Clichéd and generic are the very first words that spring to mind, after smelling 10 Corso Como Uomo. Over ten years after the release of 10 Corso Como, it was only natural to expect this house's follow-up to be something special or even remotely interesting. Sadly, it's neither.
Instead, it's an uninspired spicy-woody caricature, with too great an emphasis on the predictable contemporary masculine accords of ginger, black pepper and cedar. It's also bone dry, linear, greyish in its olfactory tone and exceedingly dull. Not even the obscured vanilla and amber can redeem it from being so mundane.
With minimal projection and excellent staying power, one has encountered this type of masculine fragrance far too many times before, thus rendering its existence utterly pointless.
