Red for Men by Giorgio of Beverly Hills: An Original Review

Fragrances are like miniature time machines. Their notes can take you back to great movements or places in human history – the spices of the Ottoman Empire, the fragrant herbs of Ancient China, the scents of the royal courts of France and the power fragrances of 1980s America. Fragrances can also take you back to important or special moments in your life. For instance, when I sold scents in my defunct online department store, Soir de Paris by Bourjois was my bestselling perfume. Many customers wrote that it reminded them of their mothers and grandmothers. This beautiful scent evoked lovely memories of the women in their lives.

Red for Men by Giorgio of Beverly Hills smells like the eighties even though its origins can be traced back to 1993. It has the same feel as the eighties power fragrances. It is luxurious and strong. Its green, spicy and woody notes reminds me of the drama of wealthy families during that decade, the kind of characters that you would see on Dallas, Dynasty and Falcon Crest. Red also reminds of my father during the 1980s. A big man with a huge personality, he was a manager that worked for a major corporation and the leader of my family. He wore colognes that used very masculine and strong chords. These scents represented his powerful aura.

The nostalgic feel of Red is a major characteristic of men's fragrances of the 1990s. Many nineties colognes took scent lovers to their past lives. In addition, men's fragrances of this decade evoke the natural elements: earth, fire, water and wind. In the case of Red, it has an earthy scent; it smells like a spicy forest.

As a woody-chypre fragrance, most of the notes in Red are spicy and very green, which makes it a very masculine cologne. As a wearer of this fragrance, it does have good lasting power on my body. Also, I suspect that most people would expect me to wear this very manly scent. I am a very large and masculine looking man who happens to be 35+, and colognes like Red are expected to grace my body. I love this cologne and it will always belong in my fragrance wardrobe.

Red begins with caraway, artemisia, basil and bergamot. Its heart is juniperberry, wormwood, geranium and thyme. It finally dries down to patchouli, oakmoss, leather, and cedar. Its juice is housed in an architecturally streamlined bottle.

This fragrance is very rare. If you see it, I highly recommend that you buy it. You may never get a chance to purchase it again. It can be found in limited supply at many online perfumeries. It is available as a 1.7 oz eau de toilette and a 3.4 oz eau de toilette. I highly recommend Red for men with mature and nostalgic taste.
