What does Periplo smell like?

It opens bright with orange, Calabrian bergamot, lemon and green mandarin orange, while basil, thyme, rosemary and lavender add a green, dry edge. In the heart, nutmeg, coriander and cinnamon leaf bring the spice forward, with jasmine softening it slightly. The base rests on gaiac wood, sandalwood, Virginia cedar and oakmoss, a woody, faintly earthy floor.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The fresh build suits everyday wear, and it reads clearly masculine. Giorgio Armani Eau pour Homme and Dior Granville have a close profile.
