What does Severo smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without taking over the room. Most voters pick spring and fall, then summer, with winter getting the smallest share. It is chosen most for leisure and evenings, and it also works at the office. Voters mostly read it as masculine.

It opens with lime, rum and cola, a fresh, sweet, slightly gourmand start. In the heart, birch, davana and black pepper add a spicy, woody, faintly leathery body. White musk, vanilla and amber at the base soften the sweetness and leave a warm trail. Lattafa Pride Ansaam Silver and Monkoku Brandy Ice have a close profile.
