What does Solo Esencial smell like?

Tangerine and lime give it a bright citrus feel, while mint, thyme and rosemary add a green, herbal edge. Cardamom and nutmeg bring a touch of spice, and tonka bean and patchouli add a sweet, creamy, woody base. Frankincense and gaiac wood deepen that base with a smoky, resinous note.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it suits daily wear, the office and leisure time. The majority read it as masculine, and some as modern. Proraso Azur Lime and Issey Miyake Fusion d'Issey have a close profile.
