   |  This is a rather unsatisfactory product that introduced itself to me with a liquid Haribo opening. The last time I was assailled by such a dense sucrose salvo was when I tested Paco Rabanne One Million, and if anything this was even more unwieldy. The citrus elements in the opening seem to be completely overpowered, and for the first hour this feels clumsy and lumpen. The only wearable phase occurs some two hours in, when the rather thuggish elements have receded, and a far more entertaining blend of ingredients are permitted to shine through. A dry, spiced tobacco accord has its brief moment in the sun, then evaporates all too quickly leaving one disappointed on almost every level. 06 June 2009 |
  | There is absolutely nothing remarkable about this at all - other than the fact that it lasts less than an hour. Horrible and boring. A huge thumbs down. 28 May 2009 |
  | Not impressed. Yes it is better than Boss Botled in one aspect, not as nauseating sweet (still way too sweet though), but more importantly it lacks some spicy or herbal notes, it really needs a good kick in the butt: what is left on my skin is all sweets without a proper base. Where Boss bottled at least had its base right from the start, vanilla and musk, this one is undefined, only sweet and musky, like a bar of cheap toilet soap. There's one fragrance, apart from Boss Botled, this cologne reminds me of: Maxim's Pour Homme, a very sweet and fresh scent, but aggressively sharp. Be ware, Baldessarini is definitely one that may cause a migraine. 09 June 2007 |
 | I could almost give this one a neutral rating because it is a really great scent, but it has no longevity at all. It might last about an hour, 2 maybe (and that's if you empty the bottle). Maybe if it was at least eau de toilette it might be better. 09 May 2007 |
  | Nothing special. Too expensive for nothing. And, by the way, I avoid smelling like a cigar. Tobacco notes are sensual in very slight quantities. Not like in this one. It could be written on it:"Tobacco kills":)) 17 September 2006 |
 | The notes pyramid is misleading. One would think that going by the notes listed, it would smell fresh and uplifting. Rather, it smells very sweet...to me, from the top notes to the basenotes, it smells like Smarties candy. You can detect a hint of tobacco in the drydown, but then by that time, you would probably be investing in a scent which really is a more sophisticated in both name and content, unlike this mess.... 15 June 2006 |
 | It sure does separate the men from the boys....wear it, and like a boy you shall smell. 8-< Too sweet, not enough masculine elements in it, and quite a bunch of hype. (Sorry, Hugo Boss dudes: I do like "Boss" (silver) a *lot*, though.) 24 October 2004 |

| Over rated, smells like nothing special-just a typical man's cologne. I was told this was a big time "power" scent and believe me-it AIN'T. If you want power, just go into a meeting wearing pure vetiver oil. This is for folks who think that wearing a scent will make them _________ (you fill in the blank. Big, big disappointment. 22 August 2004 |

| I have 2 problems with Baldessarini. First i thought the smell is a little too feminine for me. Second it doesnt last long about 2-3 hours. Not worth the money for me 17 June 2004 |

| Liked this one at first but have abandoned my bottle after finding it too sweet . Boss make all their fragrances quite potent in one way or another and i just can't take to them .... 28 November 2003 |

| I think this talk about 'mature' fragrances is just another marketing ruse. Sure, packaging-wise this looks like the kind of fragrance aimed at older men, but don't be fooled - the important element, the fragrance itself, is nothing remarkable. It has an unpleasant, sickly sweetness that dries down after an hour or so to a less offensive base. I couldn't describe it as grown-up or particularly classy: If you're looking for a fragrance that really separates the men from the boys, try Vetiver by Guerlain. 12 May 2003 |
