Essenza del Tempo by Trussardi is fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Sophie Labbe. Top notes are bergamot, amber, carrot seeds and ginger; middle notes are flower petals and iris; base notes are coffee beans, balsamic vinegar and Virginia cedar.
This woody, powdery composition is placed inside a very elegant bottle, which is decorated with a false leather ribbon to show the tradition of the brand Trussardi. A symbol of a clock with Roman number is engraved in the back side of the bottle, which is a metaphor of time. It is also engraved in the metal top of the perfume and on the upper part of the box which contains the perfume.
The perfume is available as 50, 100 and 125 ml edt. Essenza del Tempo was launched in 2008.

Base Notes
On my skin Essenza del Tempo Trussardi starts fresh and clean, but at the same time-very flowery. Very soon the coffee notes are getting stronger and stronger…The fresh, clean, woody and floral notes can make you feel very comfortable and easy to wear. If there is only one word that I have to use to describe Essenza del Tempo Trussardi – that is Elegance. That is very stylish, very well balanced scent. I think it is a men scent, not too suitable for women. It is not overwhelming or cloying and the same time it gives you very interesting aroma of something natural...may be due to carrots notes? Or may be the secret is in the magic mix of coffee-cedar-amber- ginger? I can’t be sure, but I can tell you Essenza del Tempo Trussardi is a definitely very smart fresh-woody scent.
Longevity – it stays on me for about 6 hours.
Silage – good. Not a monster, but you can be sure it is not a subtitle scent – women around you will notice your Essenza del Tempo.
Projection – good – starts fresh, after that you can get some spicy notes and after that – coffee and amber can give you a nice, complex dry down.
All in all – very elegant, fresh, clean and woody man scent, that is suitable for casual events.
Age – good for 20+
I can recommend Essenza del Tempo Trussardi to all people who like easy going scents.
I got an incredible deal on this from Craigslist. The bottle is fabulous it smells okay. It starts off smelling like CK One to me, reminds me of my ex-husband in the 90's. After about 15 minutes, I get a slight whiff of balsamic vinegar, not in a bad way. This perfume is not as interesting and original as I hoped but for $20 its was worth it.
Finally I purchased a bottle and oh boy! I am glad I did it. The bottle is really nice. It really stands out and well-made. So now that I have a chance to really wear it. I do think that it's soft masculine and it's perfect for me.
The beginning is mild and sweet citrusy with a smooth and bitter coffee accord that doesn't really smell like you just walked into Starbucks. The floral notes are only thing that really stay truly unisex, is it neroli?! Anyway, the scent becomes slightly powdery and a little dirty. Finally I do smell cedar in the mix, but it's not very strong and aggressive like, for example, Terre d'Hermes. Now it's been 6 hours and I reapplied once. The scent still stay smooth, sweet, and powdery with citrus and wood. It's a versatile fragrance that everyone would admire.
So far This is my favorite from Trussardi, and I can't tell you how much I adore the bottle. I definitely will be wearing this more often now til the weather gets really cold.
Not something bad at all but its dry down bothers me.
It opens citric, as I expect from Trussardi, and something smells like petit-grain, maybe carrot seeds.
Not offensive and not unique too. Something a little bit higher than ordinary but in a fancy bottle.
Its dry down is cheap in my taste. When you're peeling an orange by hand and not by knife, its oily carbonic acid sticks on your hands, then when you're eating it, its fluffy inner skin (mesocarp) sucks the oil and you taste something gassy and oily bitter in its flesh. The dry down is a scent which reminds you that unpleasant taste, a little bit annoying. No strong personality and something exciting. Just a good perfume and that's it.
longevity 6/10

A masculine suede cologne. That's it. Nice bottle btw.
This has grown on me more and more, I tend to go for this when feeling a bit rubbish as it never feels too much. It just quietly and discretely smells good.
It's really strong perfume, very citrousy in the beginning, but woody (and quite masculine) in the base. It improves the mood in the sunny spring days, but the best would be in summer - sea, jeans shorts, white blouse, lounge music)))))
Trussardi ESSENZA DEL TEMPO is a rare case of a unisex fragrance that actually smells too masculine for me to wear comfortably. Although the notes sound provocative, I honestly do not smell any of these: carrot, coffee, iris, balsamic vinegar. This smells to me just like a generic quasi-aquatic/vetiver men's cologne--one among dozens--and while it might work during summertime, I probably would not choose to wear it given the many more appealing light citrus fragrances available.
That said, I would definitely recommend ESSENZA DEL TEMPO to guys looking for a cologne along the lines of the Creed water offerings, especially since this undoubtedly costs quite a bit less yet smells very similar.
Smells like Bvlgari the vert, just a bit more citrus yet very subtle and delicate. It became pleasant after an hour or two. Though it doesn't last forever, that's ok, I could always use more.
a clearly summer fragrance that gives a taste to the sunny days
Though it starts off very citrus and floral... I mean that in a good way... as it wears, it changes to a woody aroma... I don't know about the comment that it's not long lasting... Everytime I've used it, it's lasted all day.. way beyond 8 hours.
What I love best is the way it changes flavors as it wears... Amazing!
It is almost exact copy of good old (but not old-fashioned) perfume "Eau Jean" - french-soviet made ("ОЖЁН") by "Novaya Zaria". Citric-orange. This scent was very popular in USSR in 1980-xx. It was a hit. And it was marketed "for him and probably for you" that time - too. And it is still good. Where did they get it?
Profumo delizioso, senso di freschezza, pulizia e allegria, peccato che non è stato ancora realizzato anche la linea corpo

It's something I defiitely smelled before, rather masculine, fo everyday wear, but not too special.
Afriend of mine has it. The fragrence smells very good on her... some kind of flowers and sweetness in it. Very Nice!
Good fragrance, want more, longer!!
And why did Trussardi stop selling "Action Sport"? That was a really good one!
This fragrance is a very fine citrus-mix with aromatic accords, i dont get any coffee notes. But i have to agree with Vader its simple, ordinary and you cant lose the impression that you have smelled this before. Just a fresh-citric scent but nothing new. The longevity for a fragrance of this price range is extremely to short, just under an hour.
04 out of 10 points
Although it smells pretty good it is quite ordinary and longevity is poor. I was waiting much more from this fragrance...
