Ungaro III - How do you wear it?

After reading all the positive reviews for Ungaro III i went and blind bought a 3.4oz bottle for 15$

I am not a big fan of the top notes; they do remind me some kind of insect spray as mentioned in one of the reviews.
The middle and basenotes are nice, and i do like the way they smell.

My only issue is that i am not sure how to wear it...i cant really figure if its more of a cold weather frag' or a warm weather one. I cannot see myself wearing it as a casual scent.

I do think i got the new version (the box was black) which i heard wasnt as good. Anyone can confirm this?

Yes, that's the new version but it's still a good fragrance. I personally prefer it for warmer weather. I think it would do better with a lighter application. My version is the previous one where the bottle was changed but the box was still the floral/marbelized red one. It has a sandalwood finish that lasts a long time. This one reminds me of the "black" genre of scents and therefore, sometimes with heavy application can come across as cheap. Overall, it's an outstanding value--casual or formal.

I'd say it's a cold weather fragrance. Otherwise you can wear it anytime, and anywhere.

It's not as dark as everyone says, or as bright and happy as some others say. I think it has a nice contrast between light and dark, with some notes that you won't find anywhere else (eg. the combination of coriander, lavender and rose).

I bought a bottle blind too, and I wear it casually from time to time. I actually don't like wearing fragrance when I wear a suit or dress shirt, so I can't comment on the formality of it.

To me, it's a quite versatile frag and thus I wear it on many occasions, but though I wear it during warmer weather and with more causal outfits, it still remains to me a colder weather and a more of a formal/evening wear frag

I wear it like any other scent I have. No special considerations.

I like it even more in warm weather. The top notes fade more quickly. Three sprays on the neck and I'm set.

Do all you guys have the new or older version?
I did get a chance today to smell what seemed as the old version; It had that red box but the bottle was the same.

I did smell it and I think it smelled different but I didn't have mine to compare.

I do get a small sour note in mine...does any one else have that sour note? Its a very subtle note
