Reviews of 10 Corso Como (1999)
by 10 Corso Como

As others have already mentioned, skin chemistry plays a very important role here – wearing this could either be a pleasure or simply a nightmare. For me, there is something about 10 Corso Como that I just don't like. On my skin, it smells like cheap red wine (which is supposedly the plum note) - this sharp resinous accord takes ages to subside and irritates more than it intrigues. I did detect some oud but it wasn’t as evident as I had expected. As for the drydown, this was nothing more than a whisper of sandalwood with remnants of what went on before (i.e. not much). Although its lasting power is okay, its sillage is below average.

10 Corso Como isn't a complete failure, though - more a sore disappointment. Definitely a case of try before you buy.

This is definitely a scent that depends on chemistry. On me it is resinous, sharp, even harsh. Not that that is always a bad thing, but there is no softness in it for me. Very hard scent. Nothing like Avignon at all on me. I get no floral from it whatsoever, only resin.
