What does Grigioperla Essence (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, salt, pink pepper and cypress, a bright start with a light spice. The heart of lavender, magnolia and jasmine adds a soft floral touch. The base of vetiver, cedar and oakmoss lays down a woody, green foundation, while arborvitae and maritime pine give it a resinous freshness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat these as a rough guide. Voters lean towards leisure and daily wear, then the office. It has been discontinued. Les Senteurs Gourmandes Thé Absolu and Creed Green Irish Tweed have a close profile.
