Uomo Mare

Carlo Colucci · 2005

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Carlo Colucci Uomo Mare is a fresh, aquatic men's fragrance that opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and ginger; it has been discontinued. The top is citrus-bright, with mandarin orange and bergamot sharpened by ginger and lavender. In the heart, coriander and cardamom add a spicy edge while jasmine and violet soften it with a floral touch. The base of musk, amber and rosewood dries down woody and warm. The overall impression is fresh, lightly spicy and touched by chypre. It sits somewhere between cool and spicy. Lancaster Eau de Lancaster and Christian Provenzano Sirocco have a close profile.

Wood of Oud

7.3

Scentiments

Green · Sweet · Synthetic

Scentiments Wood of Oud is a resinous, smoky men's fragrance that sets sweetness and spice against a woody base. Its sillage is rated good, with half of the voters giving it a high rating, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. The character reads clearly masculine. Sichuan pepper and cardamom open with a sharp, spicy edge. Rosewood and spices form the heart, and the base settles into oud, sandalwood, amber and woody notes. Green and earthy tones keep the sweetness in check. Its profile is close to Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and The Dua Brand Bois Oudh.

Double Dry

7.0

Superdry · 2011

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Superdry Double Dry is a fragrance for men that opens fresh and fruity, then moves toward a spicy, woody and resinous character. It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit, a bright and airy citrus layer. In the heart, Sichuan pepper, juniper and rosemary turn that freshness spicy and lightly aromatic. The base of frankincense, musk, oakmoss and rosewood leaves a woody, resinous and slightly leathery ground, with sweet and oriental touches staying in the background. The chypre character carries the citrus brightness toward a dry, balanced finish. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme Italian Zest and Karl Lagerfeld Jako (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
