What does Taro smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the votes behind those ratings are few. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with sport and night-out use not far behind. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward one gender.

The opening of saffron and pineapple feels fresh, citrusy and fruity, with a cool aquatic edge. Sage and jasmine add a soft floral note in the heart. In the base, patchouli, labdanum and oud settle the scent onto a woody, sweet foundation. Birkholz Portraits of Portofino and Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan have a close profile.
