• Ungaro by Emanuel Ungaro

Ungaro is a lovely fragrance; in the beginning, it has a sweet flowery scent and smells somewhat of bubble gum. Despite being dominant, the aldehydic note does not dominate the scent or hide how expertly its floral, animalic, and citrus components are combined. Anyone who enjoys classic fragrances will enjoy Ungaro, which is about control and self-assurance.

• Senso by Emanuel Ungaro

This is a bottle that perfectly captures the glories of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Senso is a complex combination of subtle and mature notes that beautifully captures that period in perfumery. This fragrance is invigorating and uplifting. There are noticeable hints of grapefruit, mandarin orange, peach, and carnation. It starts out with the plum and peach, which have the almost dusty fruity aroma that the 1990s were known for.

• Diva by Emanuel Ungaro

This fragrance conjures up images of sparkling evening gowns, stiletto heels, opulent furs, eye-catching make-up, and flaming red lipstick. The initial whiff is rich and heavy, quite potent, but not overpowering, with notes of honey, rose, carnation, sandalwood, and civet. The dry down contains ylang-ylang, musk, aldehydes, and oakmoss. It is a lovely scent that is best suited for nighttime occasions and for special occasions because it would be overwhelming during the day.

• Desnuda by Emanuel Ungaro 

Desnuda’s opening notes and drydown are slightly lemony, the épices notes of pepper and cardamom are welcome, and the core notes expand onto a rich spring flower garden, where freesia and jasmine are prominent, along with a faint iris undertone. Over time, tonka bean, musk, and vanilla provide an unexpectedly comforting and fluffy welcome.

• Fleur de Diva by Emanuel Ungaro

Fleur de Diva is not especially striking, but it has an old-fashioned charm. It is clean smelling fresh green florals. Lacking in aldehydes, fruits, spices, resins, patchouli, amber, animal notes and other notes, this turns out to be a simple scent. The opening smells of rose, but not the rose in Diva which is a luxurious, golden amber and honey rose. This is a powdery soapy simple domesticated rose. It's an indoor rose. The dry down is musk, a warm light musk and a hint of wood. Nothing complex, nothing heavy. The scent is delicate, light, soapy, clean and very floral but again, ordinary.

• Top notes: Opens with Rosemary, Wisteria, Moroccan Rose, Lily, and Hyacinth
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Jasmine, Freesia, andLilyofthevalley
• Base notes: At the base, Musk and Sandalwood

BEST EMANUEL UNGARO PERFUMES FOR MEN

• Ungaro Pour L’Homme II

• Ungaro Pour L’Homme

• UNgaro Pour L’Homme III

• L'Homme by Emanuel Ungaro

• Apparition Homme Intense by Emanuel Ungaro

• Ungaro Pour L'Homme II by Emanuel Ungaro

 

Nowadays, animalic notes are somewhat rare and occasionally can be upsetting and strange, but not in this instance.

The civet in Ungaro II is remarkably beautiful; it is in no way loud, frightening, or obtuse. The best fragrances have harmonized elements, and in this case the civet plays a supporting rather than a leading role. It is not all or even mostly civet by any means, but a seductive blend oozing with luxury that is both mystifying and intoxicating and that feels somehow lighter than most other fragrances embedding animalic notes. It makes its presence known within the composition and then performs in perfect harmony with the other notes.

• Top notes: Opens with Basil, Orange, Neroli, Coriander, Bergamot, Lavender, and Lemon
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Pepper, Rose, Jasmine, Ginger, Orris, Geranium, and Carnation
• Base notes: At the base, Cedar, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Leather, Benzoin, Amber, Musk, Vanilla, and Civet
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Amber Spicy
• Longevity: 7 hours

• Ungaro Pour L'Homme by Emanuel Ungaro

 

Ungaro Pour L'Homme is the ideal masculine and timeless fragrance, starting with intense spices and finishing with a thud. Carnation and jasmine provide the sweetness in this fragrance, which is unusual for a men's scent but is expertly executed here.  It is a fancy, formal perfume that is too extravagant to use all the time. It certainly isn't your typical, calming, all-purpose safe smell. You use this not simply because you want to wear a fragrance, but because you want to create an aura.  There is nothing amusing or simple about it, yet it isn't dreary like Pour L'homme III.

• Top notes: Opens with Pine Needles, Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Lavender
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Wormwood, Jasmine, Rose, Clary Sage, Geranium, and Carnation
• Base notes: At the base, Honey, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Fougere
• Longevity: 10 hours
• Sillage: Strong

• Ungaro Pour L'Homme III by Emanuel Ungaro

 

This wonderful, fresh, light, sensual, and nuanced woody, spicy fragrance is a hidden gem that has stood the test of time. Ungaro III is a sophisticated Italian scent with an intriguing depth to it.  Each note is perfectly harmonized and complements the others. Since the fragrance is reminiscent of a barbershop, no one should be surprised to learn that it is an aromatic green concoction.It is ideal for use as an office perfume since it conveys the image of a highly mature man who can be trusted.

• Top notes: Opens withLemon, Mahogany, Orange, Sage, Coriander, Lavender, and Vodka
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Lilyofthevalley, Jasmine, Geranium, and Rose
• Base notes: At the base, Musk, Cedar, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Sandalwood
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Aromatic Green
• Longevity: 9 hours plus
• Sillage: Strong

• L'Homme by Emanuel Ungaro

 

L'Homme is a beautiful powdery, delicate, and sophisticated fragrance. It rapidly transforms into a gentle powder aroma and is very reminiscent of Dior Homme. There's also a hint of leather, but it's not mentioned in the notes and it's not nearly as powdery as some make it out to be. It's quite powdery, but thanks to the strong presence of lavender and cedar, as well as the lack of excessive sweetness, it doesn't smell overly feminine. It's comparable to Burberry Wood but without the violet notes. In general, it is a very nice fragrance for spring and fall.

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot and Black Pepper
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Sage, Lavender, and iris Flower 
• Base notes: At the base, Patchouli, Leather, and Cedar
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Leather
• Longevity: 4 hours plus
• Sillage: Soft
• Projection: Light

• Apparition Homme Intense by Emanuel Ungaro

 

A highly undervalued work of art by Olivier Polge that is functional, hospitable, and has a very cheerful, uplifted atmosphere. Apparition Homme Intense is a low-key oriental fougere that is both adaptable and wearable. It's easiest to think of this scent as a Valentine's Day gift basket next to a warm cup of vanilla chai latte and a strawberry rhubarb pie. The rhubarb, vanilla, amber, licorice, and anise are all sweet but gently combined into a warm, pleasant blend. This performs admirably for winter and the first few days of spring because it is cozy, easy on the wearer, and warm.

• Top notes: Opens withMandarin Orange and Rhubarb
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Coriander, Star Anise, and Tea
• Base notes: At the base, Licorice, Amber, and Vanilla
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Fougere
• Longevity: 8 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

Emanuel Ungaro has very interesting fragrances to choose from. Whether it is a date, an official engagement or just a regular day in the sun, you would find something that fits.
