Ungaro Masculin

Ungaro Masculin, released by Emanuel Ungaro in 2014, is a fresh masculine fragrance with an unexpectedly sweet heart. Everyone who describes it mentions sweetness first, most also say woody, fresh and citrus, and a third find it aromatic.

The opening is juicy: grapefruit and orange bring a sharp, sunny citrus, and green apple adds a crisp, slightly tart sweetness that keeps returning through the wear. Sea water and sea notes cool it down with a clean, breezy feel. Thyme and lavender give a herbal, barbershop tone in the middle, dry and faintly bitter against the fruit. The base turns warmer: tonka bean brings a smooth, almost vanilla-like sweetness, patchouli an earthy depth, and vetiver a dry, grassy woodiness that keeps the finish from becoming cloying.

Marketed for men, it fits daytime and warmer months, office or weekend, and suits someone who wants a fresh scent with a bit of sweetness rather than a purely aquatic one.
