What does Paranà smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer for it, with fall close behind, and it is most often chosen for daily wear, leisure and the office. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex. Rancé 1795 Heroïque and Creed Aventus have a close profile.

Cardamom, Italian bergamot and galbanum open fresh and green, while blackcurrant and birch add a fruity, faintly smoky edge. At the heart, Moroccan jasmine, neroli and rose soften things with flowers. The base of vetiver, amber, patchouli, white musk and oakmoss settles into a dry, woody finish.
