What does Faro smell like?

It opens with ginger, Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit and lime, which give it a sharp, bright start. In the heart, aquatic notes, magnolia, olive leaf and mineral notes build a floral, watery feel. Patchouli, amber and white musk sweeten the base slightly and settle it on a woody footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. It leans a little more masculine, though feminine votes are not far behind. S.T. Dupont Essence Pure Ice pour Homme and Acqua di Portofino Donna have a close profile.
