Spicy woody green but highly synthetic. Well yes they all are but this one comes off as a very sour leathery fougere. Good longevity and a good work cologne as it's not overpowering. i've tried it a few times and I simply did not like how it wears on me.

1989 Woody / Ambery / Fougere

THIS......is a terrific under-the-radar frag !!! Spicy green citric opening with barely a hint of lavender leading into subtle woody florals. Rose in the mids is restrained and kept just earthy enough by sandal.

The base comes off as a leathery woody amber on me and I love it. Sillage and longevity are just right. Not overpowering and not anemic either.

If you are partial to Ricci Club, give this a whirl. It's not the same, but it's safe to say they play in the same division. Big Thumbs up for Tristano.

Other than the top notes, which I usually try to avoid (as I did when I applied Tristano), I detect a strong green note, along with civet and what I think is juniper berry. It's strong for the first hour and a half or so, then settles nicely and lasts a while. Sillage is at least moderate. It's not really my kind of fragrance, so it's hard for me to assess it, which is why I'm giving it the neutral rating. If asked to compare it to Ungaro II, I'd say that U II is more blended and has a richer feel whereas Tristano is more articulated and straightforward.

Tristano is a real FIND! I just tried it and it's great. It's been kept a real secret. If you like a fresh, warm, woody scent...then you'll love this one. It has great staying power and it's unlike any other fragrance out there. I also use the After Shave. This is worth a try...I love it. Josh Augustt 4-12-04
