What does Performance Red smell like?
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters wear it in all four seasons, with spring and fall slightly ahead; leisure and daily use lead, while business and evening get votes too. Most voters find it masculine, and some call it modern.
It opens with black pepper and grapefruit, bright and spicy. Lavender and cardamom form the heart, and in the base patchouli, benzoin and sandalwood sweeten it into a powdery, resinous woody ground, with a synthetic edge. Zara For Him Black Edition Intense and Ishtara Six Elements have a close profile.
