Trussardi Skin

It really gives e the headache. I cannot stand it.

Thank you Rosepowdery and Waterlove - thanks to you, I got the unique Skin scent back in my collection with Yardley April Violets. I still have an empty Skin bottle from way back when that still smells of the perfume, and they smell so, so, so similar. I would say I get more and sweeter citrus from Skin, but AV is the first perfume that has a 99% similar DNA. I loved Skin 25 years ago, it was the most unique fresh but still warm and well rounded perfume I owned.

I recently picked up the Victoria's secret New York fragrance mist during this year's semi annual sale and it instantly put me in mind of Skin!

Great suggestion, Rosepowdery; thank you! I tried Yardley April Violet, and it's so similar! After layering Yardley with a lemony smell from Novellista—Citrus Affair, I could immerse myself again in my old (much younger self) fragrance—the unforgettable Trussardi Skin!

I wore this years ago and it was really nice. On my skin it resembled D & G Light Blue but with some added violet in place of LB's apple. I don't like Light Blue but I liked this. It smells very French.

Thank you Rosepowdery for your review! I had Trussardi Skin when I was only 17 and it was such a hit, I kept getting lots of compliments and the actual perfume inspired me to do a lot and be brave (exams, boyfriends, etc)! After about 10 years I kept looking to buy it, but of course, it was impossible. It is such a shame that they discontinued it! After reading your review I have decided to give it a chance and for the price of £12.90 go ahead and order it online! And oh my! It smells almost exactly like Skin, just not that strong and long-lasting, but anyway for this price I won't complain!

I waited for the substitution for my most beloved Trussardi Skin for long years. In 2016 I was given Balenciaga Paris l ´essence. It was very similar but a little bit musculine for me. I loved it anyway. Unfortunatelly Paris l ´essence was discontinued as well. Two years ago I had Masaki Matsushima Bois d ´Hinoki which was again very similar and a little but musculine. I cannot find it anywhere too. A few days ago I was shopping online. I came across Yardley April Violets. As usual, I went to Fragrantica page to find out what perfume is the most similar to Yardley April Violets by others. Balenciaga l ´essence was on the first place. I really wanted to give it a try and I bought Yardley April Violets for 12.90 € 125 ml. I did not expect much because of the price. And here I am. Smitten by beautiful, divine and the most similar scent to Trussardi Skin. Not musculine at all. I can ´t describe how happy I am. When I smell only the bottle, it is the same perfume to me. On me it smells so close. I feel like I returned in time.The only difference is that Trussardi Skin was more citrusy, April Violets is more violety. I am going to buy some more bottles because I think it will be discontinued as well. I do not know why violet leaf perfumes are not very popular.

I thought about this perfume for years and years, it was my mom's favorite. At first, it seemed like a crazy idea to buy a bottle of it when now they cost like 200 USD on eBay... but I ended up buying one for my mom and one for myself after a ton of pondering. Zero regrets! The fragrance is just as good as I remembered it from childhood, and my mom is over the moon! It really is the definition of 'skin', so elegant, feminine, timeless, and classy. I'll use it sparingly and cherish it for a long, long time.

Please bring it back!!!! Adore adore adore

Please Trussardi, bring it back! I’m on my last few millilitres of this liquid gold and spring is almost here… Edit: I went to the store and tried Nerolia vetiver by Guerlain (as someone in reviews suggested it was a dupe) and unfortunately to me it doesn’t smell like Skin at all.

I had this one back in the days. Liked it but never finished the bottle (don't know where it went). But recently ran into somewhat of a "dupe": Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain. Not identical but definitely the same vibe. If you miss Skin, give Nerolia a try!

If anyone is selling a bottle please pm me..

Bring the magic back…

20 years later and I still miss it :(

This smells like spring wind, when it blows through the forest, where sun heats up the pine needles - and you have spring time flows in your veins - Take a deep breath, inhale the beatifull smell I have wanted this many, many years, and few moths ago, I get lucky, and had this one - Its beaty and it become your second skin, - If you want to ad something, to make this valuable fragrance last longer, you can put a littlebit La Martinas adios pampamia, it also has pepper and other similarity with Skin ( Ive tryed Eau de Cartier, but its too "cold juice", not like LM ap:a) There is so many disconued perfumes, like Leonards Balache, and other, which are so unique <3

Is it just me or so many gorgeous unique fragrances are discontinued? Is it IRFA regulations that make this scent too difficult to make? Are there certain necessary ingredients that are too expensive or rare? I loved this scent. A fragrance friend went wild for this. I found a bottle inexpensive and took the blind buy plunge. It was stunningly delicate yet lasting. Floral, light green, soft fruit, a touch of wood, and such a wearable musk! It lasted about 6 hours on me. I finished my bottle a few years ago and wished I had the money to buy at least one more but the price was more than $150, out of my range. Oh well, at least I had it for a while. I just can't stand that something so great is discontinued. I'm sure these perfume houses know this, and what a black market it's caused. Wouldn't they rather have the money? I've lost four scents to discontinuation since mid 2020. I still try out new fragrances as I always have, before and after so they aren't losing any revenue. Anyway, if you can sample this, go for it!

I really, really want this one back. I have been trawling eBay, and $500! Umm, no. I miss it so much. It was my signature fragrance. (Am seriously taking it personally that every one I decide is “mine” gets canned.)

i find it too fruity+floral and quite strange initially. But after an hour so, it really starts to shine and smells really pleasant. To me, the smell is just right, not overly done. Im sure it can be office friendly. Can be worn by men too. i secured a bottle for myself.

How could I fail to test it? Yes! Skin is really a valid alternative to Light Blue, with which it shares many notes and almost the same vein. It melts very easily on the skin leaving a pleasant feeling, so energizing too. I'm glad I discovered it 'cause it's great on my skin, as soon as lemon fades away and disappears it leans more towards woody than floral notes, it's also longlasting.

Trussardi Skin is an absolutely gorgeous perfume that initially has more of a Floral Woody Musk feeling than Floral Chypre, since the base feels smooth, and modern.The cedar is more pronounced to me than patchouli and moss. The opening has a lemon/apple brightness rather than smelling "fruity". The florals are very very understated, muguet and perhaps the slight warmth of jasmine are pleasant and ladylike. The violet leaves are my favorite part, ever present. There is a lot of similarity to Balenciaga L'Essence. I haven't sampled Trussardi Skin more than twice, but I can say they are family. Skin is definitely woodier and L'Essence is more floral and much dewier, and fuller. Skin is magnetic, and has a warmer feeling than a lot of dry Chypres out there. So elegant, so blended. And this melds with skin in the best way.

Suede + lemon + green apple + cedar pencils. Unique. Similar to Eau de Cartier. Dry and bitter, very light, not sweet at all.

I wore this today and received an effusive compliment from a grocery store cashier. I really love Trussardi Skin but I don't ever see it being sold in the US. Guess if I want a bottle I should shop around online. It has similarities to D&G Light Blue in feeling, but it's not the same scent. A very clean, shampoo like floral balanced equally with a musky cedar. The drydown is my favorite part, on my skin it smells like the sexiest thing ever.

I had 4 bottles of this unique, delicate and the most beautiful perfume. It was the perfume of the year (2003) in my country. So when I found out it was discounted I was very surprised and disapointed :( I still have my 4 empty bottles and sometimes I sniff them. Nothing is even similar to this. I tried Dsquared2 and I liked it but it is not similar. And Marc Jacobs Blush? Completely different scents. Trussardi Skin I will always miss you. You were delicate, fresh, divine, sexy and gave me a lot of compliments. What a shame...

I blind tested this sample not knowing what it was and my initial thought was it was a white linen flanker. I got an opening similar to aldehydes I then smelt the apple and some citrus notes. I get a woody base and actually don't mind the cedar as it's well balanced. I don't get much sillage and longevity was just a few hours. All in all very fresh, uplifting green feeling scent. I would be inclined to buy a fb as i think i would use it a lot for off duty wear but seeing as it's discontinued I don't really want the effort of tracking one down and paying big prices!

I bought a sample of this hoping for a soft, subtle scent, and it is definitely not that! I kept trying it, thinking I must be wrong about it based on all the good reviews and the description. unfortunately, I don't get any of the nice notes that others do, and it just does not smell good on me. It starts out with a strong, unpleasant "old" note. Almost musty. I can smell nicer notes underneath, but that harsh note never goes away. I don't seem to be able to wear anything Chypre, and it's so disappointing!

Disappointed about this one. Bought based on reviews. Definitely Skin doesn't like my skin, projection is fair enough. My students said: You smell very strange, Miss. On me it smells like I been sharpening pencils all day. Sold it.

Well,i like it,BUT,in no longer than 10 mins is gone,i can't understand why.My mom has a big bag of perfumes and she takes out only those for the current season.This one wasn't even opened,i did open it today.I puffed it on my wrist and felt incredibly beautiful so my mom gave it to me.Very happily went upstairs to my apartment(Mom lives downstairs from me)and changed.Then i took the wrist to my nose to see the dryout...Surprise!Not even a vague scent,not anything.i thought it was the wrong wrist but no,cause my left wasn't smelling at all also...weird thing!Question for you guys: is there any possibility of this one being ruined?I mean Mom takes very much care of her perfumes,she has around 50 and it never happenned with any of them to get ruined,but who knows?Or it has no longevity at all?I mean let's be serious,not even 10 minutes?

SKIN is my second skin: mystical, harmonious and very sophisticated smell-the scent of romance in a truly intriguing troubadour way-the pedestal for beauty and femininity: smooth & sharp, charming & alarming. What a shame that it has recently been discontinued ! To my nose , Dsquared2 "She Wood Velvet Forest Wood” smells pretty similar. If you don't believe me, just try it by yourself! And you will be cherished forever-forget me not!

I wanted to get it for long time, pricey and discontinued. It was discontinued for a reason, light junk, there is nothing going on there. Gave it away.
