My Full Wear Review

Scuderia Red opens with a blend of citrus notes, mostly orange, and lemon verbena. This is kind of unique scent in a lot of ways. It’s a men’s fragrance by heavy with floral notes that you’d commonly find in a women’s perfume. The jasmine note is quite prominent.

Still, it’s nice and not girly at all. A good blend of the verbena and jasmine giving it an attractive start.

There is also a slight spice from the nutmeg and mint combo lurking in the back. I actually like the opening, the citrus notes are juicy and clean, and the fresh spices with the jasmine comes across well.

As it dries down, I start to detect more of the sandalwood and cedar notes. It’s smooth and adds some more masculinity to the overall composition.

From there, I get a fairly linear scent with a dash of fresh spiciness, on top of citrus soaked wood notes. Scuderia Red is a warm and has a certain brightness about it.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, Scuderia Red has a light sillage. It wasn’t completely weak or anything, as I could detect it just fine throughout the wear. Just don’t expect a monster of a fragrance.

It’s going to stick within the 3-5 foot range for the first hour or so. Then, it’ll be more like 2-3 feet for the rest of the way.

Longevity, it does a solid job for the price, clocking in at right about 6 hours on my skin. As a value play, I really don’t have many complaints with the performance.

Scuderia Red could easily pass as a unisex scent, but one that leans masculine. It’s softness and clean profile make it ideal to be worn casually or at the office, for someone who needs something low key.

Definitely one that should be worn during the early spring and into the summer months. Scuderia Red isn’t a club banger or one that has much sex appeal. Just an inoffensive citrus floral.

Overall Impressions of Scuderia Red

Overall, do I like Scuderia Red? It’s not bad, though, not really my style. The floral notes aren’t my favorite but I do think it’s a solid pick.

I’d say Scuderia Black is better than this one and I’d prefer to wear it over Red, any day of the week.

That being said, it doesn’t smell ‘bad’, it’s just a straightforward clean citrus/floral at a very nice price point. Can be somewhat sharp at times, but it will settle down. Pretty basic, but decent enough.

The performance isn’t spectacular, but it is passable based on what you’re paying. Honestly, this one is probably only worthwhile for under $25. Beyond that, Scuderia Red is probably a reach.
