A very sexy vintage smell, in the vein of Bal a Versailles. The civet is very strong at first but it dials back quite a bit and allows the carnation and musk to shine. I get reminders of Obsession or Kiehl’s Musk as well. Do they make them like this anymore?? So animalistic and snuggle worthy.

When we first got this for my husband, it smelled so vile that I was about ready to throw it away. He smells divine in Ungaro Homme III, however. One day our son who has a completely different body chemistry was looking at the bottle and tried some on. The results were unbelievable.
This stuff smells absolutely divine on him!
How a fragrance can smell so awful on one person and so amazing on another is one of those mysteries!
This stuff is hard to find but worth it as he smells so good in it, it is on another level from the dime a dozen scents of today. This is sophisticated..unless my husband wears it, that is. LOL

Ungaro Pour L’Homme II doesn’t smell particularly unique to my nose, but it takes accords I’ve smelled in other fragrances and does them better, combines them to their best possible effect, and winds up smelling incredible from top to bottom. It resembles, in snatches mind you, a handful of different things: Kouros, Zino, Joint, (apparently Jicky, but I’ve no experience with Jicky), Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur, Aubusson Pour Homme (original), and there are hints of Caron Pour un Homme in the early lavender-focused stage of the drydown. Together, these characteristics might conspire to make Ungaro II a topsy-turvy mix of cliches, but the resemblances are so gentle and fleeting that they blend into a coherent scent that stands on its own, and doesn’t smell as “busy” as some of the others do.
What makes Ungaro II a real winner in my book is its handling of three difficult notes. Somehow lavender, lemon, and civet are intertwined with a deftness and agility you rarely encounter in designer fragrances of today. With the exception of the lavender, the accord smells remarkably natural. For some reason I’m not overly impressed with how the lavender note moves here, though. It’s definitely a good lavender, somewhat natural and crisp. But I think it’s on par with the same note in Roccobarocco’s Joint Pour Homme (ironically the lavender is that scent’s best note). Joint is a very good fragrance, but it’s significantly more synthetic, and far flatter than Ungaro II. The citrus and civet notes are incredibly natural here though, and I guess I got lucky and found a full bottle that was well taken care of, because I smell no perceptible deterioration in the citrus notes, despite this fragrance’s age (this is vintage by Ungaro). However, true to form, something in a vintage suffers. Here it’s longevity. Once the aromatics have died down and the woody vanilla gets its turn, the fragrance deflates and begins to smell a little pale. However, I wouldn’t say this fragrance has “spoiled.” It’s definitely still very wearable and I can expect at least five or six hours for longevity, though it’s quite weak in the last couple of hours.
If you can find a 2.5 oz bottle for under $50, buy it. I paid $44 for this size, unused, from a brick and mortar store I’d never been to before (but will visit again). I want to point out that Ungaro II’s bottle doesn’t look exactly like the one pictured above. Yes, it has a yellow, slightly marbled cap, and yes, at first glance the glass looks blueish purple. But the edges are blueish, while the middle is more of a urine yellow. They were doing a little hint-hint there. The civet note in this fragrance is front and center, and though it eventually tapers off, it leaves the impression that Ungaro II is an animalic aromatic fougere. That’s exactly how I’d classify it. They might’ve dialed back the dihydromyrcenol in the top notes a hair, but basically this is a flawless fragrance that is well worth owning. Now if only Ungaro would bring it back.

After reading the article on Animalics yesterday, I pulled this one out of the dark to wear to dinner last night. I forgot how fresh the opening is due to the neroli, bergamot and lemon. The Civet in the base is not in your face but more subtle. Traditional fresh scent.
drCVZubff – :
To me this is strong medicinal barber soap, almost with a hint of a menthol urinal cake. Forgive the image that may give you but that’s a pretty good metaphoric description of Ungaro II. On the positive side, its extremely masculine and gives off a mature sophisticated air. Not for a young guy, but for a older, educated gentlemen. I sold this when it came out, and as a young guy it was out of my league. Now that I’m in my mid 40’s I’d like to give this another shot.

العطرجى الشهير فرانسوا ديماتشي صاحب الصوﻻت والجوﻻت العطرية تفتقت قريحته العطرية بابتكار هذه الايقونة باسلوب تشيبرى كﻻسيكى عصرى.
عطرنا لليوم هو العطر الثانى من سلسلة عطور انقارو بدأت بعطر انقارو 1 (منقطع) وانتهاءا بالخشبي انقارو 3 (ﻻيزال ينتج)
منذ فترة وانا ابحث عن عطر انقارو 2 نظرا ﻻحتواءه على نوتة دائما ماتثير فضولي وفضول عاشقى العطور وهى نوتة مسك الزباد هذا النوتة العميقة وكيفية توظيفها ﻻبتكار عطور خارج الصندوق.
وصف العطر : يبدأ العطر بافتتاحية حمضية اشبه بقشر الليمون الاخضر مع البرجموت والنيرولي ولمسة
ﻻفندرية كالتى في عطر كارون الاخضر والرائحة عموما اشبه برائحة الكولونيا القديمة ولكن ما يلبث ان تظهر بعد ساعة من الارتداء النوتة الانمالك من على البعد ﻻعطاء بعد اخر لهذا العطر وهنا تكمن عبقرية ديماتشي في توظيف هذه النوتة بحرفية عالية قلما نجدها في عطور الديزاينر.حيث كون غطاء زهرى راتنجى لمحاولة السيطرة على هذه النوتة اﻻنمالك الصاخبة واضفاء بهجة لهذا العطر.هذا العطر حقيقة صعب الفهم والتحليل ﻻنه يتحول ببطء شديد من مرحلة عطرية الى اخرى، ﻻول مرة ربما احس بمفهوم الهرم العطرى.بعد مرور 10 ساعات وبعد ان تتناثر كل هذه النوتات يستقر العطر على قاعدة راتنجية عنبرية بنزوينية ان صح التعبير اعطت نسق مختلف تماما لهذا العطر.
انه عطر ماستر بيس بكل ماتعنيه الكلمة وقد انقطع من الاسواق سريعا ولاعرف اذا استنسخو منه ام ﻻ.فعطر بهذه المكونات ربما ليس ذو جدوى اقتصادية حاليا.الحمدلله تم العثور على نسخة ممتازة لم تتأثر بعوامل التعرية ذات عبوة بنفسجية غامقة وغطاء برتقالى بﻻستيكي رخيص.ﻻعرف حقيقة هل هى من الجيل الاول ولكن الطابع الكﻻسيكى يشير الى عصر ما قبل الانترنت 🙂
عطر يفضله الرجل الواثق الذى يسعى لتحقيق بعض المهام المستحيلة
تقييم عام 9.5/10

Brilliant, different, unique! Ungaro II is far from anything else. Could be easily unisex. It has the most different animalic and powdery vibes I ever smelled in a stuff. So happy with my bottles…Irreplacebeable! I can offer an EDT bottle quality photo instead of shower gel posted here 😉
overall 9.5/10
Lokgoll – :
If I were Ungaro manager, I would never stop producing Ungaro Pour L’Homme I and Ungaro Pour L’Homme II.
It’s a real shame to discontinue such brilliant frags.
CuriousBox43 – :
اقتنيت العطر واالحقيقه وجدته عطرا جميلاً
عطر بروح كلاسيكية يذكرك بتلك اللمسة والبصمة التي تتميز بها جيرلان في عطورها بالنسبة للحمضيات
ذكرتنيايضا نوتة الزباد في هذا العطر بعطر جيرلان مع الاختلاف
ذكرني هذا باسلوب نسبي لعطر سوفادج الراااااائع
باختصار هذا العطر كلاسيكي يحتاج شخص واثق يقدر روح الكلاسيكية بعيد عن تلك العبارات التي تصف العطر انه عطر صالونات الحلاقه او الكلونيات

I’m usually not able to pick up the difference nuance within a minute of spraying this delicious gem on my skin. Being able to smell sweet scent from civet then a very citrusy lemon scent and finally the cool gentle lavender. All three notes elevates this fragrance giving it a real attractive luxurious aroma. Both neriol and vanilla with a hint of carnation gives that warm sweet vib. Finally tonka bean and sandalwood supported with a smig of musk bring it all together beautifully making it absolutely adorable.
Longevity and Silage on my skin lasting well past 8hrs spraying it 2x without it being overwheling.
Finally thoughts,
When this juice first came out, I wore it but I wasn’t feeling like it was worth much so I gave it away because I was much younger and not as wise. Just recently I came across this fragrance and without any hesitation I bought a 75ml bottle. After trying it on my skin…I have only one word to describe this juice….WOW. This fragrance is perfect during the late summer months into the early winter. A real old school frag which is excellent…9/10. Hard to find but worth it!!!!
Update…becarefull of the bottle…the original bottle was in a dark purple as shown on this website. The newest version are I, II and IIII are all black. It easy to overlook which one your buying.

Wow! A masterpiece indeed!
Starts citrusy/tangy, refreshing but different from the usual top notes. Civet, Maybe? This initial smell is quickly surrounded and overpowered by a slightly powdery and exquisite sweet accord that unlikely the current releases, isn’t vulgar or boring. I consider it a cosy yet sexy fragrance, without loosing a refinement aura. The combination of carnation, jasmine and vanilla is delicious and the addition of benzoin gives it strength and richness. A fragrance not to be forgotten!

I am totally smitten with this one.
To my nose it has a classic cologne formula, opening with lemon and neroli, moving on to lavendar and benzoin and musk. I smell something like a little vanilla in it, too, but it’s not exactly the smell of vanilla, more an olfactory impression of smoothness and creamy depth. It jogged my memory of Eau Sauvage, but a wrist-by-wrist comparison revealed the Ungaro to be much more seamless.
Such a shame this is discontinued. I would buy it and wear it a lot.
22 Feb. 2015: ETA: Something clicked in my mind today, and I dug through the perfume dresser to confirm my theory with a wrist-to-wrist comparison. Never mind Eau Sauvage: Ungaro ll and Chantilly are very close relatives. Ungaro ll smells richer, a symphony perhaps, where Chantilly is a (very good) chamber ensemble, but they parallel each other from the lemony opening to the musky-vanillic dry down. Very interesting in two fragrances composed 50 years apart, one for men and one for women.

it was a miracle, magic fluid in a dark violet bottle and colorful yellow box. Pure hedonism in bottle. I don’t which one I loved much: green Ungaro I, or yellow Ungaro II. They were both very spacial, fanciful and original,and I had a great expectatinos from new red Ungaro III, but it was a big disaappointment because it smells boring,almost the same as, at least, twenty scents form this time – middle nineties of last century. It is so ironic for me that great Ungaro I and II are bothdiscontinued, but poor Ungaro III is still in production and selling even redesigned and refulmulated

irresistible piece of art of parfume blending and mixing. Sublime masterpiece. My ultimate favourite designer scent for man (10+++/10)

The review below is mine.. Again, logged out problem..
Here is my Ungaro II review…
Oh the beauty, the brute, the raw power, the spice & boldness. An All Star composition.
This is definitely an old school with a force of a windmill slam drunk from the free throw line. Took me a year to get hold of this & today I claimed my 75ml. The overtime is worth the wait! Wow!
I tested this back home last year (an after shave, didn’t buy) though I loved it. I said to myself since this perfume is very hard to find there, I will hunt it here in Canada. But it took me a year to got hold of the bottle. It was way off my budget coz I kept buying this & that, other perfumes, until one from ebay sold it to me with the best deal. I didn’t expect this frag would came all the way from Hungary.
Oh love this magnificent oriental that is so aromatic & very spicy yet surprisingly in my 3 sprays, no cloying, no headache. It suit my skin and I smell woods, balmy, soapy, powdery and touch of barbershop scent. Smelling closely you smell hint of sourness in a good way. Smell the whiff & you smell its awesome animalic civet with vanilla, lavender, spices & more spices done so right. This is my male Habanita without ABBA but The Village People!
You can’t stop this music, nobody can’t stop the music.
This is magical, its got too many feel, noticeable playful notes, impressive over & over as time passes with a big “but”.
This “But”? This is not for everyone. This would definitely select its perfect skin match.
Hell at some point I can even smell some vibe of dark roasted coffee.
This maybe a classic but in the right amount, Ungaro II will cloud you in a cold winter day that people who can smell you, would love to feel its warm embrace as well. I just got great compliments from a group of friends at a cafe. They caught a whiff, then asked & sniffed the flaming (cap) purple heart (bottle)…
Update: over dry down, I smell some vibe of tobacco. It just add more wonder to my experience. Big wow!
skg552JeomiWogkig – :
YES! This is AMAZING! It’s a hyper-masculine barber shop version of Jicky. I can’t believe this gem has eluded me for so long. This is so profane! This has to be in the top 10 best uses of civet in all of modern perfumery. And to have been released in 1992? Genius! I don’t ever want to run out of this!
Shagamin – :
wayThis is what I get: I spritz Thomas, my fluffy cat, with a water sprayer. Then I dry my cat with really nice dryer sheets, then add a squirt of lemon. Now I stick my nose into Thomas Kitty’s fur and take a big sniff. Interesting in a clean furry way!
xnk769speagoessenda – :
A musky powdery strange but very good oriental with a soft drydown!
The first time in my life i encounter a scent which is released in 1992 and smells like a vintage 70’s/early 80’s macho time machine fragbomb
Wearing it i imagine Tom Jones with sideburns on a appearance of Starsky & Hutch singing to the hot ladies making sexy moves hahaha.
This is a great fragrance and in my opninion due its civet,musk,tonka and vanilla a smooth operator!
Im so glad i got my hands on this after i got it in a swap of many and i didnt realise its historical worth.
Too bad i have the 75ml edt splash bottle this will spill more that i want.
the yellow-flamed cap is truly marvelous on the dark blue ungaro shaped bottle!

This is the loser of the 3 Ungaros. U1 is amazing and U3 is Fantastic they go on and stay for a long enough time. U2 is far too fruity and an odd mish mosh of not knowing what it wants to be. Go for 1 or 3 and you will be amazed.
extremale – :
A powdery oriental along the lines of Habit Rouge and New York (Nicolai), Ungaro II takes this theme and adds a dollop of civet. The lavender in the top combined with the civet remind me a lot of Jicky, as well. Ungaro II sort of bears the “sparkly” orange powderiness of Habit Rouge and New York, which is why I make the comparisons. The civet in this is definitely present but actually kind of tame; at first if you’re not into civet it may seem subtly fecal, but eventually it adds a fleshy warmth to the fragrance, which is essentially what civet is supposed to do. That being said, I think Ungaro II is a good gateway fragrance for civet, along with Jicky. The longevity and sillage are both excellent.
Unfortunately, Ungaro II is discontinued, but it can be still found on the web and on Basenotes. If you’re into fragrances like Habit Rouge and Jicky, then I’d definitely try this. Generally Habit Rouge (vintage Eau de Cologne) is the most powdery I’ll go, but I can’t deny Ungaro II is still a quality fragrance. I’d say my favorite of the three Ungaro brothers is still Ungaro I.
Evg12 – :
If you’re going to smell this composition for the first time you have to be aware that to properly appreciate it, it’s an essential condition that you like animalic notes, and expecially civet. In fact, Ungaro II opens with boatloads of civet, lavander and citrus. The overall effect is at the same time seriously challenging and of rare charm. The juxtaposition of animalic notes and citruses freshness is quite unique and gives to this composition a special character that is pretty hard to find in today’s perfumes. Fresh and mysterious. During the drydown lavender and civet are joined by a considerable dose of sweet vanilla turning Ungaro II to a sort of dirty animalic version of Caron Pour Un Homme. Amazing and destabilizing yet very sensual.
Rating: 9/10
qwert45 – :
This seems quite similar to vintage Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur (made by Tsumura). Ungaro II doesn’t have the rubbery quality the Pierre Cardin one has, but once you get to the drydown the idea is very similar. I don’t wear these kinds of fragrances often, so I’m not sure if it’s important to have both. This is not “animalic” in the same way that Kouros is. Instead, this one is nicely blended, creating the “sensual” effect that is listed on the note pyramid (on the sticker that’s on the back of the bottle). It’s reasonably natural smelling and has some dynamism, so it’s certainly good for what it is. Longevity and projection/”sillage” are at least very good. If you are into “fresh” fragrances, you will likely dislike this intensely, unless you are looking for something very different from the usual.

This perfume is a masterpiece, all the notes are so exquisitely blended, you can hardly breakdown them.
The overall impression is animalic freshness, it smells fresh and sensual at the same time, all the notes are present without fighting each other and the civet gives it a kick of manscent along a clean fragrance.
