What does Talent smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and half of the voters find the staying power high. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads clearly masculine.
Yuzu and bergamot give it a bright citrus freshness, which black tea softens while Sichuan pepper adds a light spice. Cedarwood and patchouli build a woody, resinous base, and floral and creamy touches take the edge off. Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia I and Azzaro Chrome United have a close profile.
