What does Apéro smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring next. Leisure and evening outings lead the occasion votes. On character, masculine edges ahead, with classic and feminine close behind.

It opens with juniper, lime and bitter orange in a bright citrus-green start. The heart brings salt, garrigue herbs and aniseed, and the scent turns woody, resinous and earthy. The base of laurel, tobacco and black pepper leaves a smoky, spicy dry-down.
