Emanuel Ungaro Metallic Fire is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024. Metallic Fire opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pineapple, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Geranium, Apple, and Coumarin, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Emanuel Ungaro's Metallic Fire carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Skip it. This one tries to do too much - a fresh opening, a fruity twist, and a woody base - but ends up smelling like a rather generic, forgettable mess. It's a prime example of a fragrance that never quite lives up to its name.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring

Its woody, aromatic and citrus composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, energetic opening makes it suitable for casual wear and even sport. The woody-aromatic dry down could work for a relaxed date, but it lacks the sophistication for formal settings and might be too energetic for a professional office environment.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Metallic Fire kicks off with a sharp, zesty burst of lemon and pineapple, bright and almost tangy, like a high-energy citrus soda. As that fades, a green apple note emerges, sweetened by coumarin, which gives it a slightly synthetic, woody-vanilla undertone. The base attempts to ground it with sandalwood and oakmoss, but these earthy elements are quickly overshadowed by a persistent, slightly plasticky sweetness. It's a bit of a mish-mash, never settling into one distinct identity.
