What does Cretan Vagabond smell like?

It opens with grapefruit, lime and bergamot for a bright citrus start, while aquatic notes and grass pull that freshness in a green, watery direction. The heart brings neroli, fennel, black pepper and star anise for a spicy line, with thyme adding an herbal touch. In the base, leather, woods and tobacco give it a dry, woody footing, and musk and ambergris soften the finish.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate, though the sample is small, so this is an early impression rather than a firm verdict. Pernoire Vitias and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo (Parfum) have a close profile.
