I bought this by mistake thinking it was Francesco Smalto. Well it was a good mistake because this is everything I like in a cold weather fragrance… Woody, masculine, manly floral, fresh, unique and memorable. There is nothing that smells like it, not even close in my 200 bottle fragrance collection. I initially bought this for autumn, but after a few wearings I see it much better in cold days of winter. There is a note in it that is extremely uplifting, inspires my mind and clears my sinuses – literally! It’s almost like the effect of a menthol note but it doesn’t smell like menthol, if that makes sense. This fragrance has enormous sillage so go light on the trigger. I can see this as a love-hate kind of fragrance, it’s definitely not for everybody, and I can see some people reacting very negatively because of that sinus clearing note. As for me, I love it! Pure class and ideal for a gentlemen on special occasions on cold days. In the summer heat this would be lethal and way out of place!

حينما تدكر فرانسيسكو سمالطو في المملكة المغربية تجده مألوفا لأنه وبكل بساطة مصمم الأزياء العالمي الإيطالي الدي كان مفضلا ومقربا عند الملك الراحل الحسن الثاني .
رجل الموضة بامتياز كبير هذا الذي عرف بعشقه للمغرب الى ان توفي فيه ، له أيضا صيت كبير في مجال العطور رغم انها تعد على رؤس الاصابع .
وكما يقول المثل الشهير << يوجد في النهر ما لا يوجد في البحر >>!
نعم ، إن العنوان البارز لعطور فرانسيسكو سمالطو الرجالية هو الأناقة تماما كأناقة تصاميمه في اللباس !
أن تتردي بدلة من إبداع هذا المصمم الإيطالي هو بنفس الجمال حينما ترتدي عطرا من عطوره .
بدأت تجربتي مع عطور سمالطو في بداية التسعينات مع عطره الاول فرانسيسكو سمالطو بور اوم صاحب العلبة الزرقاء الذي ظهر في سنة 1987، وكم كانت اللحظات حينها جد جميلة مع هذا العطر ؟
أما العطر موضوع الحديث اليوم فرانسيسكو سمالطو فور مان فإنه صدر سنة 1998 وينتمي إلى مجموعة عطور الأروماتيك فوجير ، والأنف وراء هذا للسيد بيير بوردون.
مكونات العطر من الرأس الى القاعدة حسب انفي يبدأ العطر بضهور مكون لافاندار والبرغموت وبسرعة يضهر البابونج والعسل الابيض بشكل واضح ويلتحق بهم طحلب السنديان كذلك ملحوض والذي لايمكن لي انفي أن يخطئه ولمحة خفيفة من خشب الصندل اما باقي المكونات فعلت دورها في الخفاء بشكل جيد الراتنج وعشبة الشيبة والفانيلا والتونكا .
حسب تجربتي مع العطر فهو يجمع بين الكلاسيكية والحداثة والسر في ذالك هو وجود مكون العسل الابيض مع البابونج ووجود هذا الأخير في العطر جعل رائحته مهدئة للنفس وتبعث على السكينة والارتياح .
وأقول لكم أنه منذ صدور هذا العطر سنة 1998 ، لم يطرأ عليه مايخدش نقائه وجودته بالإضافة الى ان رائحته ضلت متميزة ولاتشبه أي عطر ، جيد في الثبات الفوحان خصوصا في الأجواء الباردة والعمتدلة .
عطر فرانسيسكو فور مان صديق الخرجات المسائية والمناسبات السعيدة ويناسب أكثر اجتماعات العمل ، العشائات خارج البيت ، استقبالات ….
وفي رأيي ، يناسب هذا العطر البدلات الكلاسيكية والرسمية اكثر من اللباس الرياضي ، فعندما تجمع بين العطر واللباس الكلاسيكي يصبح هذا العطر ملكيا !
عطور فرانسيسكو سمالطو اصبحت مع الأسف نادرة الوجود في المحلات التجارية المتخصصة ، الا انه في المغرب وبسبب كثرة الطلب عليه تجده موفرا بين الفينة والأخرى .
جودته أفضل من كثيييييييييير من عطور النيش

Very very underrated parfume, longlasting as an eau de parfum.
A perfect Woody floral with great sillage, sophisticated and casual both. a compliment each time you wear it !

Unique , rich , sophisticated & resembles nothing i have ever smelt .. Incredible , this took my attention after the first wearing . Deserves to be highly spoken of in decades to come . Plenty of supercheap bottles available for the blind buyers .

I had my eye on this one for quite some time but never had a chance to try it, once I finally did, I was charmed. Absolutely not what I had expected, Smalto really surprised me with its unusual development.
It starts with strong bitter-sweet bergamot and lavender, retro and very masculine. Slowly, the scent warms up as the sweet-spicy honey becomes quite apparent. Not sure if its the chamomile in this combination, but I smell jasmine, and here Smalto reminds me a bit of Givenchy’s Ysatis-definitely unisex and elegant. Sweet, warm, floral-woody with a hint of old leather in the drydown; the whole thing just really works for me.

I think I have a reformulated version. The bottle and box look the same, but it is 50 mls. The fragrance is very leathery and doesn’t smell any thing like other reviews here. Although there is a hint of lavendar. Stay away… Lasts an hour or two and very linear.

I first tried this as a dab sample from a 100 ml bottle. At the time, perhaps two years ago, I felt that the the notes didn’t work well together, and it came across as a clash. However, I went back to it a couple of times over the next year or so because I did think the ingredient quality seemed good. Eventually, I realized that this was a low-cost alternative to Ungaro I, in the sense that if you like a dominant lavender/wormwood accord it might be just fine (though you would have to use more of the Smalto to get the effect you do in the Ungaro scent). It does have a bit of a balmy quality, so if you hate the idea of smelling like a body rub (I’ve read this in more than a few reviews) this is probably one to avoid.
UDPATE: I seem to be appreciating this one more lately. The ingredient quality seems very good and it has a kind of dry, woody, herbal, “rustic” quality to go along with the anise/absinthe type note, creating a niche-like effect, though of course it was released before people started to talk about “niche” scents. The balmy quality reins it in somewhat over time, but if you can get it cheap I think it’s worth owning just for the ingredient quality alone (considering the restrictions that now make such a scent impossible to produce by major companies, from what I understand).
UPDATE #2: Response to rienzope’s idea that 50 ml bottles are weaker. I obtained a 50 ml bottle and thought this was the case at first. The top notes have strong lavender (of what I call a shrill variety), and I think that causes olfactory fatigue. So, I decanted some into a dab vial and waited a couple weeks. Then I dabbed on more than usual (to the chest) and blew on the area to get rid of the top notes quickly. Sure enough, that worked and it now smells like the dab vial I obtained first (which came from a 100 ml bottle).
