Theorema Uomo (2001)
by Fendi

There is something in the opening of this fragrance that does not agree with me and I think is too much geranium. I've never been much of a fan of geranium and this scent kinda proves it. It smells to me like stale water from old flowerpots. That note tapers off gradually and I do get to smell the nutmeg/vetiver accord (one of my favorite accords) but I do not get to enjoy it too much because that flowerpot is still there (induces a headache on me BTW).
It is a quality and decent perfumes in all other respects, but that odd opening ruins it for me.

Theorema Uomo = Green freshness, like the stems of plants or flowers.

It's mildly sweet, not at all fruity. Think geranium. In the light spring and summer scent category, this is decidedly masculine. It's the only fragrance I'd wear on a sweltering hot day because it cools you down.

Appropriate for the office, gym, summer evenings and yoga. Sillage: moderate. Longevity: About 5 hours.

An excellent fragrance, sadly discontinued.

Fresh and spicy… The opening presents a fresh geranium / bergamot accord accented by a soft pepper note and a cardamom note to warm the movement up a bit. The geranium provides an aromatic presence that is extended by the cedar in the heart and then picked up by the labdanum in the base so the aromatics pretty much continues through the run of the fragrance, giving a two layered olfactory signature to the fragrance. Under the aromatics, the heart has an interesting nutmeg – vetiver accord that provides the clean feeling of the outdoors.

Musk and amber form the base’s olfactory signature with the labdanum providing that touch of otherworldliness. It’s sweet and smooth and has a very comfortable ambiance. I like this Theorema Uomo a lot… there is so much to it as compared to other fragrances from 2001. It’s discontinued but I’ve noticed bottles still available online. I’m going to be buying: Soft sillage and good longevity.

This one stands in the same row as Tommy and another one from Cartier(don't remember the name).I find there coriander (apparently the only one) and vetiver.Very green and fresh.This could also be a very refreshing aftershave.

Fresh and clean and reminds me a bit of Mugler Cologne and Paul Smith Story's vetiver based clean scents. Much greener however with a slight fizziness to it. Feels less casual than the playful Mugler Cologne. nice.

Damn... These fools discontinued Theorema UOMO... This is stupid - why stop the really successful?

This is a VERY intelligent, beautiful and manly scent... It is man's nature, but the aromat is not brutal and did not pressure. I hear wonderful vetiver!..

Truly Italian perfume (despite the fact that the author-Nose is a frenchman - Jacques Cavallier)...

So why they stopped him?
