Trussardi Trussardi Uomo The Red is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Aurélien Guichard. Trussardi Uomo The Red opens with Cognac, Citron, Nutmeg, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Geranium, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Trussardi's Trussardi Uomo The Red carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, some love it as a modern classic, others bemoan its lack of originality and poor performance. It's a sweet, boozy, spicy leather with mass-appealing warmth that tries to be everything to everyone and sometimes succeeds. For the price, it's a solid choice - if you ignore the haters.

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:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

This scent is quite versatile, working well for casual outings and dates due to its warm, mass-appealing nature and good projection. It's too sweet and potentially cloying for a formal setting. Its moderate performance makes it acceptable for an office environment, but it's completely unsuitable for sport.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Trussardi Uomo The Red pops open with a boozy cognac hit, spiced by nutmeg and brightened with a zesty citron and green galbanum. The heart blooms into a floral aromatic blend of violet leaf, geranium, and earthy clary sage, adding a fresh yet sophisticated twist. The base settles into a comforting warmth of rich leather, earthy patchouli, and creamy tonka bean, creating a smooth, sweet, and lingering drydown.
