My first foray into the house of Ungaro, and what a start! Ungaro II (U2) is one of the most sensual and well blended fragrances I have tried in recent time.
I couldnt find the notes listing for U2, but despite being masterfully crafted its not hard to detect whats going on. U2 opens with a slick lavender note - its neither too floral nor sharp, and piques the senses. Soon after, I detect hints of citrus, followed by a floral heart which enriches the composition. At this point, the much talked about civet note makes an appearance - to me its a stroke of genius to mix gonad scrappings with the sensual + happy-go-lucky feel of the previous notes. The civet isnt raw or unbearable - for sure its detectable, but instead of recalling images of donkey poop on an exquisite floral bed on a sunny afternoon, the civet note here draws images of a sensual passionate encounter with the opposite sex at a richly perfumed private dig amidst secrecy.
Ungaro II is a sensual, rich, provocative fragrance. The lavender + citrus + floral composition is enriched by a near perfect rendition of a civet note. These are cat gonads at their finest. Some things arent meant to last forever, but this is one rare case where I longed for some discontinued gonad goodness.
