Description
Baldessarini introduces an oriental spicy fragrance, Baldessarini Strictly Private, which is appeared on the market in January 2009. This is a new campaign aiming at upper class, at man who chooses quality, luxurious editions, man who is a playboy.
Strictly Private is a masculine, charismatic and sexy edition, full of dynamism. Face of the fragrance is Werner Schreyer, known for advertisements for Hugo Boss perfumes, and photographer of the campaign is famous Kalle Gustavson.
Perfume Strictly Private is composed of basil and bergamot in top, with juniper berries adn pink pepper. Heart is dominated by masculine vetiver combined with fir resin, patchouli and rose absolute. Base notes incorporate a classic mixture of cedar, vanilla and amber with creme-brulee accords.
The flacon is luxurious, created of black glass, with a golden board with engraved name of brand and fragrance. Its simple, robust stopper completes the picture of quality of the edition. The perfume is available as 50 and 90 ml edt, with an accompanying program.

a-Line – :
I might have a allergy to this scent. It was a blind buy and I had previously had a good experience with Baldessarini’s other scents. Yeah, it is difficult to make a perfume for men that has so much rose in it, in my opinion. Put vanilla and amber to it and you have a nauseating combination that lasts years. The first hours are very strong and you have to consider amount of spraying on your body. It oozes and it is pungent. People get commenting on how strong it is and they may avoid you, at least when sober. In small amount and from a good distance, one may start to like it. Definitely not a day perfume or even for work in office. Yes to the evening night out, perhaps after something to loosen up and looking for a partner either a new one or your steady one. It is also suitable for in between the sheets, but again not too much. It is a strong pungent blend.
Lion_13 – :
Smells like a Montale without that cheap oud !!!
DaheZ – :
very sweet amber vanilla scent
no rose that i can detect
and very poor performance on my skin
it lasts only about 30 minutes top
and not special enough to make me remember this
quite unisex in fact
babamazer – :
What a great cheapie
This is a really strange perfume ,dont be confused by the opening ,this is a really well balance and a great blend
The vanilla and creme brulee is just amazing on the drydown
The only perfume i find similar not in smell but the way it perform is midnight in Paris that is really soft and a beast at the same time
My personal opinion this better but by alot than tom ford noir extreme
On my skin last 12 hours no problem ,this get estrogen as time passes
Niche quality will buy one or two more,yes is that good
ecy772InsuffBooni – :
The 1st time when i tried this fragrance on the store; IDKW, my nose says; I felt like the scents is really oldschool & It’s strong. I think it’s match for your dad or men up 40s. I can say that because I’m still young, you know haha. Don’t ever try blind buy this fragrance because it’s not safe.
Scent’s 2/5
Projection 4/5
Longevity 4/5
Sillage 4/5
Product Designer 4.5/5
WADman – :
A real beauty stunningly well blended quality. Most definitely on a par with niche fragrances eg tom Ford noir extreme. I’m so glad i bought 2 bottles before they jacked the price up.
vetexpert – :
Very synthetic. This does not smell niche at all to me (as other reviews have said). A vanilla extract sort of smell dominates the top with a very synthetic rose and amber on the base.
Longevity is just under average (4-6 hours) with moderate projection. The idea is this is a date night/between the sheets scent. I’ve worn it maybe 5 times and never got a compliment. I’ve received a few adverse reactions, though.
5.75/10 for me. Even at $30 I find it not worthwhile. Just too many better scents for similar money on the market that fill the date night in cold weather need. Nice bottle, though.
partizan2501 – :
This is what Tom Ford Noir Extreme should have been.
merjan – :
Can’t believe I stumbled upon this gem! From the bottle presentation, initial spray and the powdery creaminess that settles after 20 minutes is really amazing. If you take away the rubbery scent of Bvlgari Black in its base notes, they are similar. For me, this can be worn either casually or formally. This has now become one of my top perfumes, perfect for office work.
Unfortunately there is no tester for this at any department store, or I would have bought this a long time ago.
Projection and longevity are both moderate during the first 7 hours and becomes skin scent after.
Fly_alexi – :
It smells almost like Tom Ford Noir. Both are very similar.
Damager – :
I honestly have to say that this was my favorite fragrance ever. The only reason I don’t wear it now is I can’t get it anywhere other than online. To me it was like rose pepper and a creme brulee mixed into one it was sexy not cloying and others loved it the annoying thing is how difficult it is to get and I’ve not found anything like it to me it was like if you take spicebomb extreme remove the tobacco and replace it with rose pure heavenly
melanimellas – :
I’ll make this short: for a 30 dollar fragrance, this smells like a 100 dollar fragrance. Unbelievable how underrated this is, and how it has gone completely under the radar for most fragrance reviewers!
I’ve worn this casually, and received amazing compliments with it. But frankly, I think this is worthy of a suit or a tux. And definitely best worn in the autumn or winter time.
Performance is a bit weird to me. It projects great, sometimes it lasts for a long time and some times it doesn’t. I’d wear an atomizer if I were to rock this.
The scent itself is very sexy. Not as feminine as people make it out to be. The pink pepper and hint of vetiver makes this a more masculine scent than say, Dior Homme Intense.
A strong 8/10. And a 12/10 for value. You’re paying 30 dollars to smell like James Bond here
conductor – :
Hi i also thought it was a poor performer but give it a few more goes honestly it really easily lasts all day it also is very similar to tom Ford noir extreme sweet vanilla scent i was so impressed i bought 2 more backup bottles. It’s especially nice in colder months really sweet and warming. A absolute beauty. On clothes lasts really long. The bottle is pure class fragrance is niche quality easily.
Most definitely unisex.
datolit – :
I blind buy this perfume because of the good reviews. This is also my first perfume from Baldessarini. Strictly Private reminds me so much of Zihr Ikon except the notes of incense and cadamom. I’m quite dissapointed of its performance and sillage. This is very soft perfume I can say.
dimon1986 – :
WOOW !!! LOVE IT
Imagine, a modern man in a formal suit, smells luxurious.
Vanilla amber and rose with soft warmness make it gentle and romantic scent.Strictly private separates the men from the boys(C)
Sillage is soft, but who cares if I can smell my wrist and enjoy every moment of it continuously up to 8 hour
9.5 /10
Anton-Sokolow.2011 – :
Very smooth, very very smooth. Soft, lingers, leaves a warm trail of scent that softens the hardest of hearts.
It’s more vanilla than amber, to be precise, but wonderful, thick vanilla, that is never cloying, rounded well to be smooth, it does have a synthetic characteristic to it, but what’s the problem? some scents cannot be achieved without synthetic material, so take it easy…
The scent could’ve been marketed as unisex if:
1- It was produced by a different house than Baldessarini, because basically if it was unisex it would conflict with their whole branding image, which basically is a house for real men, not boys.
2- If it had a better projection and lasting power.
The perfume projects very good for the first 15 minutes, then dies to a skin scent for few hours and then poof it’s gone. This a scent for close interactions, not for going out or clubbing or even outdoors, but for what it is, i love it.
PACTAMAH321 – :
This is actually a nice fragrance, for the price, and it gets well complimented. The drawback for me is the dreaded “sharp chemical accord” (boisée-sec?) that peeks through, though not aggressively so, and the way the pepper and basil makes it smell a little bit like sauce. I couldn’t get past that. The rose and vanilla is done very nice, though.
Stereo_01 – :
I really wanted to like this one, I really did, but it has something that is not a fit for my nose, so today it goes to my “I had” section since it’s been sold. I still love the packing and bottle, but the same phrase of my other review today, not everything that is golden shines.
dimakatby77 – :
To me, a woman, Baldessarini’s Strictly Private is one of the most sensual fragrances ever! Masculine… Bold… Powerful… Elegant… Luxurious… Everithing a woman dreams at a man!
I discovered it (and the brand also) in my husband’s collection of perfumes and I was surprised to find out that he didn’t like it much, while to me it became LOVE at first sight! Unfortunatelly, he’s not wearing it, though I wish he did, but fortunatelly for me, I can also wear it and smells incredible on me! Every time I put it on I feel powerful, seductive, beautiful…
To me, it smells like a beautiful, warm summer night…
Different from any other perfume.
Would totally recommend it to MEN if searching for something different from anything else on the market – not including the niche fragrances, though I would surely include this one into the niche segment.
PS: Even though I’m wearing it, I don’t consider this perfume to be unisex… I wear it thinking of my Man…
Good sillage and verry good longevity!
KKK110559 – :
The best mix ever between vanilla and pink pepper
skane – :
Disappointment in a bottle. Cloying rose, and gives the impression of female perfume on a perspiring woman. I was watching this for over a year, but sadly, the positive reviews on here are, to my mind misleading. I’m pretty open minded and adventurous, but this is really something that needs showering off. As for the price, pretty cheap, but save your money and put it towards something great!
Mejdi933intitytek – :
Sampled it from a trusthworthy online shop, where i usually buy fragrances. One word says it all: disappointment. This scent is nothing more than a bit of an interesting drydown. Actually it smells asexual to me. Would’t wear it at all… I wouldn’t smell like that.
ramiz300872 – :
I ordered it as a blind buy based on all the reviews here and was very surprised and disappointed with the flowery aspect of this fragrance which I was absolutely not expecting and not looking for. I hoped something creamier, warmer and opulent and more based on vanilla, however this flowery start makes it quite feminine to me. I need to try a little longer but this is a very strange feeling. I think it reminds me a little Insensé by Givenchy, but
I’ m not sure whether I can stand it or if I hate it actually.
Edit : I sold it

بالدسارینی استریکتلی پرایوت با رایحه وانیلی و گرم و شیرین
استارت رایحه با بوی تند فلفل و مرکبات به همراه کمی روایح سبز و گیاهی هست
دو سه دقیقه بعد هم رایحه گرم و شیرین وانیل به رایحه ابتدایی اضافه میشه
با گذر زمان بوی مرکبات و فلفل ضعیف میشن و حالا بوی ملایم رز رو میتونین به وضوح استشمام کنین که به مرور قویتر میشه و همچنین مقدار کمی هم گرمی صمغ که اینجا حالت ملایمی داره و قوی نیست
حدود ۲۵ دقیقه بعد با حضور نعنا هندی یه مقدار تم چوبی ضعیف میگیره ، به فاصله کمی و با اضافه شدن امبر ، فضای عطر بویی شبیه لوازم آرایشی میگیره ، یه چیزی مثه این رژ لب های قدیمی که بهش ماتیک میگفتن و تا به آخر با همین آکورد آرایشی ادامه میده
طبق ادعای سازندگان و تبلیغات موجود ، این عطر برای ارتباط نزدیک و مصارف رمانتیک طراحی شده اما من چیزه خاص و جذب کننده ایی ندیدم شاید خانوما بوی لوازم آرایش دوست داشته باشن اما بشخصه اصلا دلم نمیخواد بوی لوازم آرایش و ماتیک بدم ! بابا مردی گفتن زنی گفتن
ماندگاری حدود ۱۰ ساعته رو پوست خشک و سفید داره با پخش خوب و قابل قبول برعکس نظرات منفی تو این قسمت راضی کننده س

sweet with touch of vanilla but musculine and very very sensual.
good longevity and medium sillage.
7.5/10
…………………………………………….
عطری با رایحه وانیل پودری_خاکی بسیار باکیفیت بصورت غالب و امبر و گل رز در حاشیه و روایح چوبی در پس زمینه. شاید ازین عطر بوی چوبی به اونصورت حس نکنید، اما همین رایحه چوبی جلوی شیرین تر شدن کار رو گرفته و یجورایی روایح شیرین رو تعدیل و مردونه کرده. مناسب شب های سرده و از نظر شخصیتی برازنده مرد های جنتلمن و مهربون. ماندگاری پرایوت خوبه و پخشش متوسطه.

its a nice fragrance ! lovely drydown
but it’s just not for me, or i can’t like it yet? maybe.
im gonna sell mine for now.
Uniqueness : 9 out of 10
Longevity : cant give the score yet
Projection : 8 out of 10
Try before you buy.
ЛовиПодачу – :
Well I have to admit this is the first fragrance ever that I’ve bought again. Why? Cause it smells divine. It’s one of the best woody scents outta here. So original, smooth and last like 5-7 hours on my skin. I love it.
JHoqwazM – :
Wonderful scent which in my opinion could easily fall into niche territory.
I also find it to be rather unisex.
In the opening it leans more on the feminine side on my skin as it opens rather sweet and creamy with vanilla and rose as dominant notes. Then spices and resins join in and the dry down is accompanied by Amber, patchouli and vetiver making the scent lean more on the masculine side.
It’s smooth and classy.
Only downside for me is that on me unfortunately it doesn’t last very long and it sits rather close to my skin.
uab918Diobtetty – :
Baldessarini Strictly Private starts with a very sexy, sweet smell, which reminds me the smell of raspberry syrup.
After a while the syrup disappears and you get star anise smell up to the end. Even though there is no star anise listed, the combination of notes make it smell like. It´s definitely made for the night. The smell reminds me very much of L`Altra Follia.
By the way, this fragrance has been reformulated.
The first sexy smell version has just Baldessarini Baldessarini stamped on the bottle, the reformulated says Baldessarini Strictly Private.
lastrwarrior – :
I reviewed this gem some time ago and kept it short and positive. Just wanted to revisit as I feel this scent is truly worth further admiration.
This may be the quintessential “gentleman” fragrance. Beautiful, austere, classy. Yet, my 27 yo nephew has made this his signature scent. Either he has mature taste in fragrances, or this stuff is that damn good that anyone with a reasonable sniffer can appreciate it. I tend to think its the latter. A masterpiece that can best all rivals.
Enthusiastic review, I know. But I truly believe it.
richok – :
~ Strictly Private is aptly named with it’s subtle romantic notes of rose and seductive vanilla for the nose. It is not as popular and far more discreet in sillage than some other well known date-night scents. This composition of amber, basil, cedar, faint patchouli and an ethereal rose will keep your nose dipping to your wrist and satisfied in your new gentlemanly perfume. This evokes in me the equivalent of a comfortable wool blazer that lays nicely off the shoulder and surrounds you with comfort and warmth. The type of jacket and scent your date will want to steal for her own to ward off the evening chill in the warmth of it’s private and personal cloud of cozy vanilla.
Kind Regards, Plat ~
алинка – :
An intoxicating vanilla and rose combination drys down to a perfect blend of the notes listed above (Newbie Nose) great longevity but definitely an sophisticated/older gentlemen’s scent that for sure. If your a younger gentlemen I wouldn’t recommend this scent, UNLESS Your looking for a high class sugar mamma THEN, Here you go!
SKAT – :
In my opinion it has declined…
likOwetty – :
Very light no longevity I honestly thought it was for women. Pretty bottle.
vollk – :
Cracked mine an hour ago…..
I must say I didn’t get much upon first sniff, just a very light and subtle sweetness.
Since… Well have to say I can now smell the rose quite prominently with a slight Vanilla and amber backdrop.
Oooh just yum indeed.
TBH haven’t really detected many of the other notes but I don’t care really
if it smells this great!!
The drydown is wonderful and vibrant.
Not the most projective frag by any means but dam it smells good.
But.. Longevity is GREAT!
People in my office even commented “ooh that smells lovely”.
Beautiful, elegant and dam right classy.
Devine juice I must say I am smitten
8.5/10
burec – :
Very classy bottle, that’s for sure. Hugo Boss’ mature line probably targeted SP for dates and nightlife for adult audience.
My new bottle is from 2014 and unfortunately the content is either changed or damaged. It is now also produced by Mäurer and Wirtz. Was that always the case?
I hardly smell anything. Absolutely no bergamot in the opening here, no basil, not much of anything.
Then the fragrance settles, and I have a 3 hour skin scent with synthetic vanilla, some amber, a hint of rose and some pepper.
Quite disappointed to be honest, when I first tried Strictly Private a few years back I remember it differently.
This “hardly smell anything” has happened to me only once before, with Tsar. But I guess it is possible that a few bad production batches will slip through the quality control now and then.
2/10. (But my previous sample was much much better!)
EDIT: Aha. A quick research reveals that Baldessarini is no longer a Hugo Boss brand. It was transferred to M&W in 2011. This may explain why the new batch of SP is changed and also why the Baldessarini consentree cologne has so incredible low sillage and longevity. Beware! I suspect that perhaps my bottle is not damaged after all, but really what SP is like these days. 2/10.
kikizokkrz – :
Strictly Private is my power bomb. Whenever I want to get noticed (Fall/Winter) I wear this fragrance. The basil, rose, bergamot and vanilla make this fragrance very creamy and sweet. It is very strong so I recommend 3 sprays at the most. It lasts forever on me and I love that. It could be worn in the day or evening during the fall/winter. The price is not bad at all either.
igorportugal78 – :
Masterpiece, one of my all time favorites!!!
It reflects my inner identity – calm, masculine, caring, healing, and loving – it cannot be described verbally with notes’ pyramid or whatsoever, it has to be inhaled, experienced, enjoyed. That is Baldessarini Strictly Private!
5/5
xrumerg – :
Simply sublime! Beautiful! Almost niche! I hope it continues under the radar so I can keep it in my collection.
Accocaexcenue – :
Strictly Private is my fourth Baldessarini after the original, Del Mar, n Ambre and so far, they have all been pretty good and my respect for this brand has gone up considerably. I am actually curious now to try all the others as the quality in all the ones I have smelled has been consistently good. SP starts off with a peppery sweet citrus note and then it’s pretty much vanilla rose all the way with traces of amber, Patchouli,and some mild woodiness which could be the vetiver. It shares common DNA with Burberry Brit and Tom Ford Noir, at times smelling like bits and pieces of one or the other. Like all the Baldessarinis I have tried, excellent quality blend with moderate sillage and projection. Longevity is about 5-6 hours with 5 sprays. Give it a try and it just might surprise you. This one flies under a lot of people’s radar and that is a shame. I love it. 8.5/10.
Пепелюшка2011 – :
You know, if Guerlain’s modern creations for men were anywhere near as good as their classic feminines (bar, maybe, l’Instant and l’Instant Extreme–I’ve always had a soft spot for both), I’d imagine them to be something like this. Strictly Private has a Guerlain-ish composition, but in a way that is still very 21st Century. All the elements are there. The vanillic base (vanillar, amber, cedar). The floral-aromatic heart (rose, fir, vetiver). The provencale introduction (basil, bergamot, pink pepper). It has moderate sillage and above average lasting power. A unique smelling blend doubly dichotomous in its savoury/sweet, non-gourmand/gourmand, seemless blending. A great, value-for-money buy which I’ll probably use at least once a week and re-buy some time down the track. Feels comfortable and competant.
korshikov – :
First sniff i had, was ” Wow, this smells amazing ” sadly after about half an hour i could hardly smell it anymore. Tried spraying loads more but unfortunately it had the same result. Really dissapointed as it showed so much early promise
grunat – :
IN MY OPINION THIS COLOGNE IS THE VERY BEST FOR THE MONEY,HANDS DOWN,I’m pretty shocked the price is so affordable,I wear Creed,L’instant Extreme,M7,and other high end colognes as well as lower priced colognes such as Ted Lapidus Altimar and TL Pour Lui which are GREAT in their own right,but I was EXTREMELY and PLEASANTLY surprised by the sillage,longevity and overall balance of Strictly Private,if your a true cologne lover like I am,who LOVES,GREAT scents that has GREAT SILLAGE and LONGEVITY,its DEFINITELY a must try,you won’t be disappointed.(TRUST ME YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE)…
масте – :
Best Blind Buy ever!
I think Parfumista2010’s review is spot on – It is absolutely innoffensive and very sensual. Presentation is great, price is very good as well.
All in all
Scent: 9/10
Projection/Silage: Medium-Low
Longevity: 8/10
If you love light, warm and sweet scents – try this.
Highly recommended.
EDIT:
This scent definitely grows on you! I remember thinking when I first got it that it was much easier to like than Lalique PH which I got at the same time – while Lalique grew on me slowly, this one I came to love immediately after a few wearings.
I tend to think that it’s projection is limited, but its happened a number of times that someone walks into my office, or more interestingly, the cold lab where I work and goes ”what smells so good?” – when I can hardly smell it myself. Granted it’s strongest real close to you (and thats how I love my scents to be) but perhaps its just so light that you forget you’re wearing it easily.
Needless to say – I have found my first signature scent.
lotto19csc1 – :
what an intoxicating delicious scent .this trully is made for a gentleman . made for those who like to show they mean business, someone with power , someone who like to show power and leadership . Its a downright sexy and luxurious fragrance made more for the cooler daytime /nighttime weather to a slightly warm evening to night time scenario . the scent is a perfect blend of creamy vanilla , roasted vanilla marshmello , with some amber and patchouli. the rose i dont get so much but that note of rose is a combination of both rose mixed with basil which make this even more special .
its the best bang for dollar for what this has been able to deliver i would consider this sexual scent as going into the niche area .
long lasting and projection perfection . I own 3 bottles of this beauty .
my rating is an 9/10

با سلام من به تازگی این عطر رو خریدم پخش بوش خیلی ضعیفه ولی رایحه اش نسبت به قیمتش عالیه.در ضمن یه ته بویی از دیور هوم اینتنس رو هم میده البته نت پایانی
BlackOrchid – :
I was thinking a rather nice and safe rendition of creme brulee, as previous reviews suggest, but then something much more satisfying transpired. Almost like a sweet dessert served up by an elegently mature female who knows all about life love and lust. Safe to say Strictly Private can be worn to the Opera and to the Sinful Symphony afterwards. There is just something about this fragrance that requires , on the surface, careful social carraige, but behind the facade a torrid carnal desire awaits.
This is the fragrance to enamour and seduce that woman. For the younger ladies, it will draw their attention and will signify class, taste and luxury. Rather than trying to seperate the men from the boys as the marketing campaign claims, Strictly Private will seperate the women from the wannabes.
Do not have any misconceptions that this is a versatile scent. In all honesty I fail to see how I could wear it in any other than an intimate private setting.
The best from the Baldessarini line along with the original Baldessarini for Men.
dfo108speagoessenda – :
Great , great and great. Luxurious and high class aroma. Superb powdery dry down. But i wish if it was more long lasting. Over all a splended. Bottle is a great Art work too.
fkoeipows – :
A perfect scent highly recommended. Especially in winter time very very sensual and sweet. I love it. Absolutely masculine and sexy. I read the reviews and I don’t think that men’s fragrances must smell only like aftersave or lemon or metal tins. This is perfect elegant and luxurious scent.As for the longevity and sillage what can I say … just try it…
маньяк – :
it’s very close to dior homme! not that much keen of both!!!!!

What a wonderful cologne! Balsamic and powdery to the core, with an elegant bottle to go with it.
Edit: It’s been more than seven hours, and I can still smell this fabulous scent.
Dmytro2010 – :
At last..a new real men’s scent. Simply wonderfull..
cah904elipseskism – :
I’m a woman and wear this scent happily but would LOVE to encounter it on a man. It is incredibly sexy, though definitely not masculine in the conventional sense. I can see why some men would shy away from it but to me it exudes a feeling of understated, warm and intimate masculinity.
The vanilla in this doesn’t have any kind of frosting-like quality to it– it’s lightly spiced and so gorgeous, but retains an inviting golden quality. Strictly Private is absolute catnip for a woman like me who loves warmer scents on a man. If a special guy wore this on a date with me, I would be crawling all over him in short order. Seriously.

the attendant’ in the shop asked me to try this and i am glad i did! sensual woody with a strong vanilla base type fragrance. don’t know if this is just for the moment, but i love this frag! projection : 5 – 6 hrs, sillage : 3 hrs. you wont go wrong with this frag if you are an absolute woody (sweet) frag lover.
serg333 – :
Amazing fragrance, one of my all time favorites! Very sweet but has a grown up luxurious quality about it. Once i got this i wore it all the time for about a month. Truly fantastic
This reminds me a little of dhi but with more vanilla and less cocoa. Underrated excellence
carga.2 – :
Bought this without smelling it and when it arrived, I loved it! I generally don’t like sweet smells, but it has a sweet hint within this fragrance. This fragrance is very masculine and when I smelt it, it made me think of a fortune 500 business type. Highly recommended for the man who likes a masculine smell with a little sweetness.
woland5045 – :
The perfume doesn’t quite live to it’s punch line ” separates men from the boys”. Longevity is an issue and doesn’t go we’ll in a propical country like India.
ProWebDesigner – :
I am in love with this fragrance! The start is a bit strong but the dry down is divine. It smells a bit like chocolate. I keep smelling my wrist every 5 minutes. It smells elegant and sensual at the same time. I will be wearing this fragrance very often.

love it, will be buying again.
zxcasd – :
Today bought my 2nd bottle, huuuummm….LOVE YOU!
lialv – :
Ordered samples of this based on postive reviews for a masculine,vanilla based fragrance.What I discovered was a soft, warm, sweet smelling feminine scent.I find nothing masculine about this scent whatsoever except for maybe the slightest hint of masculinity many, many hours after application.But even then I wouldn’t venture to label it unisex let alone masculine.Creamy,soft,warm and deliscious but if I smelled this on a dude I would assume it was the residual scent left over from his last embrace with his girl.I think the ladies would love this scent because of it’s sweet feminimity, but it’s something they should be wearing on themselves.Other than the bottle,this fragrance does little to represent anything masculine in my opinion. And it’s reference of seperating the men from the boys is perplexing when in reality, it might seperate the women from the girls? Try it and see for yourself because I think the only thing Strictly Private about this scent is the fact that it’s made for a man but meant for a woman.
Diana200685 – :

I want to know what is the projection on this perfume also the longevity of strictly private? I have Baldessarini AMBRE and although its a beautiful and special scent its a close to the skin perfume and the projection is below average. Before I buy Strictly Private I would love some feedback thanks.
Vadimich 87 – :
I love it but brings me headache, may be due to too much vanilla.
10/10
kuper999 – :
For me this is a perfect oriental spicy like fragrance being almost gourmand. I never smelled Tom Ford’s TV so I cannot compare.
Woody notes (cedar) mixed with some dry vanilla/creme brulee accorded by amber and patchouli. The vibe it gives me is very sensual, luxurious and expensive.
I never smelled anything like it and for me it’s the best by Baldessarini followed by the way less original Ambre. I do not consider it uni-sex at all but women are of course free to wear this gorgeous stuff! Sillage is average and longevity is above average (the scent lingers around you for hours!). Best for (cosy) evenings, dates (women adore this)and formal occasions.

Oh boy, this is such a great smell, i really love it.It’s a very warm and cozy scent, very sweet and masculine, spicy and sexy as hell.
One of my favorites.

یکی از منحصر به فردترین عطرهائی که تا کنون دیده ام
شیشه مشکی با پلاک طلایی و لوکس این عطر بسیار تاثیرگذار است.این شیشه زیبا با عطر درون آن و بوی کم نظیر وانیلی که ازش ساطع میگردد یک مجموعه کم نظیر را به وجود آورده است. من هم با نظر سایر دوستان خصوصا کیوان عزیز کاملا موافقم که این عطر و بو، زانوی هر دختری را میتواند به ارتعاش وادارد و او را سست نماید.به معنای واقعی کلمه سکس در بطریست.داشتن آنرا به کلیه عاشقان عطر و ادکلن توصیه می نمایم.
همانگونه که از اسم آن برمیاد ویژه معاشقه و قرار و مدارهای عاشقانه می باشد و لذا نباید از آن انتظار پخش بوی زیادی را داشت که به هیچ عنوان برای میهمانی و جشنهای گروهی مناسب نمی باشد بلکه اختصاصا برای این ساخته شده است که فقط چند سانتی متر بین عاشق و معشوق فاصله باشد. یک عطر کم نظیر برای کلیه مردان متاهل و آنانی که محبوبه ای دارند.
بالدسارینی متشکرم

با سلام
همانطور که از اسم این رایحه معلوم است رایحه آن مخفی است
پخش بالایی ندارد
دوم خوبی دارد
مناسب زمانی است که شخص در فاصله چند سانتیمتری شما قرار دارد و قرار است فقط آن شخص ای رایحه را حس کند
بوی وانیلش محشره
کلا کار جدیدیه دیگه
اینکه رایحه آن پنهان است جالبه
با احترام

This has a light vanillary note. I find it a good daytime perfume for a man.

Besides i would recommend to put it on jackets or pullover but not on shirts!!!
Its a
