PowderyWhat does El Diablo smell like?
Lime and bergamot bring the freshness, while cinnamon, black pepper, nutmeg and clove add a warm, spicy layer on top. Oakmoss and labdanum give it a green, earthy, slightly powdery depth, with the sweet, gourmand side staying in the background.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so treat these as a rough guide. It reads as masculine. Anglia-Perfumery Spiced Limes and Woods of Windsor For Men / For Gentlemen have a close profile.
