What does Primus smell like?

The top holds bergamot, jasmine, blackcurrant, saffron and ylang-ylang, giving a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, pink pepper, patchouli and amberwood add a spiced, woody depth. The base of musk, cedarwood, amber and vanilla dries down sweet and oriental.

Voters find its longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. Its value for money is also rated well. It reads unisex. Its profile is close to Lattafa Ra'ed Absolu and Al Haramain Prism Noir.
