4 Rosso is a solid fragrance, we certainly do not have to discuss, but for me this fragrance just does not open up. I know the 17 Rosso well and this has not liked me at all, simply unharmonious the whole thing, but also 4 Rosso strikes exactly in the same notch. Fortunately without this incredibly exhausting saffron and flowers combination (especially rose). Unfortunately, however, this also does not create 4 Rosso for me to make a potential purchase candidate.

Now I would like to explain what this is for me: 4 Rosso contains for me simply just saffron and rose, these are at least the omnipresent notes in 4 Rosso. This combination already exists so often that I have stopped counting. The only thing that makes 4 Rosso stand out minimally is the light smoke, vanilla, caramel and amber notes, but unfortunately these notes don't manage to break free from the rose-saffron stranglehold. Now a few words about the top note: Bergamot and angelica I smell here with the best will not.

Of course, 4 Rosso will also find its fans, because the fragrance is not provocative and also the fewest will overtax, this is also due to the fact that the fragrance is very dimmed. Unfortunately, I find this "being dimmed" a disappointment. The reason for this is simple: I can also buy me a 17 Rosso, which offers more performance for the same price and for me even if I do not like this has more uniqueness than 4 Rosso.

Finally, I would like to say that 4 Rosso is for me a trivial and arbitrary fragrance, which hurts no one, but in return no one really needs. I would buy namely in any case the 17 Rosso and not the 4 Rosso. My taste (dislike) for 17 Rosso is completely irrelevant at this point. It just doesn't make sense to me why this fragrance had to come on the market. I have no problem with the Roberto Ugolini brand, but this fragrance is just solid at most and nothing more.

The similarity to "Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" I also do not really see I find 4 Rosso goes quite clearly in a different direction.

The durability is solid, but much worse than 17 Rosso. After a little over 8 hours, 4 Rosso was already completely gone on my skin. The silage is only perceptible for 2-3 hours over an arm's length and is already completely skin after 5-6 hours, also here 17 Rosso is much stronger.

Derby I received this morning as a filling and test this of course immediately. Now I would like to briefly explain what I imagined Derby for a fragrance: I have something fougère artiges expected in the direction of "Fougère Royale (2010) (Eau de Parfum) | Houbigant" , "Casamorati - Mefisto Gentiluomo | XerJoff" , "Scandal pour Homme (Parfum) | Roja Parfums" etc. expected, but this expectation has unfortunately not met at all. I have of course also no dupe of the previously mentioned fragrances expected, but at least something in the direction goes so a barbershop or Fougère fragrance.

A small similarity to "Air Tiger | Marc Gebauer" can also recognize with Derby. Now we come but moreover what I did not like at all. I make it short with the words of my environment: "You stink". Yes Derby smells for me also very unpleasant. There is for me here permanently such a sweat association mixed with a fuel oil or oil note. For me, this combination is really unbearable, but at least I had no washing up compulsion with Derby.

I can detect the following notes: Cardamom, allspice, myrrh, caraway, patchouli, birch, woods and vetiver. Here it is already clear that Derby is very far from a Fougère. In principle, this would be nothing bad, if the fragrance was pleasant and I would like.

The durability is solid but not that good. I could perceive Derby mere 7 hours and the silage is also rather restrained and merely perceptible for 3 hours at an arm's length and then Derby is quickly quite skin. Here I would have really expected more, especially in comparison with the other Roberto Ugolini fragrances.

I received Les Brumes as a sample with an order. I knew nothing at all about this fragrance before this review. This kind of complete blind test I find but always very interesting.

After spraying on, it was me but equal here quite nauseous. A actually well done mandarin, mountain moth and orange top note, is immediately almost eliminated by the absolutely unpleasant combination of green notes, which sting extremely with the top note and the floral notes and the cardamom. This is definitely not how I want to smell. This scent has something of toilet cleaner mixed with vinegar essence, here I must really say disgusting. This scent is a nightmare. For me it seems as if here was thought: "Come we throw everything purely what smells like summer and mix it for the durability with cardamom and something woods".

Les Brumes is really a scent I could barely stand to the end. This scent repels me extremely.

The durability is with 6 hours fortunately not so good, and also the Silage is always under an arm's length and also after something over 3 hours finally skin.

Cologne du Maghreb I wanted to test for some time, especially after the successful for me blind buy Tauer Orange Star. Cologne du Maghreb I have imagined as a unique fragrance for the summer, which brings the typical Tauer properties, uniqueness and good durability. Cologne du Maghreb was able to fulfill the uniqueness 100%. A classic cologne with a special twist. Unfortunately, the shelf life is more than disappointing for me, but more about this later.


Cologne du Maghreb opens with a baltic load of orange. The individual orange varieties I could not recognize. After the orange subsides, a herbal note is added, which helps Cologne du Maghreb to a very good independence. I can detect rosemary, lavender and sage. After about 30 minutes, a slight dextrose note comes through, as other perfumos have described. I think this comes from neroli and the orange blossom combined with a very gentle rose note. I can't really detect the base with the exception of the vetiver.

Unfortunately, it goes after about 30 minutes already to the end with Cologne du Maghreb, more precisely after a little over 30 minutes Cologne du Maghreb is already weakening. After 2 hours Cologne du Maghreb is already completely skin and after 3 hours completely disappeared. This low durability is just too little for me, especially because 2-3x re-spraying a day just gets too expensive. Cologne du Maghreb is just too expensive for me to forgive or accept this poor durability. For 50€ per bottle I would accept it but not for 119€. The silage is unfortunately as weak as the shelf life

Unfortunately, it creates Cologne du Maghreb thus not in my collection, even if the fragrance is perfect for me and is really one of the best Colognes I have smelled so far.

Yesterday I received my blind buy Bergamask. I am always very excited about fragrances from Alessandro Gualtieri, but so far none of his fragrances have managed to land in my collection permanently, or to get beyond a bottling. My hope was that Bergamask could do just that. My problem with Alessandro Gualtieri fragrances until now was often this extreme synthetic or even a very strong animalic.

I would like to go now briefly on my opinion of the name Bergamask, because I find this not well chosen. A fresh component there is of course in Bergamask, but I find this has almost nothing in common with a bergamot except to trigger a feeling of freshness. Here I can only say the name just does not fit at all.

Bergamask is for me a synthetic fragrance, who does not like that should already take the legs in hand and run, because the synthetic is omnipresent here. I think that Bergamask also contains natural substances such as orange oil, which also creates this feeling of freshness, but this orange note never really appears. I am of the opinion here that orange oil was used for the fresh top note. After about 10 minutes, the fresh already increasingly retreats and gives the stage to the synthetic. I am 100% sure that a lot of Javanol is used here, which is supposed to create a woody smell, especially the smell of sandalwood. The next very dominant note is clearly musk, which has also been used in excess here. After a little over an hour, Bergamask is a sandalwood and musk bomb with occasional fresh breezes, which come out ever so slightly from the top note.

I've always felt with Bergamask that, like Fantomas, Alessandro Gualtieri has deliberately made the fragrance synthetically unhinged, that the scent keeps bouncing around between notes but never finds a proper progression. Bergamask is the complete opposite of Roja, for example, where the separation of top note, heart note and base note has top priority, as well as the gentle sliding into each other of the different levels. Bergmask is planned chaos in the bottle, there is simply no structure here except for a briefly normal-looking top note. Bergamask is fascinating dissonance in a flacon a fragrance without rules and typical structure.


I oscillate with Bergamaks permanently between extreme fascination and hatred, sometimes blows me again a breath of Bergamask where I think to myself just madly great and already 20 minutes later I think at the next breath Bergamask igitt, wash off immediately. It is a fragrance, which permanently roller coaster rides with the sensations of the wearer.

Bergamask has definitely now earned a place in my collection, because this fragrance manages to fascinate and excite me like hardly any other fragrance. Previously, I have experienced it with no perfume that my impressions change so much when wearing. Alone already therefore I would like to own Bergamask.

Bergamask is for me, nevertheless, the most accessible fragrance of Orto Parisi, it is not so difficult to like this, or to wear.

The durability is really extreme like all fragrances of the brand, this is of course also due to the synthetic, which was used here generously. I can smell Bergamask without problems 16 hours on my skin. The silage I find with a little over an arm's length even relatively weak for the brand, which is not bad for me. Bergamask holds this silage for about 9-10 hours before the fragrance then slowly becomes skin tight.

As a tip: Washes after spraying Bergamask the hands otherwise you have constantly the smell of the metal lid on the hands and smells this again and again. Therefore, there is from me also 3 points deduction for the bottle, because I find this somewhat annoying.
