What does Petrol smell like?

The top notes are pineapple and aquatic notes, so it opens fresh, lightly sweet and fruity. At the heart, green notes and ginger take over and add a spicy edge. The base of tonka bean, musk and amber softens and sweetens it, leaving a slightly synthetic feel.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only indicative. It is rated well for value. Bond No. 9 Union Square and Custo Barcelona Enjoy Custo Barcelona Man have a close profile.
