Trussardi Trussardi for women

Got this in a bargain of three different ones for the prize of one.. This review so far will be from paper and nozzle. The smell is really different from what I normally use. The one that comes to mind is Niki by Niki de saint phalle, but this describes only first impression of Trussardi. This is throughout my fifth year collecting one of about five from fifty bottle designs I dont like. I guess its vintage and classy but I like seethrough bottles best. Have to get back while wearing it, I hope all those notes can make the perfume justice -Preferably on me !
Now wearing it...
- Very original, like Niki, even on my body, creamy smooth ,soft like, but not the smell like baby powder, Cant deside weather I like it or not. A lot of notes , but its hard to sense them through the smoothiness... Very ladylike skin scent to me ,I can probably wear it and smell nice but its not really me.... I was really surprized by the smell just looking at the bottle. Softer than what I had thought. Very nice leather drydown !
I like the drydown best - worth waiting for !
Really well done anyway !
Class !

Soft and light. I find this easy to wear and very elegant.

This is the first perfume that I purchased online that I am ecstatic about! Trust me, I have purchased many perfumes. Each of my online perfume purchases went right back to the seller, except this one. This is my new favorite perfume. I am in my mid 20’s, but I have been wearing Paloma Picasso since my teens. I am allergic to most perfumes, and unfortunately it’s nearly impossible for me to choose a perfume that doesn’t make me sick as I absolutely cannot stand sweet or fresh perfumes. This perfume hits you right in your nose as soon as you sprits it, but after a few minutes it becomes a soft yet complicated fragrance that has this sort of pungency to it. This perfume is certainly for a confident woman with a strong sense of self. Those of you, who wear this perfume, can relate to what I am trying to say :). I would love to find more perfumes that are in a similar fragrance family!

I'm lousy at discerning a perfume's notes -- especially if there are so many of them.

What I CAN say is this: I tried Trussardi on three different occasions, and ended up buying myself a bottle today.

On me, it goes on like a floral with a fair dollop of spice (coriander?). There's a bit of a minty "zing" to it as well (aldehydes and green notes?).

In a short time it becomes creamy, powdery, soapy, and smells like a very clean patchouli. Reminds me a wee bit of Tom Ford's White Patchouli; however, Trussardi seems like it is made of better stuff, quality ingredients.

Yes, it is strong but, surprisingly, not that much of an 80s powerhouse on me. Still, go easy.

Im in love, Im in love, Im in love.....again. I have had a bottle of this stashed away for a while, another ebay bargain, and today thought I'd give it try. Its just beautiful. I adore Cabochard and Bandit, so very drawn to leather scents, this fits me perfectly. The leather, oakmoss and cedar give this fragrance a masculine slant with the aldehydes keeping it smelling very clean. After the inital blast of sharp greens the floral notes rise to the surface making this a very classy, comforting fragrance. Not brash like Bandit or cutting as Cabochard, Trussardi is a much kinder leather scent.

I love it so much! A touch masculinity and aldehydes make it so irresistible and sexy.
Trussardi is one of the best in creating fragrances for strong confident women. As always exceptional quality. Excellent job Trussardi!

Wonderful perfume! I feel like a queen everytime I'm wearing it. It's strong, classy, sensual, so Italian.

Am I cursed?!?
I just got my mini and, after cautiously trying one tiny dab on one wrist only, I can say this is not 'my' fragrance... It is definitely interesting but I find it too masculine for me, and I really don't get anything else but an overwhelming cedar and a touch of oakmoss. No green notes, no flowers, not even geranium, which is odd as that is usually a pretty detectable note. I like the milk glass bottle though, just not the fragrance.

I call it 'my type of perfume'. Chypre, leather, smokiness, even the resinous effect of the unbeatable Rochas Femme lingers delicately on the skin. Great classic fragrance not only for winter. To me it epitomizes everyday elegance, not too 'chic' and not too 'common'- just a perfect balance which makes me feel so good, relaxed and self-confident.
If you like Cabochard, Miss Balmain, Rumba, Madame Jolie, Rochas Femme, the chances are that you will find it lovely as well.
Simply a classic with a sense of luxury.

On me this is a chypre-leather, and (with much thanks to everyone's reviews) it was a good blind buy, I might add!

It starts out loudly, finishes quietly, and feels like a classic!

I love the aldehydes combined with the citrus-green-galbanum opening! This one will most certainly wake you up! I get warm and earthy floral notes throughout the heart, but on my skin, this is a very brief phase. No specific floral note seems easily identifiable, except...maybe the tuberose? But most certainly not the ylang or geranium (which was a concern for me, I admit.)

The base emerges quickly and reminds me a little of Estee Lauder - Knowing...just add the leather note. So, for me the base is a bit of a dry, earthy leather, but not as dry as Cabochard. I imagine Trussardi will feel very fresh in the summer. This is when I prefer my chypres the most!!

Thank you all for helping me achieve another successful blind buy!!

And you are SOOO right Sofia!!

I am enjoying this fragrance a lot. It is very strong only in the first few minutes, once it settles in it is just wonderful. It is very much a classic scent in that it won't ever be out of fashion. I have developed a new found excitement about scents that have such a timeless smell. I really could envision walking around Rome wearing this taking in all the sights and architecture. This is a scent that is not for the timid. It is more for the developed nose that appreciates a complex formula. I used to care so much that others liked how I smell, now I like what I like and if others don't...too bad :)))It is a gorgeous fragrance and I love that is stays well on my clothes as well.

This is the eldest sister of Montana Parfum de peau. Both fragrances are very musky and leathery, but Trussardi is a little more complex, due to the presence of sandalwood, oakmoss, cedar and aldehyde.

Amazing sillage and lasting-power. It is pretty strong though so try to not over-do it.

I am still not sure I like this fragrance on me. The top notes are too fecal and pungent animal for me. Not sure about the drydown either. I had two bottles of this; gave one away to a friend. Smells fantastic on her.
Oh well, I will wear it once in awhile. I have changed my mind about a fragrance I didn't like before. Maybe it is just my own chemistry at this particular time.

I bought this on my hunt for a replacement for Fendi, and this has many similar notes. Plus, I read these comments and took your advice, so thanks for the truly genius. discerning posts!

Not the same as Fendi, but oh my, this is a seriously captivating and addictive perfume. A bit brash at the opening, smelling slightly dated and strong to me, but oh, the middle notes and drydown are very, very warm, sensuous and truly addictive. I keep smelling myself to enjoy it!!
I'm no perfume nose, but your amazingly clever ability to recommend this one was spot on.
Thanks!

The first words that came out of my mouth upon applying TRUSSARDI were: "Made in the '80s". This is a big, bold, strong, classic chypre which bears also a family resemblance to and kept reminding me of ARPEGE. Perhaps it's the ylang, rose, jasmine, styrax, sandalwood, aldehydes, vanilla, muguet, tuberose, geranium, coriander, patchouli...?

What makes TRUSSARDI something of an uber-chypre is its notes of galbanum and orris root, I think. The sillage is not, however, overwhelming, for the oakmoss is not a dominant note, but only one among many--modern chypres often contain a couple of the "requisite" notes, but TRUSSARDI has them all! Plus leather, to boot! (-:

This is a serious perfume appropriate only for cold weather. Longevity is good. If you like ARPEGE, then in all likelihood you'll like TRUSSARDI. On the other hand...

It really acts differently on different people, I loved it on another, bought it,tried it, result terrible! I really think it's an interesting scent but didn't work for me!

A WINNER for classy chypre women!

This is for the edt in the milk glass bottle: For me, this is very similar to vintage Paloma Picasso, which I wore throughout the late eighties, early nineties; it's far more complex and less harsh than Montana, in my opinion(but I can see some similarities). I also hadn't equated it with a soapy feel, but it actually does vaguely remind me of vintage Safeguard (in a good way). The woody patchouli, cedar and sandalwood are perfectly balanced with the green side (herbs & geranium), just enough leather & spice to add heat (but not make overtly "spicy"), a hint of incensey amber to make sexy, & white flowers and ylang-ylang to girl up the rough edges. I also like that this is spared the overly peppered and way too harshly powdered notes that so many heavy hitters from this decade tend to contain - and ruin for me (K de Krizia, for example). A little goes a long way, has several hours of staying power, but not a whole lot of sillage. If you were to apply enough to create much sillage, it would be too much for you (the wearer) to bear. Very nice classic chypre.

From what I read here one could tell that this fragrance behaves really differently based on skin chemistry and/or weather. A colleague of mine is using this fragrance and I love it on her. She wore it also during hot summer days and I got lovely cold fresh rose-white flower whiffs from her all day. I really didn't notice the warmth nor the leather, but maybe it showed up after she left work. I agree it is a bit similar to Eau du Soir (which I also admire) but not to Eau des Merveilles, at least not to my nose.
I think its a great fragrance and if you have the opportunity do try it. Or just buy a bottle, its really cheap nowadays.

My first perfume! I was only 22 :)) Just beginning with my professional life.. wanted to have something that would describe my personality at the first smell :))) It smelled all-over interesting, wise, daring, intelligent and charming tome. It was too sophisticated for that age maybe... but now I am willing to try it again

There's no trussardi ACTION here??? That was my favorite parfum when i was in high school...

so so soapy and smell like Montana but really classical scent , I love this.

So smoky... close to Montana! =/ I don't like it!!

This is a beautiful cyphre, very elegant. It is not at all sweet - it actually starts quite aggressive - the aldehydes and green notes hit you from the start. The middle note is very short lived - I got the orris root and the lilly-of-the valley, no rose.... for some reason I felt the rose more on the drydown - a little powdery - and definitely a patchouli and leather finish.
Absolutely gorgeous on the right woman. I envision someone very fashion conscious - a Cruella de Ville type, in love with leather coats.

Not bad, but it annoys me, because of it I have a headache

On my skin this fragrance releases its beautiful side - wonderful soft and warm smell of leather. Whenever I wear it, i imagine a nice autumn - sun is shining, I'm walking in the park, stepping on the golden, red, bronze colored leaves...Wearing a light brown leather jacket and a long striped scarf:)
This fragrance is really a bit similar to Hermes "Eau des Merveilles".

Horrible on me, as well. It's this "classic" kind of perfume that I just can't stand.

Just lovely, for the one who likes chypre type of fragrances. Classic, a bit green and at the same time powdery. Not too strong, pleasant mellow sillage. Great for everyday and for the office, as it's quite subtil and not romantic at all.

Similar to Hermes' Eau Des Merveilles, but lighter/softer.
