Sergio Soldano for Men (Black) (1985)
by Sergio Soldano

I've a far olfactory  reminiscence of it from my adolescence, my brother brought a bottle with him in south of italy from Rome during his holidays in summer time. I remember it was a tall and dark fragrance (may be contributed to that evaluation the loud impression elicited on me by my older brother) and i remember it possessed a strong personality made of citrus, deep flowers and dark patchouli. I used to steal some dabs secretly closed in the bathroom and feeling masculine and powerful. The impression was about wearing a floral, earthy and ambery smell. I would be curious to taste it back now and to smell the effect aroused by the aldehydes around.

i got a compliment on this fragrance from my ex which is rare! so it must really be attractive to women. SS disappeared quickly since i first bought a bottle in 1993. is it still in production?

Impressing, shocking, in a good way, ofcourse. I love its progression so much. Bright-lightning top notes to earthy vetiver in a long journey through complicated ingredients.

I dare say this is Chanel no. 5 FOR MEN (minus the baby powder accord). Sparkly bergamot, spicy floral heart and a wonderful citrusy patchouli. This is reminscent of other "stinkers" however this feels more together then the others I remember smelling. I really like this stuff for being so sparkly.

Through a haze of lemon-tinted grey smoke, the gradually emerging outlines of a muscular black bull. He seems at first quite a peaceful and respectable bull, wearing a garland of meadow flowers as he quietly munches the cud. Yet occasionally he snorts and paws the ground. Some people call him Oscar (after the celebrated Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui). There is, indeed, a slight resemblance, although Soldano is a deal darker and more pungent - almost, in some ways, like the civilized and acceptable face of the much feared One Man Show. (de Charlus).

I first found this fragrance in Naples, Italy. Peppery, fiery, and spicy this fragrance, although hard to find is well worth the search.
