I know I tried this years back but didn't stick in my memory so I figured it wasn't that great. I don't know if it's my changing taste or just the fact so much time has passed between revisiting? It could be the fact that the fragrance market this days is filled with the mundane and faddy and this seems dated yet uncomplicated and a welcome change? I get a fresh blast of aldehyde in the top notes of this fragrance which is also quite citrussy. This is a pretty perfect description of what a kumquat actually smells like, not necessarily a citrus smell as such but fresh and green by the same rule. The musk and spices come on gradually for me and it develops into a masculine scent but certainly no powerhouse. The coriander is prominent adding to the cleanness which to me is more fresh coriander leaves rather than seeds. So I rolled back the years and found a degree of appreciation for Moschino Uomo but the performance was a bit lacking. I like it, Uomo is wearable anyway.
Just revisiting this one because I actually bought a bottle cheap the otherday. As I mentioned in my previous review below, I remember this coming out as Moschino was a popular brand in the late 90's. (I mean it still is to some but seemed more prominent then.) I actually take back what I said about performance, it's not bad at all, easily lasting 8 hours. Another thing is the reminders of other fragrances. Uomo has this kinda 'trifle' vibe (bear with me) like fruit but with a milky custardy undertone. There's a reference below to MB Individuel/Creed Santal and that is very apparent in the opening, it has a strange synth element of HM, Dreamer and Kiton but also reassuring classical, clean, masculinity and musk. I guess the biggest reminder is in the drydown (and this is the trifle thing again) it's a hint of Chanel Allure edition blanche but just a touch less gourmand and more soapy. I actually really like this fragrance and I'm enjoying a wear today.
