Reviews of Bellagio for Men (2000)
by Fragluxe

This one is really awful. A sharp, acrid, citrus that somehow is cloying, musky, and badly synthetic all at the same time. Generally citrus aquatics are easy on the nose and pleasant, even then they aren't great... so it's really something when one makes your nose go, "NO WAY!"

This one is obtained VERY cheaply and it's obvious why. Nevertheless, it's not even one I'd take if it were given to me.

Staying at the Bellagio Hotel may be nice, but it's fragrance is worse than a Budgetel.

Can be found for very cheap everywhere. It doesnt smell bad but im defenitely not a huge fan. Somehow it smells fresh and citrusy but sour at the same time, probably will never end up using this entire entire bottle that I have

Very citrusy, but not too sweet. It reminds me of something between Aqua di Gio and L’eau D’Issey pour homme, but not quite up to the quality of either. Even with the half-dozen or so other colognes I wear on a regular basis, all of which are at least twice the cost of Bellagio, I get more compliments for this scent than any other. Strange, no?

Fresh and spicy. Cool citrus. Reminds me of Curve Chill and many other frags in the begining. Decent and cheap.

I know why this stuff is all over the discount bins. Horrible.

I believe I bought this one because of the unique bottle and its price of $19.99. It came with shower gel and after shave lotion. Beides, I was on a budget and hadnt bought a fragrance in a minute. Honestly, its fresh and nothing special. Surprisingly, not bad longevity. Reminds me a bit of Unbound. I see they both contain violet. This is a fresh scent, although not marine in my opinion. It reminds me of wet washing detergent. Id consider wet wahing detergent as fresh. Not bad at all. Have yet to receive any comments.

Bellagio EDT = disgusting Aquatic

The top notes are pleasant and citrusy, that's it. The fragrance then develops itself into an intense aquatic.

To me it smelled like 2 day old stale fruit salad. Amazing, because I expected the sillage and longetivity to be less than a well known Aqua the Gio (which I can stomach). The longetivity I cannot tell since I went to scrubbing the essence out, but the sillage was excellent for triggering my gag reflex. Maybe other folks had different batches that were more washed out than mine, but this EDT was intense.

So I washed, rinsed, and repeated. Came home and killed off the rest of the scent with the original Aramis. I think I will have a gag reflex when I think of Bellagio EDT for some time.

Think of the most sour bitter musky ADG and you will be thinking of this fragrance.

Bellagio for Men is very clean and direct, and it is a different take on the usual marine / aquatic fragrances. It opens with a sharp citrus / grapefruit accord that I find metallic. In spite of the florals listed in the mid notes, it is not really floral to my nose—the middle level seems to be the continuation of the opening—a gradual lessening of the sharpness of the citrus / marine notes. The whole scent seems linear in that it is primarily the mellowing out of the original sharp citrus / metallic beginning. At times I really enjoy Bellagio because of its sharp cleanness. At other times I find it just too cold and sterile. One thing for sure, Bellagio is a distinct alternative to other marine scents. It’s greatest weakness is its lack of longevity. The bottle wins an award for uniqueness—two different bottles joined by a tube.

A very light scent that's perfect for office wear and won't offend anyone's noses. To get any longevity out of this one you gotta experiment with how much to apply (4 to 5 sprays works for me).
My favorite morning fragrance that won't upset empty stomachs.

Fantastic stuff. *Bellagio Uomo* starts off with a classic Italian citrus opening that reminds me in part of the exquisite opening of *Signoricci 2*. Very quickly it settles into a citrusy muted marine note with a salty metallic edge. At this point it reminds me of a very successful cross between *Acqua di Giò Pour Homme* and *Eau de Rochas* (for women). If it lasted more than half an hour, it would be an extraordinary fragrance, but it doesn’t and just vanishes into thin air. What a pity. Certainly worth the half hour though.

This has very fresh scent The citrus front end is nice and light, then dries down to an fresh amber woody base. While a light scent, it does seem to last a good time (3-5 hours). This scent is very easy on the nose, your co-workers will appreciate that. Distinctive and light, this fragrance can be used year around although possibly a little light for cold weather use. It’s inexpensive but a great scent suitable for casual or formal use. Give it a try ! I like it a lot and use it for the office. The bottle is different in that it is two bottles joined (capped ?)in the middle. You take the top or bottom and spray it. Both bottles are the same juice - just unusual packaging.
