I love Trussardi frags and I will try this one if I see it.
I am sorry but I have to say it…
I strongly dislike this bottle!
It looks like a men’s drugstore cologne from the 70s.
From the chunky glass to the ugly font.
And even the cap looks ugly to me.
As a disclaimer: I had a long day at work.. but now I am calm and I have even eaten a bar of chocolate so I don’t think my reaction is due to anything but the bottle itself.
I hope the juice is great though!
Here’s an example of what this bottle reminds me of.

Ha, that is not what they intended at all!
“Architect and designer, Carlo Colombo, worked closely with Gaia Trussardi to create the luminous and sleek bottle. The ribbed surface of the glass is inspired by the radiator grill of a car: a strong and masculine element further accentuated by the cap, reminiscent of a steering wheel.”
So they would like you to go eat another bar of chocolate and then take another look
Well it is ribbed and strong and masculine, and it can be luminous too and maybe the photo does not make justice of that quality.
But when I think of sleek I honestly dont think of radiators and steering wheels.
But hey I am sure Carlo and Gaia put their heart into this, so what the heck, I’ll eat some more chocolate today and re examine after that. LOL
And thank you R for digging up that info! :-*
About Trussardis, the Trussardi uomo and Trussardi donna duo of frags of the mid 90s were, IMHO two underrated very nice perfumes. Classic smelling fragrances that managed to smell sophisticated and avoided going full retro at the same time. Looking forward to smell this new one.
I have always heard that about Trussardi. It is possible to buy the fragrances here, but since they are not distributed in department stores it is not so easy to find testers, so it’s just another brand that isn’t really on my radar. Which is FINE because I have enough brands on my radar already!
Not crazy about the design either. But i’d have to see it for real for final judgement.
What bothers me most is the ugly font on the label. Take that away and it already looks better.
They should just stick to their logo, its elegant and timeless.
The cap looks cool to me, but of course have not seen it in person.
