille en aiguilles, de Lutens... but more complex and more expansive...

No way this is a pine frag - please give me some more examples of real pine's :-X

I like it! A nice and old time scent: I wasn't born when it was a best seller and I use it like a "revival" one...
Only four notes (pine, pine, pine and pine), but refreshing as if you were in mountain's forest. I think it's very wearable in summer, with a sense of humour!
8/10

I wish it was more liked by guys nowadays, instead the sickeningly sweet mixes most of them use, I wish they stuck with soap and head and shoulders instead.

So green and pine overdose. It's too direct and linear, nothing but pine, only pine and a little soapy mood in dry down.
Personally I prefer smell this from another bottle. Bottle is out of style and funny but the scent is OK though I don't prefer perfumes which smell on only one note.

If you enjoy green fragrances you really can't go wrong with Pino. It's like walking though a forest full of pine trees and picking up on the other various greeneries around. I only wear this when playing golf and it'll forever remind me of it. Don't know if it improved my score, but I hit a lot better when I'm wearing it.

I am a woman and my father used this so my review might be biased :)

This is a true classic, a cult in the history of a true gentlemen's perfume. It's sharp and strong but gives you a piece of nature with each spray. Although the pine seems in middle notes, all I smell from this perfume is pine! A well-groomed 1950s gentlemen, intellectual and adventurous,a round-table knight by heart...

This fragrance is ageless... <3

This one smells great, its like having a walk in the woods in the middle of the winter night ,i looove this one

After the abysmal reactions to Polo and Azzaro, the SA told me beforehand it was "old men stuff". It wasn't as bad as I'd expected though.
Very bad longevity.

and i still remember the first time o use it, the place i go to, OMG

harika ve ferah bir parfüm

Simple, genuine pine. Is everything it advertises itself to be. Really hard to go wrong with this. It's just clean, fresh, natural-smelling, and for the money it's superb.

It´s so wonderfully fresh, ok so there is a lot of pine notes, but you really can feel that everything about it is very very natural, makes one happy.
I really cannot detect any chemicals, and that is very rare.

*Update from previous review of the Pino Silvestre Sport Cologne launched in 2008:

After having worn this for a few days, I can now detect a semi-sweet muskiness to the drydown, but it comes at least a couple of hours after the top notes.

Not really expected considering the very strong citrus opening, but very nice indeed!

*Note - This is actually a review of the Pino Silvestre Sport Cologne launched in 2008 (it's not listed on the database). It has a yellow top rather than the traditional green one in the original version.

This is a wonderful fresh citrus & pine fragrance that immediately gives you a lift. In the initial spray I detect a strong lemon note that really stands out, but soon the pine notes come through with the lemon for a really nice zesty combination. It reminds me of the feeling of having just come out of a day spa.

From what I could find on-line, the notes are:
Top: tangerine, ginger, petitgrain
Mid: orange flowers, carnation, jasmin sambac, magnolia
Base: white amber, vetiver, tolu balsam, musk

Although there is no lemon or pine in these notes, I guess that the combination of all these above notes somehow produces what I can actually smell; a very nice lemon/pine combination!

Longevity: 4 out of 5
Sillage: 3.5 out of 5

I would recommend this fragrance for almost any occasion, except maybe a formal affair.

Notas de limon, hierbas en la cabeza, un corazon aromatico de pino, aportan verdor y frescura a las maderas, ambar y almizcle de base, otorgando una fragancia masculina, con la frescura de un bosque de coniferas, no dulce.

My dads used this always. He has passed away...so this reminds me of him and even dalmatian pine forests.

Just Superb! Nothing alike
Add.: A fragrant formulating store had just bring me a 20% concentrated PINO (EDP), wow it is very powerful and long lasting. I love & enjoy it!

Nice fresh fragrance. Inexpensive and inoffensive- a very charming scent for people with a sense of humour...

Mi primera colonia :-)

My first cologne :-)

At this time of year this stuff will come in handy...use it to spray your Christmas tree! And voila! Instant pine-ey smell!

Pure and natural - this is what I love about this fragrance (and I'm a female). It smells spicy and herby on me and is good to wear on a rancid summer's day. A lot better than most of the fake generic smelling female fragrances out there and I certainly wouldn't hesitate wearing this over Chanel or Nina Ricci.

hello.because i can't find this perfume,is there any other fragrance to smell like the Pino Silvestre Original ?

Excellent freshness,reminiscent of walking thru the park on a crisp winter's day!!

This is a lovely clean fragrance, very old-fashioned. The pine and spice notes are very dominant. It has only reasonable silage and lasting qualities - I would have preferred if it was a little stronger. My 18 Year old daughter liked this very much and so I gave it to her.

I really like this cologne! Smells fresh, yet full of intrigue. The only problem is it only seems to last a couple of hours on me. Not sure if I just get used to it or it's really short-lived. Anyway, I am so glad I took a chance and bought this cologne. I used this website to study the colognes I like and then used that knowledge to find a new cologne that I thought I would like. And I do!

I love this. It reminds me of walking with my parents in Ripponlea, Melbourne, in the 1960's, on a summer's evening going for ice-cream. There were some cyprus trees growing as a hedge along the front of a house and the warm air released a fragrance from those trees. Something in this scent takes me right back to that time and place.

It is a traditional scent of excellent lasting, for men with classic style.
It has a fragrance of strenght notes. It is not indicated for those who like new features and sweet perfumes.

wOw!!!!!!!! My dad used this some times like a sort of aftershave... when I was a child :)
I don't know if its the same smell of that antique bottle of him... However, I remember this one its very aromatic, strong -almost gaudy- but fresh at the same time. Very green, smell of resins, carnation... and for some reason Im remember a hint of leather too... maybe i was confused by the cedar.
Definitively not for girls i guess...

it's nice.I wear it like a base note and put some other fruit note on it.
