What does Epicentro smell like?

The top holds amber, angelica root, gaiac wood, benzoin, fir balsam and cumin, giving a resinous, spicy edge. Calamus, ambrette seed and maté in the heart add an earthy, green note. Bergamot, cedarwood and Virginia cedar in the base settle into a dry, citrus-tinged woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, though summer draws a fair share too. Leisure and business are the top occasions. More voters call it masculine than anything else, yet it stays balanced enough to be unisex. Floraïku In the Rain and Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
