What does Sperone smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin while still making itself known. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Though unisex, it reads masculine.

It opens with thyme and bergamot, giving a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, immortelle absolute and pepper add a floral, spicy and earthy dryness. Cedar and labdanum absolute close it with a woody, resinous warmth. Its profile is close to Von Eusersdorff Classic Vétiver and Guerlain Vetiver Extreme.
