With a name partly in reference to the Roman Emperor Nero, Nero is classified as a fruity-aromatic.
Commencing with a tropical fruit blast, it smells no different from many soulless masculine designer scents of this ilk. One also senses a fleeting aquatic nuance, as well as some herbaceous accords. With the florals kept in check, so as not to throw its masculinity into any doubt, the patchouli is somewhat dry in its stature. Sadly, the oriental base fails to enhance the patchouli, with an underhanded serving of Iso E Super that later emerges in full force towards the end.
Considering previous masculine creations, from this house, such as Mazzolari, Lui and Vetiver, Nero isn't even worthy of joining the ranks. But, if the recent output is anything to go by, one can only conclude that Mazzolari has completely lost the plot.
