    the review is for the EDC version, with the clear bottle.
    pontacco 21 was the address of the gianfranco ferre hq in milan, before it was selled to kiton. so we are talking about something very important for this house.
    classified as woody-chypre, it is a fresh-woody-flowery fragrance, the notes i detect more are neroli, lime,maybe citron, cardamom,cypress, rose, sage, patchuli…personally i dont find any leather and the final blend is a bit synthetic but in an high quality way, it doesnt smell cheap, absolutely not. it smells super clean with the quality of an old-school parfume.
    for me it is basically a fresh fragrance and in the most of times fresh-citrusy fragrances are very easygoing but in this case there is the most serious fresh cologne i ever tried. if u wear good life by davidoff u smile, with pontaccio 21 no joke. it is the scent for someone like a lawler, a judge,a director, someone very important with responsabilities.
    pontaccio 21 gives to me a strange picture: it reminds me an old elegant cinema-theater, freshly cleaned with purple curtains and uncomfortable woody armchairs. i know it may sounds depressive but for me it is a poetic memory. if i have to image someone who can wear this scent i think someone very serious with a severe look, like orson wells or sergio leone.
    overall, this is an high quality scent but not for everyone, better for mature crowd and for spring and summer. the strong opening can disturb someone but the drydown is very clean a and fresh, with pleasant floral notes.the performance is just good, it starts strong but after 30-40 min became softer. it’s quite unique, very hard to compare with something else. it reminds me a little bit versace l’homme, which is more wearable and versatile(i think the versace one is better than p21). it’s only my humble opinion so fell free to disagree. grazie per la lettura.

    I’ll try to keep this review short and simple.
    This is a classic Chypre with modern nuances: it mantains the necessary elements to be considered as one but adding other edges; citruses (orange, lime) all the way trough, a flowery heart relying mostly on rose and white flowers, some green woods (cypress) and a musky-balsamic-patchouli base (and I’d add labdanum and moss also to the mix).
    The blending is masterfully done; there are no sharp edges, the present bitterness is contrasted with some sweetness from the myrrh and the patchouli, the moss is also in such small proportion so it doesn’t come out as ‘dated’ but mature instead.
    If you don’t get a clear image of this one, think of a 90’s edition of VC&A Pour Homme and/or Oscar Pour Lui.
    Sure on the best blind buy I ever did.

    Voy a tratar de mantener esta crítica breve y simple.
    Este es un Chypre clásico con matices modernos: mantiene los elementos necesarios para ser considerado como uno de ellos pero añadiendo otros matices; cítricos (naranja, lima) de principio a fin, un corazón floral que se basa principalmente en rosas y flores blancas, algunas maderas verdes (ciprés) y una base almizclada-balsámica-pachulí (y yo añadiría ládano y musgo también al conjunto).
    La mezcla está magistralmente realizada; no hay bordes filosos, la amargura presente se contrasta con la dulzura de la mirra y el pachulí, el musgo también se encuentra en una proporción tan pequeña que el perfume no aparece como “anticuado” sino como maduro.
    Si no se tiene una imagen clara de éste líquido, piensen en una edición de los 90 de VC&A Pour Homme y/o Oscar Pour Lui.
    Seguro una de las mejores compras a ciegas que hice.
    10/10

    The citrusy element stayed a long time (seems to be mostly orange). Other than that, it’s smooth, smells natural, but really doesn’t do anything for me. I’d buy it for say $10/50 ml (I only have a sample now) but I don’t detect anything about it (dab sampling) that would lead me to think I “need” a bottle. I didn’t get much leather, as others did, but for citrus and leather with some smoothness (especially if you think there’s a note clash in Aramis), Clint by Avon is quite good and can still be found at reasonable prices (sometimes) on ebay.

    A bitter opening on skin, leathery and tannic: cardamom rules, but suavely. Soon it opens up and flowers, settling down to a dry, elegant and discreet bouquet. It sits down near my skin just like a purring kitten, ready to enthrall in a complicate spell the ones who get too near.
    I found this perfume by chance, and its bittersweet complexity has caught me in a trap.

    I have never smelt Kenzie 10, a lot reviews have it as a dirty oily leathery aroma which might have a sex appeal to it? When I first tried Gianfranco Ferre Pontaccio 2, I thought that this fragrance had a wierd or strange aroma. After the frag settles it starts to take on a warm leathery tone with rose note which helps to gell the notes effectively together. Myrrh also gives it that much need boost which gives this juice depth. Finally rosemary, sage and juniper berries giving it a real verbal appeal.
    Longevity and Silage are both very high lasting well past 8hrs.
    Final thoughts,
    I never thought that I would consider this fragrance. As I said before, purfumery’s are currently using more synthetic materials to duplicate the same aroma. I just wish that these fragrance would still be available in the market. If you have this frag you know what I’m talking about.
    An amazing GEM of a fragrance.

    Nice scent and similar to aramis by aramis but hard to find it …

    Extremely underrated. It’s impressive the quality and the balance. For aficionados only.

    An elegegant scent which, as mentioned below, reminds at first of Aramis, but soon develops into a more citric direction. The similarity to Aramis, however, makes this one more suitable for mature men. Although it’s not as heavy as some classic fragrances, it reminds one too much of the old times to be worn by younger gents. Therefore, if you are over 50 and can spot it somewhere, you should give it a try.

    I love this one, it smells fresh and dry at the same time. The flower and citrus elements are so balanced, it could be a feminine fragrance but there is this powerful duo of coffee and sandalwood that gives it an edgy masculine feel. I don’t understand why coffee is not listed on the notes, because it’s so real and well done. The same goes for the lime and all the ingredients as well. Get it before it disappears.
