What does Preludio smell like?

It opens with marine notes, Sicilian lemon and French lavender, clean and bright. In the heart, sandalwood, pine and tobacco pull it towards a woody, slightly spicy side. The base of musk, ambergris and algae keeps the sea-air feel going, with floral and fruity touches mixed in.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so treat that with caution. Voters lean towards leisure, business and daily wear, with some picking evening and sport. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, an easy everyday scent. Pierre Cardin Bleu Marine pour Elle and Jacques Zolty Flowersea have a close profile.
