What does Olmeda smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn not far behind and winter rarely chosen. It is favoured for daily and leisure wear, and it is light enough to work in an office too.

It opens with grapefruit, cardamom, juniper and pink pepper, fresh and lightly spicy. The heart of Calabrian bergamot, nutmeg, jasmine and cedar adds a green, woody balance. In the base, ambergris, patchouli, apple and musk sweeten and soften it. The overall impression is clean, fruity and slightly synthetic. Afnan Perfumes 9am Dive and Lacoste Essential Sport have a close profile.
