Another Very Good Terre d'Hermes Clone?...
It is lazy pointing to another review instead of writing fresh material, but the new version of Mila Schon Uomo is so close to Bronze Age Homme, a composition I just reviewed, that it would be almost complete repetition to write an entirely new review here. As such, I recommend checking out my Bronze Age Homme Review at http://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Nu_Parfums/Bronze_Age_Homme for most of the objective note breakdown. One difference between the two compositions is Mila Schon Uomo (current) opens with a strong aromatic lemongrass accord Bronze Age Homme lacks, additionally adding a heavier dose of pink pepper to the woody citrus mix in its heart. Projection is above average and longevity good at about 10 hours on skin.
Mila Schon Uomo (current version) like its similar Bronze Age Homme near-twin prove one doesn't have to spend large sums of money to smell great. Like Bronze Age Homme, this is a lighter, brighter version of Terre d'Hermes. The primary difference between Bronze Age Homme and Mila Schon Uomo (current) is Mila Schon Uomo (current) swaps lemongrass at the open for the initial grapefruit of Bronze Age Homme, while ramping up the pink pepper in both the open and moreso in the heart accord. This increased peppery aspect gives the composition an almost powdery makeup-like sheen missing from Bronze Age Homme. Other than those differences the two are interchangeable and owning both is probably unnecessary. Like Bronze Age Homme, Mila Schon Uomo (current) does not impress as much as Terre d'Hermes or Tzora by Anat Fritz, but presents a viable alternative for purchasers on a budget or those seeking a bit lighter, brighter presentation. If I had to choose between Bronze Age Homme and Mila Schon Uomo (current) it is almost a toss-up, but I would go with Bronze Age Homme as it is less expensive and forgoes the least pleasant aspect of Mila Schon Uomo (current) -- its powdery makeup-like facet. The bottom line is the discontinued $20 per 100ml bottle on the aftermarket Mila Schon Uomo (current) proves yet again that compositions don't have to cost a lot to smell good, earning a "very good" 3.5 stars out of 5 and a solid recommendation to budget seekers that can't get their hands on a bottle of Bronze Age Homme, or prefer its lemongrass top note.
