Emanuel Ungaro for Him, from Emanuel Ungaro was released in 2019. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Nutmeg, middle notes of Cinnamon, Orris Root, and Palisander Rosewood, and base notes of Cedarwood, Musk, and Tonka Bean.
This fragrance is simply an abomination. Why? Why does it exist? I know how fragrance pricing works and the cost of manufacture but they're not even trying to hide the fact it's a dud because it's brand new and hit the shelves at bargain basement prices. The awful look of the bottle should've repelled me but I'm so curious and such a glutton for punishment I never dismiss anything....Imagine if it had have been amazing? I think to myself... Wishful thinking I'm afraid, Ungaro 'Art' is a monumental stinker. Now I'm not completely apposed to this kind of chintzy vibe, the playful hubba bubba undertone and hot pink hue and screech, but COME ON!!! Speaking of Screech the bottle 'artwork' if I dare to call it that looks like someone ate a 'Saved by the bell' & 'Fresh Prince...' back2back VHS tape and projectile vomited upon it's vulgar canister. I have to assume the name is ironic and the people who produced this god awful, noxious, fugg had their tongues firmly planted in cheek at the time. 'Art' ??? I mean it's an age old and thankless philosophical concept to unravel and I often come down on the liberal interpretation...everything is art. It's a problematic label though and while I might struggle to tell you what art is, I can much more easily tell you what it isn't. This fragrance is NOT ART. It takes this kind of stink to snap me out of my hippy fence sitting on the subject. I'd rather toke a bong of sarin gas or eat landfill to be honest. Everyone involved with this fragrance should be truly ashamed of themselves. Okay breaking character for a moment it's big, over sweet, bubblegum, tonka, thing which opens offensively but dries down...well... pretty offensively. It's not got the fairground charm or vaguely interesting theme's of Ultra Male. It's a low rent, cheap version of heavy 'night' scents with tonka or turbo coumarin, also Joop fragrances like the new Wow! and others but again makes them look accomplished. Is it really that bad?....no...but like come on? Are people really out there liking this? I mean there must be but why? I'm more annoyed with the lazy, cynical, anti artistry of this fragrance. I know, I know, it's not some artisan fragrance, (it's 'exclusive' in Superdrug FFS!) it's cheap and cheerful and not aimed at me...all that stuff but I'd like something in this category not to pander to trends and make something that's not just a big, sickening, soup for a change....is that too much to ask for?
