What does Numero Uno smell like?

The opening of orange, bergamot, lavender and eucalyptus is bright and herbal. In the heart, violet, rosemary and patchouli add a floral, green and lightly spicy depth. The base of tree moss, vetiver and myrrh sets it on a resinous, earthy footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with leisure, daily and business wear leading. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Detaille Escrimeur and Balenciaga Ho Hang have a close profile.
