What does Perfection smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings deserve some caution. It is classed as a masculine scent.

It opens with bergamot, lemon and green notes for a bright start. Lavender, orange blossom and rosemary lead the heart, and moss, sandalwood and cedarwood set a woody, powdery base. Aquatic and spicy facets run alongside. Mazzolari Hartley and Parfums de Marly Darley have a close profile.
