Milan boutique 10 Corso Como has launched 10 Corso Como Uomo, the masculine counterpart the followup to their 1999 fragrance, 10 Corso Como.
10 years after creating 10 Corso Como Parfum, 10 Corso Como Uomo continues on the sensual and refreshing path of independence inspired by the first fragrance.
Tradition meets innovation and spices meet cool, blending together harmoniously into a unique fragrance captured within its intriguing colour.
[...] This light, luminous, “airy” fragrance mysteriously disguises its deeply sensual heart and creates an alluring presence with hints of ginger, mandarine, ylang ylang and mysore Vanilla.
Additional notes include bergamot, jasmine, black pepper, cedar, amber and musk.
10 Corso Como Uomo can be purchased now at Liberty in the UK, £69 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum, or pre-ordered at Beautyhabit in the US, $120.

I dont see anything necessarily feminine about the original. im a guy and i love it and plan to buy a bottle. ill be sure to try this version tho.
I’m baffled, too. The current version is clearly a reformulation–it smells nothing like the descriptions of the original scent–but I can’t imagine that anybody on Earth would think of it as anything other than a unisex scent, and in fact I would imagine some people think of it as a classic masculine, since it’s composed almost entirely of wood.
So I’m surprised they’d make a Uomo version, when (to my mind) the obvious thing to do would be to make an equally unisex flanker.
Ugh…total mistake on my part, I should not have worded it that way — it is not meant to be a masculine version of their first scent, which so far as I know is not gendered anyway. Huge apologies, it’s even worse because I was gone all afternoon & so did not catch this quickly.
Easy mistake to make, since “uomo” means “man”.
Oh, I knew that, but still “masculine counterpart’ wasn’t the wording I should have chosen.
If anyone knows where to buy 10 corso como in Canada I would love to know!! But I suspect it’s only available online.
Luckyscent ships to Canada; I’ve ordered from them on numerous occasions and never gotten anything but excellent service. (It’s where I got my sample of 10 Corso Como.)
I am eternally in love with the original 10 Corso Como. I fell in love with it because it was not overly feminine but rather earthy and spiritual in a sensual way. This Uomo version does not appeal to me by description but I will have to sample it.
I admit it does not sound as alluring as the first 10 Corso Como to me either…but still, want to try it just because I love the original.
