Description
Ungaro pour L’Homme III Parfum Aromatique, introduced in 2013, is a new version of the original fragrance Ungaro pour L’Homme III from1993 by the design house of Emanuel Ungaro. The fragrance is inspired by the avant-garde driven DNA that characterizes the timeless Parisian fashion house. The fragrance is a reinterpretation of Ungaro pour l’Homme III ‘s soul through a new aromatic and a contemporary signature.
This woody – aromatic composition reflects elegant and dynamic masculinity. Vibrant freshness of lemon, cardamom and apple on top spreads into the edgy yet elegant heart of cypress, thyme, calone and violet leaves and runs through a powerful urban base of leather, vetiver, amber and fir balsam.
AderfosFX – :
I wished it had the “Rose” note as the heart note like Ungaro III. But there is no trace of rose in it, so it should be very different from original Ungaro III.
Yurus – :
Parfum Aromatique is not completely different than the original Ungaro III. (My reference here is the “reformulated original,” as I have not experienced the “original original” Ungaro III.) This is a fruitier version of the original, which itself is quite fruity; so, brace yourselves. If you do not like fruity fragrances in general, you might even find this a bit cloying.
Projection and longevity are not great, to put it mildly; not even as good as the “reformulated original” Ungaro III. However, things are probably not as bad as you might think at first, since this seems to be one of those fragrances which smell less to you than to those around you. If you are like me, and wear fragrances for your own enjoyment first and foremost, this may be an issue.
This does not seem to be readily available; at least it is not as plentiful and cheap as the reformulated Ungaro III as of late 2014. Considering the availability, the poorer projection and longevity, and that Parfum Aromatique is not completely different than the original Ungaro III, my choice between the two would be the original.
