Francesco Smalto pour Homme
Eau de Toilette, Francesco Smalto (1987)

Nice green late 80's classic masculine with decent wear time and a nice looking eye catching bottle. The scent is kinda obvious to other juices. To me this is a little similar to Drakkar Noir but not identical. This is a non invasive non intrusive scent that can easily be worn at work, in an elevator or on a date. This works well in many a casual situation so buy it and apply it. You won't be disappointed

8/10

Wanted to scent this some time ago as it was recommended by a few of my Basenoter friends.
What do you know, a Decant came with a recent purchase of Vintage stuff.
Here's a very nice Cologne that offers the Citrus Lavender start of many Fougeres of the 80's. Do I sense a little Cuminy background or is it the Tarragon led Herbal bouquet adding a little Spiciness. I recognize the Sweet freshness of the Cyclamen which adds a Freshness. Thank goodness the Ozonic Cucumber Sea Breeze missed this scent thing.
The light Tobacco Tonka does it's task admirably and sets the Smalto squarely in the Fougere camp for me. Passes through a period of light Leather reminiscent of Equipage.
Very enjoyable ride to an aura of a Well Dressed Groomed Masculine Gentleman.
Nice.

Herbal, dry, smoky, leathery, aldehydic, mossy—dreamy masculinity bottled.

Unlike some of the 80s fougeres that arguably come off as somewhat strident, Francesco Smalto Pour Homme is a smooth operator, with an understated naturalness that sets it apart for its genre.

Be sure to pick up a bottle with the ridges in the gold collar of the cap.

Vintage Francesco Smalto Pour Homme (Purple box / Made in France)

Francesco Smalto smells exactly like what you would expect a masculine fougere from 1987 to smell like - spicy, rich, mossy, smokey and generally BOSS.

Fans of this decade will revel in Smalto, especially the vintage, which has the mossy punch and lasting power many crave. To me, this one smells like a blend of VC & Arpels Tsar and Gucci Nobile with a pinch of Jacomo.

4 stars

I am so glad that I got a bottle of this...

Masterpiece

A bit ‘Lectric Shave, a bit Gucci Nobile. A nice scent, bold and billowy.
