Very appealing men's aromatic and not something I'd managed to smell until a friend sent me a sample recently and I was particularly impressed with how intact the top notes were considering the age of this. Bright citrus but specifically the basil chimes pretty big and makes for a different perfume to the usual crop of spicy/leather/woody perfumes this decade is reknown for. That could be the problem with this as well, for a perfume which came out in the decade of the powerhouse (and let's face it the previous decade was pretty powerful too) this is a bit of a strinking violet. Just a turn of phrase there, can't say I detected any violet. Not a strong perfume it's pretty tame leathery, carnation with that clove/cinnmamon again very subtley there, it's a little transparent and I can see a Halston Z14 comparison in spirit and subgenre rather than directly the smell. Enjoyable and worth seeking out if the price is right and has been stored well, however I defy anyone to have this as their favourite Men's fragrance of this era or any other, it's just not quite good or distinctive enough, that's not to say it doesn't go it's own way, Missoni Uomo just doesn't do it with enough purpose for me.
