Fiero

I love this fragrance. Its one of my favorite citruses in my collection. I obtained this one from a blind buy while looking for a high-end citrus and was pleasantly surprised to find Casamorati Fiero. Once I actually got to smell the fragrance, I was impressed, it started with a sharp top note of fresh, natural lemon, then dies down to a softer lemon/lime but with the introduction of some floral notes, specifically lavender, but as the cologne begins to dry down, it becomes a very soft version of the lemon and an even softer version of the lavender. This combination is simplistic, yet effective. It feels luxurious and much more natural than other fragrances of the same category. 8.5/10

Marked by Lemongrass throughout all phases. Overall quite linear and super fresh with masculinar DNA. I was hoping for more of the other notes but the case if 85-95% lemongrass to my receptors. At the very end of the dry down the lemongrass is phased out with the base of earthy and woody tones. I think this would make an excellent peak summer fragrance just like Xj Nio and Profumum Viva/Orangea/Ichnusa as well as Amouage Beach hut. But only for those that like citric scents and particularly lemongrass as it is the dominant note. The bottle is really well designed. Not only do you get nice scents with XJ but also bottles!

Very impressed with this. If you love the opening to eau sauvage and pour monsieur, you will love this. It dries down differently but that lemon sherbet opening is just glorious. I tried it on at first and thought it only did one thing, which it did well but I used the tester a few weeks later and smelled it on my clothes and it had this fougere, aftershave vibe. The longevity is incredible considering its style. If you want to smell of lemons in the summer, just buy this now. Only down side for me is it uses the modern perfumery notes that bolsters its performance but lacks the sophistication of eau sauvage.

It's surprisingly difficult to find a good, straightforward masculine citrus. In my experience, they often veer in one of two directions. On the less costly side, noncommittal on the citrus, over a "cologne" (i.e. generic masculine floral musk base, not necessarily related in any way to the classic Kolnische), or on the upmarket, saying something that may or may not be interesting but that isn't primarily about citrus. This one is just pedal to the metal quality citrus, almost loud but I don't think offensive, with just a few masculine grace notes around the edges. Love it on a hot summer day.

Opening is a blast of juicy, sweet, and tart citrus. I get lemon mostly, with some green from the lemongrass. The blood orange is there in the background, along with some mint. I wouldn't call it harsh, but it has a sharpness to it. A bright, fresh, and green fragrance. The dry down is a nice woody fragrance. The citrus still there, though not as intense. I agree with the consensus that Fiero leans a little older. Like the other Casamorati I've tried, this is something I'd envision being worn by a well dressed man with some salt and pepper in his hair and beard.
