What does Samphire smell like?
It opens with lime, bergamot, lemon and black pepper, then moves into mandarin orange, lemon grass, basil and ginger at the heart. In the base, oakmoss and tonka bean soften the citrus, and it dries down to a clean, dry woodiness.
Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters pick summer and spring. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as a unisex scent. Acqua di Parma Cedro di Taormina and Dior Granville have a close profile.
