What does Sol e Samba smell like?
It opens with yuzu, grapefruit, cardamom and matcha, a bright, slightly bitter green citrus. In the heart, juniper berry, fig leaf and tobacco keep that freshness while pulling it drier and greener. The base of cedarwood, leather, musk and amber leaves a woody, lightly sweet finish.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and the leading occasions are leisure and daily wear, with office use close behind. Masculine, modern and feminine votes are nearly even, so it reads as truly unisex. Floraïku Between Two Trees and Daniel Josier Under the Figtree have a close profile.
