What does Toro smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of ratings is small, so this is a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It scores high for value, and it reads as a masculine scent suited to everyday wear.

It opens fresh, citrusy and green, with orange and grapefruit giving a fruity brightness. In the heart, pelargonium and pepper add a floral, spicy turn. The base of vetiver, cedar, patchouli and benzoin settles into something woody, earthy and lightly resinous-sweet. Its profile is close to Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and Swiss Arabian Vetiver and Orange.
