Metallic Fire

Metallic Fire is Emanuel Ungaro's 2024 masculine, a citrus scent with a sweet backbone. Citrus is how everyone describes it, most wearers also call it sweet, and a quarter notice green, woody and floral touches.

The notes are listed as one set rather than a pyramid. Lemon, bergamot and verbena, including lemon verbena, supply the bright, zesty citrus that defines the opening, with pineapple and apple adding a juicy, fruity sweetness. Geranium brings a green, slightly rosy, peppery leaf note. The warmth comes from coumarin and tonka bean, which smell of hay, almond and vanilla, and from sandalwood, with oakmoss adding a dry, mossy depth that gives the fragrance a classic fougère shape under its fruity surface.

Taken together it reads as a fresh, sweet citrus for men with an old-fashioned mossy base, the sort of fragrance that pairs a modern fruity opening with a traditional drydown.
