Tuscany Per Uomo

I'm sorry, but the first thing that comes to mind is that this does remind me of Azzaro Pour Homme. So what of it? APH is a legendary fragrance. It's a lighter, classier and airy version of APH. It's far more versatile. I prefer Tuscany and I wear this year around. 8.5/10

I think I got an old batch that's not quite well stored. I got a lot sandalwood and citrus (which is not bright or uplifting anyway), some anise and orange blossom, a layer of leather underneath, and something dusty out there. It feels like an old, dusty room with woody decor. Not bad, but I'll wait to see whether it'll grow on me. I agree with some comments below that it doesn't resemble Azzaro pour Homme. "Reminds me of" on this page should be taken literally. ----------- Tried again after a few weeks. It does remind me of Azzaro which is definitely a cousin who is to my nose less citric, more herbal and sandier with iris. Less sandalwood this time, and spicier and a bit smokier. Old school in an elegant way.

I am so excited that I found this after soooo many years! I literally joined the track team in 1988 over the smell of Tuscany ( then of course the "boy" that was wearing it) I think I'll buy a bottle to spray my pillowcases. Thanks for the memories.

I don't understand the Azzaro PH comparison at all... Or the Loewe PH comparison either. Chevignon at least feels like it's a little closer to being in the same genre, although one does not make me think of the other. But Celini Faberge is nearly identical. All to say, Tuscany is one of the most unique fragrances I've ever smelled (if one disregards the nearly unknown Celini). It's naturalistic and uplifting - if I spray it on before spending time outdoors, it makes the whole world seem to smell better, like the grass and trees are exhaling.

I have some vintage juice. Beautiful. This 90s vintage bottle reminds me of the old batches of aventus. Like 2010 when it was more herbaceous. Very nice.

I don’t find it that similar to Azzaro PH. I also don’t think you need to seek out the vintage formulation. The current formulation serves me just fine. Interestingly, although listed as a classic fougere , this borders on the realm of a citrus aromatic. I really dig this one.

Blind buy from an online retailer. Smells like a dusty shelf in an old cupboard. Total failure. Never again.

Upon further examination, I see that my small spray bottle has lost pretty much all of its top except for the lavender. It jumps straight into the middle and is quickly backed up by the base. I can only imagine what this would smell like with the citrus intact.

Aramis Tuscany from 1984 is undoubtedly, the best men's citrus fragrance I've come across so far, and it gives me more artistic, creative, and visceral satisfaction than either Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EDT from 1966 or Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza from 2010. This is a very satisfying good old school citrus-leather barbershop/fougere fragrance, with a fresher and more citric opening and a darker and more toned down citrus-leather drydown. It's a very evocative scent. It smells literally like you're paying a visit to the rustic, warm, inviting, and traditional countryside of Tuscany. What does this fragrance remind me of? I've never experienced this in person, but the association I'm making in my mind is more specifically a visit to a traditional Italian barber in a small, sleepy, traditional Tuscan village, with a rich history and heritage, in the middle of a hot, sunny Italian summer day. While seated at the barbershop, you smell the sharp yet inviting leather of the armchair and the pungent and herbaceous smell of the rustic warm Tuscan countryside right outside. When the barber is done, he applies a sharp green citrus cologne or aftershave on your face and neck, and this scent is mixed in the air with the sharp leather scent that the armchair exudes, mixed with the herbs and green grassy sun-drenched feel of the Tuscan countryside just outside the barbershop. I prefer Aramis Tuscany over Azzaro Pour Homme EDT from 1978. Despite that many people claim these two fragrances are similar, I detect no similarity of any kind. I have both fragrances in my collection and I've compared them extensively. To me, Aramis Tuscany and Azzaro Pour Homme EDT are vastly different fragrances. In my humble opinion, Aramis Tuscany is a fragrance with an unmistakable and unforgettable traditional Italian elegance, refinement, sophistication, and an old-world gentlemanly charm and charisma. Aramis Tuscany is an excellent all-rounder for day and night, spring, summer, fall, and winter, and informal and formal events. Final score: 8/10.

The basil and anise are such powerhouses that the lavender in the opening is only apparent in the sense that you subconsciously recognize you're smelling a fougère. It opens very similar to Azzaro PH with a twist of lime and the real distinctions developing in the dry down. It's definitely managing to have that Aramis DNA somehow make it's statement despite Tuscany being a fougère, rather than a chypre. But, as those distinctions develop, it remains close enough to Azzaro, that I'm not surprised this is the discontinued Aramis flanker that has managed to linger on the primary retail market. This isn't intended as a backhanded compliment. It's like wearing a beautifully leathered fougère in an Italian kitchen. Very easy to enjoy and definitely its own thing. Having, however, smelled Devin and 900, this is the one I see having less of that X-factor that has people scrambling on the secondary market.

phew boy, this is a awesome fragrance. Very happy with it. Definitely reminds me of Azzaro Pour homme in the drydown due to the anise/caraway combo, but with much more oakmoss and a dusty earthiness. There is as much stronger citrus top that remind me of Chanel Pour Monsieur and perhaps a bit of Hermes Equipage. Guess I need to try the original Aramis now. (the vintage bottles I managed to obtained have turned)

I was a BIG Aramis HATER back in the day (2013) . ( as per The Original) . Thank goodness , Tuscany is an EZ find at the flea markets and thrift stores! I'm using up 2 different sized 1/4 full bottles that are probably 30 to 40 years old. Paid $5.00 each. This is magnificent as it goes against all the rules of modern Mall Era perfumes for men. So in turn - THIS IS NICHE , and .. brutally so ! the first spritz evokes "mean bald Uncle w/ a lotta money". There is a heft , weight and volume to this dashing bastard. The simmer-down is so much nicer - with a masculine and very distinct dry down. Hard leather saddle on a trip back from the barbershop in 1942. This is very OLD SCHOOL but, when you want a vacation from the normality of today and want to feel like more of a man -- this is that ego boost you were missing . This feels very SERIOUS -- I'd wear this to court if I had to appear. Grade: A minus. based on vintages. You can be sure the modern day version of this has been reduced to a scrawny trembling plucked chicken.

smells like boucheron pour homme. has the same abhorrent chemical detergent smell. i'm not surprised this deleamont dude had a hand in creating both of them.

@decodawn Same here. My dad has been wearing it since the early 90s, and when my mom wears it smells totally different. Great cologne. Has aged well.

Ladies! This is the best Christmas/holiday fragrance for you to wear! It's really fabulous! My husband has been wearing this for the past 33 years and I love it on him but also myself. High quality ingredients as listed above, fresh top notes and a gorgeous sensual dry down. Merry Christmas 2025 ❤️🎄

Serious dark suit and white shirt fragrance. If you want to impress on your business colleagues, it's a great choice. Also good for any formal occasion. Very distinct but yet natural and uncomplicated. The designer nailed this one, a true classic. Might turn off younger because it's dry and somewhat tart. A 8/10 score for me because performance is not the best.

It smells like pencil shavings but in a good way. Lovely spice…

This one reminds me of the base of Equipage by Hermès. The smelling profile is very very popular among the "for men" offerings from different brands in the 90s - early 20s including a lot of deodorant and soap products making it very familiar smelling.

I obtained a 1/4 fl oz sprayer. Not sure if it's recent or older but whichever, it is excellent. I sort of get why the opening reminds some of Azarro but, for comparison's sake, to me it's much more of a cross between original Aramis and 1980s Boss Sport, with a touch of Paco Rabanne. Strongly recommended.

If you were sent here by the Azzaro's page, I did the same route. This perfume DOES NOT SMELL LIKE AZZARO. Maybe in the same ball park, but more serious and classic (probably outdated, to someone). To me the leather notes are quite prominent, I'd see Tuscany as a middle-aged version that doesn't try to attract young girls. For some reason, it's extremely hard to find today a perfume even vaguely resembling Azzaro pour homme from the 2000, whatever you might read on that page (I tried literally for years to like the new one).

Yes it does start off quite similar to Azzaro, but once it hits the heart note, they take on a different direction altogether. I get a very pleasant, naturally sweet scent from the anise and it's probably also why I am picking up a honey note. A beautiful scent that you can wear throughout the year, backup bottle worthy.

Tuscany and Devin were my summer/winter signature scents in the 80's. I recently purchased a bottle of the reformulation and its noticeably different to the original sadly. Very lavender-forward after the starting citrus blast, and those citrus notes are thin and even more short-lived compared to the original. The dry-down shares some similarities and the light woody herbals come through, but its more soapy and the wood notes are muted. Gone is the oakmoss, and also the longevity. On my skin, after the initial citrus blast and lavender flourish this reformulation is a faint skin scent in under an hour. Its a nice skin scent on dry-down, but performance is nothing like the original. Disappointing but not entirely unexpected.

I LOVE the way Tuscany per Uomo smells. It does start off very similar to Azzaro Pour Homme, but the similar, acrid/Lemony top notes fade quickly and then your left with the soft/Sandlewood base. Now, when I say that the top notes fade "THEY FADE COMPLETELY" which is the only dig I have on the current formulation of Tuscany. I recall using this fragrance many years ago and it just hit completely differently, but hey, atleast its still easily found (for now) bc it is discontinued. Im thinking about layering Azzaro over Tuscany to see what I get. Also, I thought the scent's performance was abysmal when Id first got it bc the sandlewood base seemed so "Intimate", but I had gotten a very nice compliment hours after I could no longer smell it on myself, so it does perform a bit better than one might think.

A bit original — perhaps because of the anise, which adds a sparkling quality that coats the whole composition. Because of this sheen, it initially feels quite classic, in the vein of Lauder or 1881. But it doesn’t share their DNA. Remaining sparkling, it positions itself more alongside “walls” than barbershop-oriented orientals — closer to Azzaro, or something even more desiccated. There’s a hint of alcohol-like notes pushing slightly toward Declaration, but only faintly. Over time, it sinks downward, darkens — it needs to be tested on skin. Eventually it turns rather dry, as if the last drop of water had been wrung out and the whole thing left to bake in harsh sun. ⸻ It’s quite coherent — but how to classify it other than as a wall? In this case, an unusually suffocating one: no opening, no breath, no oriental warmth — just a collection of spices that seem designed purely to choke. Still, it’s beautiful. So: the opening differs noticeably from the early drydown — it starts off hinting at the Lauder family, but quickly shifts into complete aridity. Not a naturalistic dryness like French Lover, but more like a thoroughly wrung-out Aramis by Aramis.

This is an all-season men's classic square-nested sound. Sure, there is Mediterranean citrus and the tartness of cypress, thuja and southern herbs, but in the end, everything is filled with a woody, prosaic, mossy juice of square-nested sound. If I were a man, I'd wear this every day to a sedentary white collar job.

Found a nearly empty bottle (about 20 sprays left) in an antique mall for $2, so why not. Top notes are almost completely gone so an initial blast of the kitchen mid-notes hits hard and long. Out of that, the patchouli, basil, and leather surface first. Still waiting on the rest to show up. Even now, stripped and oxidized, the longevity of this stuff is impressive enough for me to consider looking for vintage.

I find myself reaching more and more for these older scent profiles. For one, they stand apart from all the tasty gourmand ones we frequently come across. I find even the latest trend of pushy wood profiles, while more masculine, just feel like aromatherapy than a proper “attitude” and signature to the person wearing it. This has depth, and bravado. Masculine, but doesn’t feel old, to me it just strikes how a sophisticated man that cares enough about his grooming, and the little details, that he stands apart from a person that smells like rich dessert. I am not saying I don’t appreciate gourmand, but they lack character and are often just too safe, as well as common. I like a challenge in the profile, and that people will not be able to identify it among the Dior’s and Gucci’s of today. This definitely feels mid 80’s, dry with citrus and wood. Has that Drakkar flair, without the creamy barbershop sweetness. This is good, and worth picking up before it vanishes.

So, I purchsed a new formulation of Tuscany per Uomo about a month ago, I was so very dissapointed in the performance as the bright lemony top would dissapear within 20 minutes after being on my skin, to then turn into a generic woody scent. I'd almost left a rant/review here on fragrantica, but I read Luna-J's take a few reviews down where they'd said that it improves over-time. Absolutely true! Thankfully, after about a month the performance has drastically improved, and I even think the color of the juice has changed from gold to a light green-ish gold (unless I'm loosing my mind). Anyways, it is reminiscent of the older formulations though not as intense, but NOT bad. It still smells amazing and last 5-6 hours on skin and much longer on clothes. So remember to spray a bit out and let it sit a while before really starting to use this gem😉

For those who could conceivably be interested, I threw down some thoughts on Tuscany Per Uomo as far back as 01/14/15. Many bottles of this potion have passed through my hands, and I was already harbouring three when I recently came across a fourth (ticketed at a fire sale price). It has since entered my collection. Across the four the oldest Tuscany Per Uomo dates from ~ 2014, and the most recent from 2024. In my observances, there's no discernible difference between them. They all start out the same. Similarly, they all age the same: once opened and given indeterminate time to 'rest', the contents undergo a transformation – an enrichment – that for those with long enough memories invites comparison to the (1984) original. (I fully expect the latest purchase to do the same.) Top notes are a scintillating blend of citrus, cinnamon and anise, which rapidly entwine with herbaceous basil, caraway, tarragon and coumarin. The anise and bergamot endure to find expression in base notes of patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss and leather. The result is harmonious, masculine, and transcendent – and unmistakeable when encountered. Originally a light golden colour, versions from around the millennium had a pronounced yellowy green tinge; so it is nice to see a return to the familiar amber hue of old. So, whilst the scent is pretty accurate, the projection and longevity are not quite up to the original. I will say this though: the four bottles I own perform pretty decently – far better than the majority of EdTs – for all the constraints imposed on the manufacturer. Aramis' Tuscany, Trumper's Eucris and the original (1974) Givenchy Gentleman are decades-long favourites that luckily remain purchasable. Into my sixth decade, my four bottles of Tuscany Per Uomo should last out my days. One can but commend Aramis for their commitment and willingness to preserve this legendary scent. One for all men, for all seasons, and I'd say, for all time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is bright, woody, leathery, and has a snuffed candle smell. SEXY. Perfect for church.
